[AMC-List] My leds

[Mark Price <markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Picked up 10, 10mm blue leds for my dash light conversion.
My plan is to graft these prewired and resistorized into the Autometer gauges 194 bulb sockets.

I was going to just buy some 10mm leds and do the resistors and such myself, but doing the math and the soldering seemed to much like work, Anyway I'm anxious to see how this works out. I noticed they are fairly tight angle leds so I plan on scuffing one with 150-180 grit sandpaper to diffuse it then check it's pattern to see if it helps.
I only need 6 for the gauges. Buying 10 allows me some matched spares and I'll be able to experiment with the finish if needed.

My last remaining issue is indicator lights. I'd like to do a panel with 5 leds, 2 turn, 1 oil, 1 check engine, 1 high beam. I'm at a loss for where to mount said panel and where to source it from?  The only ones I've found online are fairly ugly and only cover turn signals and high beam applications!

Anyone out there want to make up a nice little aluminum billet piece to hold 5 leds in 3mm or 5mm diameter?!!! I'm guessing I'm going to be on my own on this one. I'll have to start by finding a small chunk of aluminum and drill and whittle away!
