DiPricol 3 gauge night time view

[tjm]

Thought some of you would like to see my dashpod at night. Going from Left to Right

PRICOL OPTIX - 2" FULL-SWEEP TEMP GAUGE 100°-280°
PRICOL OPTIX - 2" BOOST GAUGE 0-60 PSI
PRICOL OPTIX - 2" TEMPERATURE GAUGE 100°-280°

I bought the Pricol wiring harness with the LED dimmers. I replaced the 3 dimmer pots with one pot that I have located next to the Engine Hood release lever. So in this pic all LED's are setup exactly the same. Notice the rear diff appears dimmer - I cant even read the numbers. Thats because its not a full sweep gauge, theres less light to shine through the face. I replaced the rear diff with another full sweep transmission gauge and now all 3 look pretty close. I also added a boost gauge to the pillar using the SRT replacement pillar.

Pyro : post turbo because I have plenty of HP and Torque
transmission Temp : using the ACU Temp Adapter from Geno's
Rear Diff : MAG-HYTEC - REAR AA11. 5 DIFFERENTIAL COVER

My partial sweep trans temp gauge doesn't light up much either. About as dim as Billary or Osama Obama.

Right, well I guess that Heir Bush would rank right up there with the darkest, black of night that I ever experienced in the forests of Quantico Va in Marine Corps Officer's Candidate School...



It was so dark, I couldn't see my hand 2 inches in front of my face...



Don't even get me started on McCain...

Oh man good burn! At least G. W. gives us something to laugh about on the Late Shows.

This should scare the crap out of you.

After your done digesting that try this:
Hoover Institution - Facts on Policy - U. S. Savings Rate

now try to understand why the Fed is printing dollars like there is no tomorrow. And foreign states are unloading the greenback

Do you think Obama, Clinton, or McCain have a solution? Does anyone in Washington?

 

[BILLUA]

Sir, I agree 100 percent with you!



What this country needs is a revolution



cheers, Bill

I am going to hook up my guages tonight and need to know where to tap into the lights so I have dim function. Anybody got that info off hand?

search for a thread NAVYDOOD did a while back, has lots of good picks. My 08 is slightly different but was able to find it with test light. It's one of the 3 orange wires w/black tracer.

here is the picture of the dimmer wire from the thread I mentioned.

light source

I searched the entire 3rd gen section to find a place to power the LEDS. Basically I wanted the LEDS to only illuminate when the parking lights were on and I didn't want to use the dash dimmer because it has discrete steps. This post https://www.turbodieselregister.com...ons/168482-non-dimming-12v-source-gauges.html

shows a picture. Its the 2 wire connector in the center. MartyK posted the pic. I also used NavyDood as a reference.
