I'm assuming you don't need to change the globes inside the trip computer to led's?

I'll wait for my query to have a "yes" or "no" answer before I do anything else, or I'll give it a go myself and see if its a "yes" or "no" answer.

I used the ford logo and resized it, printed it in colour and installed it.

You can only see the ford logo through the numbers highlighted as you go through the settings on the trip meter. Any idea's on how to fix this?

i think the colour might not be dark enough??
or the printing paper might be to thick? the paper i used was 80 gsm.
i had a similar issue when i did that..
or the outline might need to darker?

I'm not a huge fan of the blue backlighting, i'm probably the only person that doesn't like it haha! But can you add the LCD graphics and retain the orange backlight?

yea
in my pics the screen looks a little blue because the globes i used are bright led's.
and because the light for the digits comes through the paper the digits change to the colour of the pic.
if you just use plain coloured paper you can also change the digit colour.

as in the one i used i did the wings in a black outline...

this is the first one i did,but i didnt like how the red made the digits look confusing.
