Why isn't this a sticky

 

Looks like 3 220ohm and 3 680ohm, all 6 at 1/16 watt.

 

Good job NOT cracking the clock LCD!

So how much would it cost me to have you do this to my car next?

 

^^ Sent you a message

 

Got the pm. Thanks for the qucik response.

 

same question....

 

pm sent as well! For those interested you can also inquire at engifineer@hotmail.com.

 

I just made a small correction in my post. I realized this morning that I mistakenly (in my tired state) typed that wrong. I used 1/4 watt resistors. 1/16th Watt is the minimum size that can be used, but 1/8th is probably easier to find. The original post is now corrected.

 

Engifineer, you are my f***ing hero I now have a project to do as soon as I get back from my honeymoon. This is some top notch work, you are a true professional.

 

if i pay you like 50 bucks. will you do it for me?

Thanks for the good words! Let me know if you have any questions during it. I noticed today (I leave my lights on quite a bit since they have the auto off feature ) that they look crazy during dusk hours! They get more light from the sun (not shadowed like the gauges) and have a cool color to them. Anyway, I promised a couple that I would list out the parts needed, so:

You should be able to find all of these at Radio Shack or a similar store.
3 680 Ohm (Blue, Grey, Brown) resistors at least 1/16th watt, but 1/8th or 1/4 are easier to find.
3 220 Ohm (Red, Red, Brown) resistors same rating as above
1 - 1K ohm resistor
1- 560 Ohm resistor
Small hookup wire
Soldering Iron 20W
Small 60/40, 65/35 or similar solder
Small solder wick
Tweezers or needle nose
Small end cutters
Phillips screwdriver (#2 works well)
Needle nose (cover with a cloth) to remove dial

That should get you everything I think!

You could probably use 570 Ohm resistors without concern of overloading the supply, but the 680s looked great so I stuck with them.

 

how much do those resistors go for? How much would it cost for you to do it for me with the gauge cluster?

 

Just bought the resistors. 99 cents for a set of 5. I forgot hook up wire though, back I go

 

for some reason that made me lol when i read it

 

thank you!

 

i can't find 1/4 watt 680 ohm resistors. where did u buy them?

 

You can use 1/8th, 1/4, 1/2 and up.. they just get bigger. 1/4 is the most common ones sold at radio shack, so they should have them..

 

hmm iono how aobut u demand it from your dealer? you dumbass

 

oh fvck off lol. i got my refund so i'm happy.
