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! :P

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

^^ Sent you a message

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 :bow: 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.

taek 08-15-2005 09:27 PM

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

engifineer 08-16-2005 01:31 AM

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 :P ) 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?

Rivulent 08-16-2005 05:11 PM

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

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..
