Default Face lift (kinda)

I installed an aluminum cover and wired in some flex blue led's to give my jeep sort of a newer modern, look. It greatly improved the look at night and its not so bright, not that it was bright to begin with. It didnt come out too bad I need to add more lights to see the outer corners better and add white faces to complete my build.

I wouldnt add the white face gauges if I were you. I'd keep it like it is just add those lights to it in the corners and thats it. I think the white gauges would make it too bright.

No sadly I did this before I was a member of the forum. When I add more lights I will take pics. It is a lot easier to do than you would think, the hardest part is getting the cluster out.
