baddad Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 thanks guys - do the needles light up red ok in the dark if you use the red pen permanent "sharpie" marker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimzimmer46 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Yeah they do but only do 2-3 coats I did 6 lol for a deep red but they still light up quite well :-) Run the pen without stopping or you'll get lines. And becarful u don't break the glass pixel screens like i did lol replaced them now tho :-) Edited July 6, 2012 by zimzimmer46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnect for safety - you will need to reset the mpg and clock but thats all - I live in Cannock area so you might see me about in the vert?

baddad Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Will do, what colour you got mate I'll keep a look out, have you a thread on it? light gold - as in my profile pic - I don't have a thread - my next project is to upgrade my really ancient 4:3 ratio heada unit monitor cos the tv was analogue and my headrest screens don't work. Fancy tha Andrive but its too pricey - old E46 radio/tape stuff dosn't seem to sell well on ebay at moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHL Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Great guide, nice and easy to follow. Thank you for you efforts. Is this how you change the bulbs for the cluster as well? I want to put white inside or maybe mix it up abit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellisg93 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think the tamper dot comes up if the milages on the main ecu and the gauge cluster don't match up correctly I took mine out and did the above mods and don't have the dot This. Also if the VIN encoded into the clocks doesn't match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
