There's more to these little components than meets the eye. ๐
These transparent mouldings are designed to help guide light through instrument pointers, showing how plastic components can do more than just provide structure - they can play a part in how a finished product looks and functions too.
The circular base is designed to sit over a stepper motor or gauge pin and act as a light pipe/prism, catching light from an internal LED beneath the dial to illuminate the needle blade when turned on.
