Hey Gang-

I was curious if anyone has figured out a way to put a viewing light in the Aiguide 725 Speedo(I think that's the model #)? I have two original ones on my 78'SN and it would be sweet to see them @ night. I'm no electrical wizard so ideas on hooking them up would also be a help.

Thanks-
NM

Mike, This is a post over on "the" site about converting gauge lighting to LED's. Its interesting but don't think it will help you much. The gauge really needs to be designed and build to be lighted to start. Back lighting is done with a semi-transparent face. Front lighting needs the light source to come out around the perimeter of the face but then be reflected back onto the face by a reflective surface usually behind the benzel.

What do you want to do? Some night skiing?
