Alright, my goal will be to integrate the indicator lights into the gauge panel so that they are invisible until illuminated. I have an idea how to do this. I'll try to do some experimentation this weekend. It'll essentially be the same sort of technique used to make hidden taillights, and marker lights on hotrods. It'll be neat if I pull it off.

I saw those at the top of that page about a week ago. I called, hoping they had the symbols but they don't.



Posting links shouldn't have to do with Mozilla. It's what I'm using.

They are not the same size as the lights in my truck. I opened one of them and I'm not satisfied with the quality. The paint is pealing off of the bezel. I looked at the other two through the packaging and they look the same. 3 out of 3 bad = crappy product.

I'll get the dimensions if you're still interested, but they're not going on my truck. Back to the drawing board. I'm going to try to figure out how I can make my own lenses.

Charlie, are they the same size as the original lights? If not, what diameter and length are they? Thanks, Mike

Funny things these Nascars - they even have a light for when they are chasing someone.

So you have a high beam indicator to let them know you are passing and another to let you know you are passing. It all sounds too confusing.

You would be in a spot of bother if you forgot to turn it off once you had made the pass.

All joking aside they are highly detailed bits of kit.
