Wow, that looks fantastic. Which files did you use -- I think I posted a few here. Did you paint the cluster housing too?
Just the files in the 3D forum. I did need to scale the smaller rings a touch.
Got the lens off in one piece so I sanded up the housing and painted it with SEM plastic paint in satin black.
It’s all fitted with new LEDs and I pulled the reflector prisms and cleaned up the ends and angles the light hits with 3k sand paper and polish with the dremel. Figured smooth surfaces are more important to the prism effect than the reflective coating. LED should help a lot.
Also changing out all the climate control lights to a red led backlight and all dash switches too
