TY for posting the pics. One of the issues I've had is seeing the trip odometer, the LED's look like the cure.krasmu wrote:Got my dash project completed. I tried several different light combinations before finding what I really love.The original dash was lack luster and dim. I couldn't read my trip odometer and the indicator needles were dull.
this is the dash with OEM incondesant bulbs.
I really wanted to give the bike a custom look so I chose to use red. They worked great but I didn't like the mono tone of the entire dash. I did love how it made the indicator needles pop and stand out.
I used these.

I decided that I loved the multi color of of the orginal dash but wanted the pop of the bright LED. So I picked up some of these in "cool white" at my local auto parts store for the 4 illumination bulbs only and absolutley love the brightness and notice the Kawasaki Green that these turned my dash.

This is my final dash. It's plenty bright and I love the bright green with the other colors preserved. I did use the red LEDs for my warning lights and some of the same in amber for the turn signals. I was only worried about changing out those bulbs that burn either constantly or more often. I left the fuel, OD, High beam, and headlight out lights alone. This photo comes out a bit brighter than it is in person. I didn't get my f-stop quite right on that shot. It really is a perfect brightness.
