Let there be light!!! Coming along nicely, love the gauge panel by the way. Did you make it or have it made?
The dash gauges are fully functional and working now. The LED lights look bluish in the picture, but they are a pure white. The tach and speedo are a little dim, so I ordered some brighter bulbs to hopefully bring up the brightness a bit. The picture does make them seem brighter than they actually are. I'm happy with the way they look.
The check engine light is functional as is the oil light. The PLX oil pressure sender has a built-in low pressure sensor. When the pressure hits 11.4 psi, it grounds the circuit out to illuminate the light. Pretty nifty.
I also got the heater controls working. That was real easy to do using the factory wiring. The circuit is basically isolated and I just needed to splice into the 12V and ground to make it work.
Most of the wiring is done. Here's what's left (as far as I can remember right now):
-trunk popper
-fuel door popper
-line lock
-interior lighting
-fog lights (relay is wired up already)
-fuel pressure regulator
-boost controller
-power mirrors
-power doors and windows (can't do this until I get the doors back from the painter)
-sound system (this will be the very last thing to wire)
Hah! It seems that just about all manufacturers are doing the digital/LCD display between the tach and speedo these days. From Audi to Ford, they all have it. I like it a lot. I had a gf with an A4 and I loved how it displayed the speed as a readout in the middle.
