Not seen the above pictures before, they look fantastic

 

[Twelfty]

yh id liek a set of them where were they from?

 

[Andy_Mk3]

Think they're the lockwood white dials with plasma lights or something like that. They look greath though

 

[justg]

That's dash looks the *******s

 

[robbie601]

Not lockwood, off ebay - £35.99. Took a little fitting as they need a cople of wires doing, just an earth and to the lighting dimmer circuit. No needles to remove either.

oh i see, looks damn good though.

what's that bit blacked out under the rev counter?

 

[robbie601]

Blacked = Whited ! Heh It was the link to name of the company that sold them as I don't know whether advertising was permitted - then again I advertise a friends business in my sig so I don't know what I was thinking.

Anyway I have borrowed this link from another thread courtest of KinG^Lee (hope he doesn't mind).

This car may be up for sale in a few months anyway. I'll know in about a month whether I'll be getting a new car so watch this space ....

 

[Lefthooker]

What text is covered up there mate ??

 

[justg]

Its covering “visual performance� which is in bold writing at the bottom rev counter on all the plasma dials they sell.

I've nicked Kinglee's pictures

Looks good, nice idea with the dimming lights and other bits. Wish I had your electrical knowledge, its little things like that that give a car a more sophisticated touch!

 

[Jordan_turbo]

got the same dials in mine, done the nedles red though

how did you set up the total closure on the windows? wana do it on mine

 

[reno]

good work mate, check out the west midlands section in the meets part

 

[robbie601]

Sorry for not coming back recently as I sold the car shortly after I did the dials. (I did my needles in orange too).

Total closure was from here :

http://77.96.230.10/sytemsandsoftwaredevelopment/systems/automotive/How_to/Astra3/Total Closure.htm

Required a timed output providing a live for the windows and an earth for the vectra sunroof motor. A couple of relays did the job.
