    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Sorry. No magic bulbs. Although I do have a thin sheet of plexiglass... I'll give you a call tomorrow. I need to find the clear warning lenses before I commit. I know I have them, but actually locating things has not gone well for me recently. Labeling boxes is no longer working. An...

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    I have a small quantity of blue in the same style bulb. You could do blue for the wait to start instead of green maybe. All i have is green, blue and red. Blue is just a personal stash. I also have a small personal stash of clear front/clear lenses for warning lights. A true kit with spacers and...

    You'll need 5 for the M939A2 and 2 for the HMMWV.

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    To be honest, my expertise in MVs drops off sharply after M939s, HEMTTs and MRAPs. I have alot of parts knowledge for the last two of those but not much hands on experience. Anything earlier than the M939s is pretty foreign to me except for maybe some parts compatibility. Just not that much...

    Running a Mother's Day Special this week for M939A0/A1 owners. Purchase a 5 light kit from me in any color and receive a free NOS Powersteering Reservior Cap w/ Dipstick. The special ends at 10:00 pm on Sunday 5/21/17. Again, this is only for the M939A0/A1 with the NHC250...

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Something was brought to my attention and I wanted to clarify the point here. It wasn't discussed here before and I'll modify the listing to include the new information. This only pertains to HMMWVs: These lenses that are included in the kits are a HMMWV part. They will be the same length as...

    Back in stock... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?164849-LED-Gauge-Panel-Backlight-Upgrade There is a $1 price increase across the board. Final cost for this batch ended up being more than I was quoted. I'm splitting the increase with you here. The first orders between now and...

    Order for the lenses was placed today. They should be here in 5-10 business days. Once they're here, I'll relist them in the Parts For Sale forum and update here. Thanks for your patience! Won't be long now...

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    I have plenty of Green and Red. The only thing I lack at the moment is the lenses. I talked to my supplier Friday and plan to place an order for more lenses this Tuesday. The price of the lenses went up a little. I'm buying double the quantity that I did the first time to get a better quantity...

    I actually have been considering accepting USPS money orders. It wouldn't be the prefered method, but I could probably swing that on my end for the folks that don't have Paypal. My line of thought was that if a person made the trip to the PO for a money order, they'd just go to the hardware...

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Jbayer is correct about the lens length. If you change the depth of the socket in the dash then it must be compensated for elsewhere. Since the lens screws into the socket, you must compensate at the lens. When I worked all this out, I measured the difference between the standard and long lenses...

    I would love to accept other forms of payment but it all comes down to time for me and nothing else. Basically, Paypal is instant. Money sent...money received...item packaged and placed on the front porch. It all happens in about 10 minutes by printing labels online. Once it's on the porch, the...

    I've got to make some stars align again. It's very busy at work right now and time has been tight at the house. Doing the kits again is a definate thing, but I don't have a definate date yet until things slow down a bit. Bear with me, they'll be back. Everyone's prior purchases and patience is...

    The Red bulbs are in and the ad has been updated. Please be sure to specify color when ordering or Green is what will be sent. Also of note, the bulb manufacturer has changed to colored lenses to meet another customers specification. There is no difference between the colored bulbs and the...

    I'd be interested in your findings since I no longer have the deuce panel I tested them on. I had good results on that panel and am wondering what the difference is. While some of the gauges were slightly darker than the rest, they were all clearly visible. The dimmer gauges were caused by light...

    Did the incandescent bulbs light those dark gauges any better than the LEDs?

    LED Gauge Panel Backlighting Upgrade

    Currently, everything that has been ordered has either shipped or is on the front porch to be picked up Tuesday. I've included a couple extra spacers and screws with each order for the fumble fingers like myself. I lost 7 spacers installing mine. They're in there somewhere. Thank you for the...
