The first EVER Bronco DIY Painted Starlight Dashboard (aka Dopamine Dashboard)

[Squatch]

Great work and write up! My wife keeps telling me to document all the random stuff I do but taking the time to setup a camera or take photos doesn't cross my mind. Kudos to you!

Side note, anyone know the part Number for the stitched dash? My 22 has the cheap plastic and I would happily change it.

Just note that this is for a Badlands so it will have orange stitching.

Under $400 for the stitched panel? Hmmmm.

While I'm not a fan of this look personally, I must tip my had to your creativity and the effort. Very well done.

And I MUST see photos and video of the final look with the lights working.

Wow, that's pretty neat. Need a video of the full thing with the lights going!

Dope! This appeals to my childlike sense of space fanaticism

If you really wanted to get crazy you could have drilled the holes in a pattern that matches actual constellations. Or did you?

Oh I did - just one. The "sentimental" part is I did the constellation Lyra, which has Vega in it- the name of my previous Bronco.

Who needs drugs when you have the ADHD?! Oh wait... I am on meds and this is still how I am.

According to some leading experts, ADHD/ADD is considered a superpower! Awesome job and write-up. Can't wait to see the finished product. Now Focus and get it done already!

Hi friends!
Over on Instagram (I.Vegabond), I have been documenting my journey in creating the first ever Bronco Starlight Dashboard - what I am also calling the "Dopamine Dashboard".

This started because I have the @ORACLE Lighting Universal Starlight Kit. Oracle uses it in the wheel liners, but my ADHD refuses to let me be anything but extra. After getting my 2024 Ford Bronco and not loving the stitched dashboard (unpopular, I know) - my friend Jason offered to swap me and the chaos began.

Please enjoy the chaotic recap below of the journey so far. The goal is to get the fibers run this weekend and finally be done! I will have a complete video for YouTube once I'm done also.

Enjoy!
