Yes !! You need to post some pictures to show us how you did this !!How did you do the lights. I can't see mine either.
Those kits by SD say red or green...the OP seems to use white. Did he use the kit you referenced?Probably with swampass's kit.
I mean, swamp donkey.

I used 24 volt LED strips and wired them into the existing dash lights. I'll post some under dash pics when I get home from work. The strips were repurposed store display lighting.
Silly me, I was just going to hang a penlight by the dash.Did a couple cool things this week, I added dashboard lights because I couldn't see the original lights in the dark. The pic makes it look like they're too bright. But driving in the dark, I can see all the gauges perfectly and still not have any residual glare. And I had to do a furniture move today for my mother in law. One trip , everything fit in the truck great
WOW - What a great idea! It would even be battlefield ready or extra-vehicular activities like inspections or repairs along a desolate trail or in the wilderness.Silly me, I was just going to hang a penlight by the dash.
I haven't installed Swampdonkey's lights, but I have read the thread. While SD's solution looks great, the only other pics in the thread don't appear to show the same results and this has made me reconsider his solution. The lenses are clear, from the Humvee and longer I believe. The point being that the light can spread out further away from the dash.I read the threads on the light kits by swampdonkey but have some questions. There is a lot said about the lenses and I see they are longer. Do these lenses fit into the back of the gauges, not only the dash indicator lights? They must.
