That would certainly help alleviate the glare problem on the glass. Good idea and thanks, Ross

The reflected "X" is was really exaggerated by the fact that it was pitch dark outside and my camera didn't want to focus. Also, any bit of dirt/dust stuck to the back of the gauge lens is going to be illuminated. The L.E.D's I put in have a narrow (10 degree I think) beam. If you could...

If a guy was worried about the ambient light from the L.E.D's affecting vision while driving at night you could mount the L.E.D's pointing down from the top of the gauge too. That way you'd never see the pinpoint light. I agree with the concern though. If the gauge panel was directly in front...

Yeah, if those are set up to work off 24V then you wouldn't want to wire them up in series. If you did, they would end up being half as bright as they should be. With the 24V L.E.D's you could wire them all in parallel and be done. If you're thinking of doing this proect I'd highly...

Thanks everyone for the info here. Although difficult, I refrained from licking the gauge pointers during this install. Thanks again :-D

Yeah, I didn't handle the pointer or anything else inside the gauge so I should be fine. Been there, done that with the flashlight while in other vehicles without working dash lights. You're right, passenger just don't take a shine to it ;-)

Sorry about not giving any replies to this, I just got the chance to get on a computer. Hmmm...I'm hoping none of them had radium in them as that would be unpleasant. I did think about the fact that the gauges were sealed and I decided that if I ever had water up that high in the cab I had...

Well, figured I'd share what I spent one of my days off doing while tinkering around on my M35A2. I've never been overly excited with the function of the dash lights in original form. Maybe it's just me but the ambiant light that's supposed to be absorbed by the side windows of the gauges...
