<< < (2/3) > >>

All done with the clocks turned out ok not too sure about the led bulbs may try some less bright.

Superb job, that's spurred me to finish mine, I have also been using LED's and they are bright, I have tried several types but not found the perfect one yet, if you find any would you let us know.

Nice work,  good outcome.

If you want to tone down led individually,  you can use nail varnish directly on the surface to add neutral density with grey,  or maybe green to bring closer to face colour.

Edit;- thinking it further,  conventional bulbs are much more yellow than white led,  pale yellow should head them back towards original but careful selection could give halfway house.

Or,  sanding the surface, if they are clear led lens, would increase the diffusion and hence softness of the light source to mitigate some of the localised brightness.

Brilliant suggestions thanks everyone  8)

Re. LED bulbs, if you trawl through Fleabay there is someone who sells coloured instrument LED's including green which could possibly be a suitable solution. Likewise if you want LED's in your rear light, make sure you use RED bulbs only, the light particles from a LED mean that if you use white bulbs in a red lens the result will be a pink light.
