so i ordered some plasma gauges from Germany that are in km/h and C instead of F... here is a picture. going to take some pictures while im doing this.
but here is all that you will need to do this, plus a soldering pencil :-)

Actually speaking to that company to get 50 US sets ordered to be in MPH and F.

Hopefully get a group buy =D

Still waiting for a precise quote.


Have any final pictures?

MPH would be cool, but for the temperature and fuel, i like the euro stile. also i dont think all of our speedometer stop/go up to 160mph/260kmh but i could be wrong and also are all of them made by VDO? no, im in process of trying to split the glass from the plastic housing as we speak... and i just burned the crap out of my fingers :-(

here are some pix with the rings installed and stock gauges. by the way, the rings are a ROYAL pain in the (_!_)!!! be really careful when trying to split the glass, i tried using a hair drier to hear up the plastic so it would separate esyer, but still cracked in in a few places. so i think Monday it will be a trip to a junkyard looking for a new housing with glass.

iProDrive

why didn't you install the gauges?

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

that was just so ppl can c how just the rings look without the gauges... im in process of guiding the wires and cuting holes in the instrument cluster housing...
to be continued

any idea to what wire i should hook up the controller to? :-?

iProDrive

Assuming it is going to need a power & a ground.

black = ground
red = ignition wire (power when the car is on).

I will be sure to make a write-up when I get mine.

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

I'm trying to find a way to set it up so it kicks on with the lights... i will do a brief wright up on it when i get it all figured out :-)

CRAZY_RUSSIAN

anyone got a wiring diagram for the cluster? i cant figure it out, tried using the radio wiring (the constant +/- and the one that works as a dimer switch, that dosnt work) tried using the dimer switch on the instrument cluster, that also dosnt work.... GGGGRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............
help anyone?
