Instrument panel mods

Well I thought I would have a go of getting the cruise to light up as the thread by scutyde and whilst I was at it I thought I would look at putting coloured LEDs in the rev counter.
as i was board today at work so decided a little bit of tinkering would happen and i came across a nice circuit board that i will be able to fit to the rev counter and give me 20led lights around the counter starting green and turning red

heres what i got i need to remove or just solder to the legs of the 20 block led

i will take the signal direct from the rear of the rev counter as bottom left is a voltage that when increases, increases the rev needle.

just need to figure out what size led to use now and if i want a straight line of leds or to go round the edge of the dials every 500rpm

well a little bit of work done tonight and using a 9v battery you can see how it will look at the moment only got the red leds in

+ YouTube Video

yeah i know its only 6 seconds long but thats the basic idea

cannot for the life of me embed the video
