W123 Painted Cluster needles and Retrofitted LED's

[Wusha]

Needles used Testors Tangerine Orange and Testors Paint thinner 3:1 ratio. The paint thinner helps avoid brush marks caused by the thick paint.


From left to right:
1)Blue- High Beam
2)Red - Battery
3)Amber - Brake pad wear sensors
4)Red - Parking Brake

Not shown:
5) Amber - Seat belt
6) Amber - Glow Plugs

The prism / fiber optics are both Amber. Also replaced the turn signals, Octopus, and Hazard light switch with Leds.

The cluster small bulb 74's are a ***** because the original bulbs are soldered onto the plastic twist off cap. Had to solder my own wire to the new LED's and solder them to the metal connections that hold the plastic cap to the cluster board.





If anyone has a spare cluster plastic lens/cover, and or the indicator icons...shoot me a PM.
