| Looks good man! What did you have to do to get them in there? Just trim across the top and bottom? Just along the top?? Im planning to do the same thing. I got a free blue LED from lsdiodes.com when I ordered my LEDs...because I had 10 or something... Anyway, Im going to try to fit the gauges in along with the clear plastic thingy from the remote...and pop that blue LED behind the dash. Someone already did that on here...but there was no explanation on how it was done I dont think. There is a ton of room behind that dash...You can fit a batt. pack back there easy for LEDs. Justin |

All I did to make the stickers in the dash work was take the stickers out of the top of the remote and all that needs done is a trim along the bottom of the stickers> I like the idea of a dash lights but have only had it for a few days more to come but I also cut the little gauges off the top of my remote with an exacto knife. These will become fog lights for my crawler later on. I found an electric toothbrush with 8 red flashing LED's inside run by 2 AA Batteries those are going on my crawler next....somewhere ? I also bought a set of wheels and tires from walmart today $11.00 they had several sets on clearance but not the batteries. Walmart on 5600 w 6200 so Kearns, Utah Also on the FYI ..I had my own doubts the Red L.E Scorpion existed, Until I found it on ebay:: Last edited by mcdyver1; 03-10-2006 at 04:58 PM.

That was me...I'm going to write it up...just need to get a new digi cam. Basically, I cut the flat piece where he put the stickers out, the took the led and reflector(or whatevr it is) out of the remote. I used thin plastic (that like electronic stuff comes in, and is a pia to open) to put the gauge stickers on. Then I cut the reflector to fit behind the dash, and put the led in just above the gauge cluster, under the dash, so the actual led doesn't shine out, but reflects off the reflector...Any of that make some sense? | |
