Plasma dials

Post by daveblueozzie » Sat Jan 01, 2011 4:20 pm

As some of you have seen elsewhere on the pimp section i have fitted some plasma dials. :shock: :D
One dial checks the leisure battery another checks the main starter battery and the third one is just a fancy clock. :oops: :D
Today I fitted a couple of led latching switches that light up blue (well what other colour would i use? #-o )
no need to have the dials on when I'm not there or parked at night.
link to the switches below.

A very quick clip of the gauges powering up, then down... Mine are identical to DBO's except i have a turbo boost gauge instead of a main battery gauge...

Right I need some advice before I go and splurge some cash on some dials.

I've got a mount to hold 3 dials above or below the radio. 3 x 52mm holes

One is going to have a clock, but as my oil pressure light isn't working, I wanted to fit an oil pressure gauge as a precaution. But do I go for a mechanical one or an electronic one?

Then the other one was going to be a water temp gauge, or would an oil temp gauge be better?

Recommendations please?
