Panel Illumination
Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2020 2:21 pm
Riders,
My 2008 FJR is doing fine by me. If I could change one thing, though, I would want something like a back-panel illumination behind the LCD information panel. It is hard to read in certain light conditions. A glowing sheet of microscopic LEDs would be okay, in whatever way that can be done, under the LCDs. Alternately, for you aircraft types, I have found 12Vdc LED eyebrow lights, sold as license plate illumination bolts, that could provide light from above the panel. I think two of them would be enough, and I may even have to dim them a bit with some tinted tape. I'd rather not be drilling into the panel, though, if there is a better plan out there. Maybe I am missing something, so any suggestions would be welcome.
