Hey Phee I'm gonna send you my 6mt guages so you can hook it up for me. I gotta leave the island again so I figure by the time I get back I should get them back and be able to finish my swap.

But um on my guages put yellow leds from 5k to 7k rpm, and put in blue from 2k to 5k. Also for the speedometer part put in all blue. The rest is hot how you got it. I think that I got bulbs still that I can send with the cluster.

Can't we use the existing power and have normal function?

if my harness wasnt damaged i wouldve wired it into the dimmer so that they can have full light output adjustability

ok. i can do that for you. but u might have to calibrate your needles yourself because i dont have a type-s. ill calibrate tach, speedo, fuel, but you need to put in your temp needle once the car warms up because the type-s and tl-p temp guages are different so i cant calibrate using my car

tap into this trace with a wire and solder a voltage controlled switch when a certain voltage arises you get RED TACH FO V TAK!!!
But how would you get the white light to go off or do you think it wouldnt matter?

u can use a crossover swtch. it decides where to send the power. if its going to one source, the other one turns off.

I would love to do this to mine. I've been reading what everyone has had to say but I'm way to scared I'd mess it up some how. Some day though...I might grow the balls to give it a shot, or find a friend that is pretty good with this stuff to help.
Looks great though, good job guys. Super jealous.
