I tried a similar project last summer, but it ended up the trash because I couldn't solve the LED issue.
I've heard if you put several layers of wax paper behind it it'll work, but I've never tried it. Supposivly the wax paper will defuse the LED's and thus spread them out.

If you were to get metal ones made, you would get VERY thin PETG plastic cut to a circular shape...spray tint it (so you can have the arrows, "check engine", and higbeam signals tinted on)....thats all the current one is doing to disperse light as well


Yea...that is pretty much what I am talking about (figuring out how to properly difuse the light from the LEDs). Keep us updated...I would like to see if your method works or not .
