Article: Lighting gauges with Electroluminescent Tape

WOW! That looks fantastic! I've played around with EL tape before, but never thought about using it for gauge illumination!

Considering Chrysler was using EL dashboards in 1960, I'd even call this a "period-correct upgrade!" :eagerness:
 
Super article, I wish you would of written your article before I used the LED lights. The tape would have been so much better. Especially around the safety gauge and fuel gauge. I really think wrapping the tape around the outside of the smaller gauges (with the blue plastic removed) would be a lot easier than my solution of pointing the LED into the gauge.

:encouragement:
 
THAT WAS AWESOME!! I am inspired now!
