Stock Gauges with a little finessing (opinions on the project)

[Whelan]

Should be fairly cheap and easy. I love the stock gauges in the Trix, the white/red looks awesome. But I want to personalize it a bit. Here is what I'm thinking.1) I'm moving the low fuel light a little higher up in the bezel so it can actually be seen when it comes on. It annoys me that I have to lean forward and look down to see it lit.2) I am going to get a small printout of the Matrix logo, place it over the Tach bezel just above the needle, and use an Exacto knife to cut the logo into the gauge backing. Once that is done I can put some red luminecent film behind it and wire it into the gauge lights so that when on, my little logo pops! Should be good, I would do it dead center on the speedo but the kmph is in the way. Stupid Canadians, j/k don't hurt me

LOL yeah I suppose, but I like to see what I can pull out of a tank.

Silly Canadians It's a little amber light located just below the "E". It comes on around a 1/8 of a tank.
