Only issues are - the red led's are too bright (6500mcd) - the red becomes more of a pink - some of the red spills over into the temperature It works ok but I think i need to still keep working on it. You could tone down the brightness by adding more resistance to the red leds. Currently you would have approximently a 550-650ohm resistor holding back the voltage?? A higher resistance would fade it a bit. I would personally add a 500-600ohm resistor plus a 500ohm variable resistor so you could adjust it if the first calc was wrong. It would be tight and tricky but possible. Just a theory.

screws take like 2 seconds to put back in. But once you have the screws out its pulling dash foward with out ripping the front casing off instead. I unfortunatly broke two pins that hold the front cover on.
Is there another better way then using the keys.... i lost one behind my dash and can't get my dash out again

this is prolly the easiest option get some needles from a wrecker, get some fluro paint see how it turns out |
