hey i have not read all the posts but you wont be able to read some maps that have red by using the red filter on your lights.... in military our topo maps were set up for being used like that for that reason...
LOL to be NVG compatible you need IR filter tape which looks completely black and keeps all visible light from coming through. We modified our A-10 cockpits with it early in the day as NVGs were just coming into the cockpits...
Good look though.....you did a great job.

Still looks sa-weeeet!!

That's edit!! I am thinking the purple is from the green tint built into the gauge cluster.. red & green = purple?

Phil, have you checked into the bulbs for the headlight switch? My backlight on the switch doesn't work, but I haven't hacked into it yet to figure out what I need to get them going again.

Green = Blue and Yellow.
Orange = Red and Yellow
So, red and green equal a shade of purple, with wee bit of orange thrown in.

I think it went out when I hooked my gauges up to the wire on the back to get the dimming function. So I haven't had a backlight on that switch for a few years now. But every once in a while on my trip between Plano and Giddings I look at it and wonder if there is a way to fix it....short of shelling out for the new gauge.
