i did awesome thinngs with mine, and i'll get pics once they work...
i have 35LED White gauges (the blue has been sanded away)
and 10 red LEDS for each gauge, and the clear piece that is supposed to distribute light, cut and thick paper put between them, so there is no color leakage..
so, when my tach goes above 3K RPM, the RED leds kick on, and that gauge and THAT GAUGE ONLY kicks on Red...
if i go faster then 65MPH, that GAUGE ONLY kicks on red... i i go past half on the coolant gauge, that kicks on red, and if i go below, a 1/4 of a tank on the gas gauge, then that gauge turns red...
THIS DOES WORK, AND HAD BEEN TESTED, WILL GET PICS ONCE BUGS ARE ALL WORKED OUT
i WILL NOT REVEAL HOW IT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, DO NOT ASK ME

Perhaps if you shared we might be able to help you, if your solution does not work  |

Well finally after a few hrs of rewiring, moving gauges, reshaping fiberglass with a heat gun and getting things lined up as best i could here is my new gauge setup.
if by chance you were going to ask "why the boost gauge" its there for the reason that is sitting on a shelf in my garage.
