Clock Swaps

opps!!

well the way i looked at it was that the new gauges used the original bulb holders for the feed for the led's so i assumed you couldn't use both? i may be wrong but thats kind of how it seems.

Not sure where they get their power from. Im kinda expecting that i will need to get the old soldering iron out and take a feed from the headlight switch.

Hmm i may have spotted a problem. In the picture for the dials i noticed that the bottom mileage counter is off set to the right where my 160mph clocks are dead centre.


It looks like they are off set on the 140mph clocks



But can you get the 140mph clocks with 2 plug's ? ? ?

hi. I was looking at  these on ebay and came looking for someone with them fitted, anyone got some pics ?  looking at the ebay ad it say's -

" ****  VERY IMPORTANT:  You DO NOT need to remove Gauge Dial Needles at anytime when installing.  Removing needles will cause your instrument cluster to malfunction."

How is this possible ? do they come in 2 halfs?
and also if they fit onto exsiting dails how can there be room behind for the electrical connector that looks to be at the back of each dial, they wouldn't sit flush?!?.
They work off AC current rather than DC from the car so thats why the inverter is used so the 12V DC coulb be taken off the headlight switch.
How is the brightness controlled ? in built dimmer or wiredto the one above the headlight switch ? ( my dimmer doesn't seem to work)

If anyone has these pics and a post would be cool

I think your supposed to slide the needle of your dials through the centre hole which does look big enough, then push down into place. The wire connectors are on the very edge so would not be seen i hope. As for the brightness if your dimmer worked this would controll it as long as thats where you take the power feed from.
