Ok, maybe not bling but since I used LEDs I'll call it bling anyway :laugh: I decided to put a couple Bluewater LEDs in my Kubota RTV to make up for the lack of lighting from the factory, the only light on the entire dash is the temp gauge....as RTV operators know with factory lighting you have to feel around to find your gear shift, 4 wheel drive lever, and differential lock.
This is a pic of the dash as it comes from the factory (Nevermind the little shine from in front that's just the headlights reflecting off my ultra high quality tarp cover :laughing:
Here's the dash after I put in a couple Bluewater LEDs....I wasn't sure this would work because I'm using these lights for indirect lighting..they are completely under the dash pointing away from the operator
Here's a close up of just the shifting gates with the Bluewaters on
On the plus side the lights even light up my winch switch mounted on the lower dash now :thumbsup:
These LEDs did exactly what I was looking for and they will make night time operation of my buggy much more enjoyable. Although this isn't a normal application for Bluewater LEDs work excellent for it :thumb: (Bluewater LEDs are most popularly used on bass boats...that's where I originally started using them but when I saw how crappy the factory lighting on my RTV was I decided to give em' a shot there too)
