Default The display turns red when you get an over-boost alarm, so I figured it ...

must be possible to force this colour somehow ?

Default I don't have the DTT...but I have the FATT and they only time i see red is when it counts down...

I wanted it to be red all the time too...but couldn't figure out a way to make it happen easily.

Default I'm guessing that you will need to force a pin live on the connector on the back of the display..

.. anyone got a wiring diagram ?

if they are single Red/Green LEDs where the current direction determines color, just reverse them

Default I poked around in there bit, if you could figure out how to reverse...

the LED drivers it could be done. I'm not much with a soldering iron though so I never screwed with it.

Nice one ! I will check tonight - The lLEDs are for the background colour on an LCD display.

Default Related question: is the amber colour similar to the Audi red ?

If not then has anyone tried the new DTT x-type from blitz, as that has a selectable colour display in green, amber and red ?
