PureRage Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 items used: x-mas mini led lights! (less than 1 euro... lol)old 12v transformer (set to 3v that the lights use)piece of plexiglasswhite spraypaint i copied the form of the dash dials on the plexiglass.sprayed the back whitedrilled holes around the edge (just outside of the visible ring on the dial) soldered the 12v - 3v transformer to the back of the dash on the + and - of a dash light fitting scanned the orignal dials onto my pc. edited them to my liking and printed them on transparant overhead viewer paper.cut them out and placed them on top of the white dial cut outs. i removed the stock coolant temp gauge and placed my wideband sensor behind the plexiglass. it's ideal to see the wideband readout right next to the rev meter! and i used a blue marker to make the needles blue (quick/cheap/easy) and for a bit of laughter: total costs of this was about 6 euro's1 euro for the lights2 euro's for the voltage transformer2 euro's for a small piece of plexiglass (used about 10% of it lol)1 euro for the transparant overhead paper end result!
