Ossum_Jeep_Instruments_backlight

I want more realism at the Ossum Jeep by 3danarchy? For the instrument (part number: 2511807), I've created a background lighting system. The inside of the housing is painted white, which amplifies the reflection of the LED, and I've angled the LED to provide indirect illumination, so only the tachometer is lit up initially. A red 3mm LED with a 100 Ohm series resistor powers the illumination. After gluing the LED into the housing and securing it to the instrument cluster behind the cockpit, you can see the result in the attached photos. To ensure a smooth assembly process, I've used Simplify3D to merge the STL files corresponding to the housing, allowing for a precise fit. With these preparations complete, assembling this housing should pose no challenges.
