    Hey blake,

    I got my dials in - thanks for sending em up!!

    They are green as anything - however we wired them to the dimmer switch - heh i was slack an those wires were easier to get to - but they work fine - if you don't plug the dimmer back into the roller switch when you put all the facia back in.

    If you do plug the little wiring harness back in i lose the dials lighting up - they will flash on when you first turn on the lights for about .2 of a second but if i don't plug it in - which is currently what i have (or havent done) then i lose all of the centre console lights - the aircon nobs and buckles etc.

    therefore i will have to find another headlight wire - does anybody know what colour the park lights wire is at the back of the instrument cluster - the one blake holds in the photo of the tech article for installing the dials - all i wanna do is when i have the headlights on i have the dash lights on as well - like normal!! but blake - you said it is different from the tech article you wrote to my car - i have a TH and i know i can find it with a test light - but i am slack - any takers wanna help or do i have to get the test light out to check??

    very green!!! i think i might need to make it a little less bright - looks funky when you open the door and you can see the instrument cluster, under feet neon glow and under car neon glow at the same angle!!! very alien green!!

    Currently my neons include:
    1 x Green 12" under drivers side foot well
    2 x Green LED windscreen washer jet lights
    1 x Green Luminous Dials Set
    1 x Green Under car neon kit!!

    I want another interior one - and i also need to fix my under car ones - they are slowing dying - but have had them for over 6 months and it was worth it all the way!!! I have even taken the car on gravel and have had no issue with breakage - since i have installed them i have travelled over 10000km's with no breakage in the tubes.

    Wikkid Manual, Glad you like em. Told you they would be green

    Im experimenting with the Blue LEDs again and im having a ****er of a time... Im thiking about putting some blue flexiglow behind the cluster or a small neon.

    As for the wire you mention, howcome your a/c control lights die? Very odd. I'll most probobly be pulling my cluster out again so i'll have a look what wire it is again.

    However when you hold your wiring harness plug up i know if you stick the you wires in the far left sockets that work (I know that makes no sense). If your still stuck how bout running a wire from your parkers in you headlights. Just an idea. More work though.

    if i hit the neons on bups with it lowered it means i have ripped the sideskirs out - cos the tubes sit higher under the car then what the sideskirts do so i shouldn't have to worry about that - and they aer a fair way off the ground anyways. you will see soon enough!!

    Hey Blake,

    that is where i have them wired currently - in the left hand ones - the black and the yellow and black - they work fine unless the wiring harness is plugged into the dial tuner - then the dash doesnt display but the centre console does - because te dimmer affects the centre console as well - because i havent plugged it in when i have the headlights on the circuit isn't completed to the centre console - but when i do complete the circuit - i don't have the display light up - i will fiddle with it on the weekend - i will make it work!!!

    the kit was just over $200 and it comes with all you need to fit it - all the clamps and screws, switch and wiring - everything!!

    the avatar is a bit screwed up - i don't know why they turned out so bright - they arent actually that bright - but the camera we took the pics with was a shitty old one!!

    but if all goes to plan you should be able to see mine in the next couple of weeks.

    if you want a hand installing - i am more then willing to help!! It will have a better effect if the car is lowered cos the light is closer to the ground so the colour will be stronger!!
