He seems to really know his stuff and is well into electronic gizmo's as you'll see if you ever see his dash!

 

 

Thanks for the nice words Scott.. :thumbs: :thumbs:

yeah that would be good, can do it sometime next week if you like apart from Monday or Wednesday night. Then can determine if i can match the colour.

 

"hmm blue illumination does take my fancy i must admit Il be droppin u a pm 'supra TT myster' "

so how would you like the dash to look then behind the speed and rpm dials?? Just the same, i.e white then blue when lights swithced on?? Is it a dark blue colour at night then??

 

ideally, i would like the dash gauges et al to be the same as the defis but something close would suffice i wager. the colour at night is not dark but a light to mid bluesy .... if that helps at all. if cj has the same series gauges (defi b/f), then you can get a first hand look ? thanks ... :)

Ok, here are some figures if anyone is interested.

 

1. Full Blue Kit which will change the following.

 

:- All dials behind the gauge cluster.

:- All back lights behind heater control panel

:- All the lights behind the heater control panel

:- The conversinon for the clock and mileage metre

:- Trac Control, Active spoiler, heated seat Switches

:- Backlight behind the auto box.

:- Backlight behind the key insert + Cig Lighter.

 

Total for just the kit and full install instuctions is £75.

Total for the Kit and be fitted by myself is £150.

 

There is alot of soldering and care to be taken if installing this by yourselves. Rough timescale of install is anywhere between 3-5hrs, depending on how competant you are :p

 

 

 

2. Full Gauge Cluster Kit which will include the following.

 

:- All dials behind the gauge cluster.

:- Backlight behind the key insert + Cig Lighter.

:- The conversinon for the clock and mileage metre

 

Total for just the kit and full install instuctions is £25

Total for the Kit and be fitted by myself is £45

 

There is a bit of soldering and care to be taken if installing this by yourselves. Rough timescale of install is anywhere between 1.5-2.5hrs, depending on how competant you are :p

 

 

 

 

3. Full Heater Panel Kit which will include the following.

 

:- All back lights behind heater control panel

:- All the lights behind the heater control panel

 

Total for just the kit and full install instuctions is £35

Total for the Kit and be fitted by myself is £65

 

There is a bit of soldering and care to be taken if installing this by yourselves, also very fiddly, Rough timescale of install is anywhere between 1.5-2.5hrs, depending on how competant you are :p

 

 

 

Half Kit for Heater Panel.

 

:- All the lights behind the heater control panel i.e, indicators.

 

Total for just the kit and full install instuctions is £15

Total for the Kit and be fitted by myself is £40

 

There is a bit of soldering and care to be taken if installing this by yourselves, Rough timescale of install is anywhere between 1.5-2.5hrs, depending on how competant you are :p

 

 

4. Or any other combo you would like just pm me for a price.

 

i hope these prices are not unreasonable as alot of work is involved for the instructions and installation, there are about 25 blue LEDs to install for the whole kit which are not that cheap!

 

Included a couple of pics from the dials, not that good a qualitly in pic but gives you an idea of how it looks.

 

Also for those who have defi gauges that would like a kit, i will be looking into this and posting here if i can match it or not.. It will be the same prices though.

I can but i just need to see what they look like from the inside, is it just the extra dials around the gauge cluster that is different.

 

Yes, the only other thing I can think of is the the trac button is split into two (OFF/SNOW). I can go take some pics of my dash if it would help?

Will be posting up a complete pic of what it looks like hopefully later today or tomorrow, as for the needles i am in the process of taking my cluster out for pictures so will see if i can make it more blue buti am not to sure as they are painted red, the colour in the pic i have posted is with a blue light going into the needle, which comes out that colour, i think the only way would be to have blue needles first or clear needles, or as you say nic them off a golf lol!!

 

let me know if you are interested as i can do it for you no probs.
