heckler Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Will there be a "fitment" guide along with this for complete newbs? I bought a set of the El-Glo and havnt installed them yet as I dont know how (couldnt get the cluster out to start with). I'm sure I could knock one up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS2004 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Would be good! I already have two sets of dials sat here that I havnt done anything with yet, as I get half the dash out, then end up stumped as to how to get the rest out - despite reading the guides lol.

bigbloodyturbo Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 when you get the switchable ones done can I have them changing colour from red to blue with a switch as opposed to rpm as I have blue dashlights now but i'm swaying towards red again, i change my mind like the weather! Would save a lot of work and money if I conly had to worry about changing the heater controls instead of those and the speedo cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauron Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Right, following on from this thread... http://www.internetwork.org.uk/random/pcb.JPG I am now offering them for sale in pretty much any colour you want. Also, following that thread I should have in a week or so a setup that will change the colour of the dash lights when you hit the red line, or any other RPM you desire. For the Plain/Fixed Colour PCB's and LED's, these will be £85 inc post. I just need to figure out a price for the other. Fancy a set of these.Bought my car with full dash blue LEDconversions but main clocks are just too dim.Would like a set of Blue-Red please.PM me when you are sorted.

jackso11 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 If you have metal monkey dials the standard bulbs seem to work loads better than LED's in the standard holes. Rubbish though because they don't give as white light so the dials are not as bright blue through the backing plastic. I hope these will solve the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 how do you drive ? so many lights and dials:blink: What do you mean? I only have 3 gauges more than a stock TT. Granted they are a different colour but that shouldn't really make a difference lol. Surely you have an AFR, Boost & EGT gauge too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope these will solve the problem Not really sure what "Monkey Dials" are to be perfectly honest.All i know is that it has TRD on the speedo clock if that helps.Are you suggesting i just replace with standard bulbs.I guess this will just give me white light as opposed to the blue like the rest of my dash?

heckler Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 PCB for "dual" colour made, just need populating, and had to do "version 2" of the control PCB's... (ALWAYS double & tripple check the design - oops!) These "should" be done tomorrow.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I'll be interested too. I'm no mechanic so would there be a guide in installing them? I know how to take the dash out and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Right, now have a working version of the Dual Colour PCB's with the control circuit which allows to switch between two colours, and can take a input such as the Red Line to trigger a colour change.

heckler Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 Now, all I need is my car or a set of spare cluster to test on! Riight, have had a set in my gauges to make sure they fit, and the Dual colour works as advertised - can either use as a staight dual colour red/blue or what ever, or what ever colour you want plus the "red line" which will change the dash colours to red once you hit the "red line" or whatever you have set (as its adjustable). Now, prices... The Dial PCB's are the same for either at £85, for the staight "dual colour" version add £20, for the "Red Line" version add £40 If anyone is interested or any question please PM me. Please bear in mind - these are all made to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
