Postby belfastman » Fri Oct 19, 2007 1:41 pm

with dimmer switch to brighten or lower dial lights,as there is a bit of wiring with it,is it hard to do yourself?.

Well going by the web site they do group buy's i'm sure if you got enough numbers together they would do sets of 180kph dials

Will still have the same scale as the km/h dials so just cover the "mph" with a "kmh" sticker.

well folks my mate sorted my new dials,the look brillant at night,make 100% improvement in interior................if you have standard dials in car,get them changed,it looks fantastic..............only problem is my indictors are not working after the wiring up,checked fuses ok,any ideas?....from back off dashboard i took out a few bulbs,would it be two of those that are concetted to dash lights?.

make sure you plugged the hazard light switch back in from when you fitted the centre dials. The indicators won't work unless the hazard switch is plugged in.

the mph readout will work properly if you get one of those speedo conversion plug ins that reduce your speedo readout and odometer increase
