Pretty simple led strip. Hidden when off and right in sight when on.
Thanks for posting that, I have been trying to decide where to put the indicator. I almost did a shift light in my ac vent like I used to do forever ago. I like your idea better.

I’m working on something 1-off myself...just waiting on Amazon to drop off my led chips.

I ordered a couple of short strips and a few chips to play with. I’m not sure which route I will go. It’s always tricky finding the line where it is bright enough to see in the sunlight and not so bright that it blinds you at night.

Too dark for pics of the led installed but it’s flush in the cover I made to hide the gauge mount...right at the top.



I got these single LED’s from Amazon.



Nice and bright at night...I’m sure it’ll be fine in daylight also.

Looks good! You can always add in a switch or potentiometer to dial in the brightness if you wanted.

Really, it's not like the light is on all the time while your driving at night. Only when you're running 7+ psi boost.
Well.. I take that back.. @UNBROKEN may actually be driving full boost all night

Day pics of my led project. Virtually invisible until it lights up.

I went with the area inside the cluster surround and then decided that it was difficult to see in the daylight, so I added the 2 driver’s climate vents too. At night the cluster is easy to see, and during the day the vents are dark enough inside that you can see the illumination in them without looking away from the road.
