jassi_hayre Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi guys, Bought some glow dials of ebay a while back. Wnated to connect them up but a little confused. The pack has the dials with connectors a power adaptor which plugs into 12+ and - but they also have a very then strip with a push on/off button at the end (connection for this on power adaptor). I thought the power adaptor would be wired to a wire which provides a positive feed when the lights are switched on? (this is what I want) I don't understand the on/off button. Do I have to wire this up? Sorry cant provide pictures as camera was stolen Thanks Jas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have some glow dials in my supra too mate and they are rubbish, they are for a LHD, the guy who owned the car before me fitted them as he couldnt find ones for the RHD That button is basically just to turn up/down brightness (i think) Have this in mine too and it does absolutely fuk all hahahaha Glow dials come on when i turn on the lights the little sticker on front of the dial fell off by the way lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jassi_hayre Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Just realised I have the same dials i.e. fuel and temp wrong way round! See picture below I might still fit the rev and speedo but my dials don't have adjustable colour just a strip with an on of button!

jassi_hayre Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 So how do the dials get powered? do you have to press a seperate switch? Also, I cannot see how the dials get wired as the instrument cluster is a closed unit so how do the wires attached to the dials get routed to the power adaptor that comes with them? I assume the power adaptor must get positioned behind the instrument cluster? Can anyone who has done this offer any help. Unfortunately the dials did not come with any instructions and having spent good money on these i'm relectunt to buy other ones and don't want to leave these lying around!

liam1 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 here is a few pics of mine a friend fitted them for me the switch on mine changes the colour from blue to green and controls the brightness all the dials are for a rhd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jassi_hayre Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Look nice, but doesnt really help my dilema unless you take your nice dash apart and picture how they are wired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
