Tom if you have some free time I know where there is a coach just like yours that would be very happy to have the same improvement.

If that's not possible how about pictures and part numbers for all the light bulbs etc. that you used.

Sounds nice. Got any pictures?

Sounds great Tom, I also would like to see some pictures. I have two of my three done, left and center, the right one is full custom because I am mounting my ham radios just above the A/C outlet. Would like to see how you handled the panel junctions.

I did the middle panel, that holds the HVAC radio and moved the spot light controls there a long time ago but will redo that because I have more to add. Found a real nice back lite clock that somewhat matches the VDO gauges.

Your LED mods sound fantastic, more info please!!

Thanks

Here are the LED numbers. They were purchased from Superbrightled.com on the web. The speedometer and Tach use BA9s-B4 (blue with 4 led's); the instrument bulbs use BA7s-B (Blue); and the switches use 74-W (White). You can choose other colors on their web page.
Here are some pics:

More info:
The panels are 11ga aluminum and I cut the left one into two pieces so I could access the headlight switch or other parts of the wiring without having to disturb the air pressure gauge as that is always in the way and hard to work around. The AV screen is a Pioneer AVH 4000. It allows me to add the backup camera and navigation if I want to and it replaces the dvd player as its output goes to the 26: flat screen I installed last summer. I removed the cruise switches because it didn't work and I will replace it with a stalk mounted electronic one. I left enough room for the Tom Tom to be stuck to the dash on trips and moved the power lighter under the dash to hide it. I found at least seven clipped wires of various colors which I think came with the Gillig chassis and were not used. They add confusion to the rework.
Hope this helps
Tom

Nice work, Tom.
