You can get some at Radio Shack ;)

Alan added a few nice dash and display emmitters in one of the recent library releases. I think it was the October library ???
Anyway, one is a pretty spiffy "Star Trek" grid of flashing lights.

I used it, (and a couple other emmitters from that set) for this shot:

Have fun.

I did but my local Rados Shack was out of the color I wanted.They said try again next year.
Your dash is very close to what I want to do.I used a number of the emmitters from the Panel Disply.I also need some small L.E.D looking emmitters.

Thank You
Don

Just another thought on doing this as a practicle (in camera effect)...
Get a toy that has lots of flashing LEDs. (Baby toys are often great for this)
Start up the toy's flashing sequence in a dark room and tape it with your video camera.

Now you can size position and layer that video onto your dashboard using Addative compositing. If the color is not right, just make the clip monochrome and apply whatever color you like.

Just a thought, anyway.
Have fun.
