Jamie 1 Posted December 13, 2013 Something I've been playing about with. Still needs a little bit of tweaking to get it sitting nicely but I'm pretty happy with it so far Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brunty 10 Posted December 13, 2013 I'm hoping that this answers one of my questions. Aren't they normally illuminated? I was surprised as to how dark that area of the dash is at night, I figured that some bulbs had blown! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 13, 2013 One bulb for the whole unit as standard Brunty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brunty 10 Posted December 13, 2013 Ah, ok - so that image at the top is a bit super illuminated then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Ah, ok - so that image at the top is a bit super illuminated then? It's not oem that's for sure :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brunty 10 Posted December 13, 2013 Hmm. OEM+ My interest is piqued! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 15, 2013 It's EL wire. Gonna have to have a rethink though because I've cut most of the strengthening ribs away from around the middle dial, yet I'm still not happy with how it sits. Stay tuned... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted December 15, 2013 I fitted digital climate control in mine as I got sick of the poor lighting and delicate dials! Doesn't really help though does it! I'll just get my hat... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 15, 2013 Would love to do the climatronic conversion but it's just far too much work. Maybe one day... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt59876 0 Posted December 17, 2013 Is noisy? I have done the el sheet mod on mine and when switched on they make an audible high pitched noise. At first I thought it wa the transformer but after wrapping it in sound deadening I discovered that it is the el sheet making the noise. I assume the wire is flexible enough to form around the dials? Have you used white wire with filters for the colours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 17, 2013 Nope no noise whatsoever. The inverter does make a high pitched noise but where I've located it you barely hear it and not at all when the engines running. The wires flexible enough but it doesn't sit flush enough round the centre dial for my taste. My mate said he couldn't see the difference but I can so it will always be gnawing away. So I'm having a rethink at the minute but I'll get there. I used lime green, navy blue and red wires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted December 17, 2013 Funnily enough I ordered some of these early last week. eBay Chinese affairs but thought I'd see how it looks first. How did you attach them? I'm thinking glue gun on the back of the dial faces........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 19, 2013 Yep hot glue gun is how I done mine Sean. Let us know how you get on :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
