out of interest what\'s the lights on the steering wheel shroud or wotever it\'s called?
Also why have you got an illuminated number plate right in the drivers line of sight???? OHHHHHHHH it\'s another car (http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/cwm/cwm/uhoh3.gif) lol
Hmmm i like all the lights, presume some of them you can dim or change the illumination level when as Gurj says at night you would get a bit blinded/distracted, may just be how extreme it looks on pikky mind....

:D Yeah the centre two pods have come out a lot brighter in the pic :)  i can dim the dials but not the guages, well i dont think so anyways, have made a few longs trip and has been ok so far :)

The bit on top of steering wheel errr, bit is a control unit for the two gauges, peak hold, warning, etc

Quotewas it difficult to fit the gauges?

I chickened out and got a garage to do it, i dont really like getting too hands on with this car in case I mess things up :D  They had the dash out to install the dials so was prob a little easier to do all the wiring,at least to the control unit anyways

Cheers guys :)  Camera im using is a Nokia 6600 camera-phone, which is why theyre so tiny, they come out at 640x480 but to sharpen \'em up its best to make them a bit smaller.

I got them on a group buy so not sure where he got them from, think it was on ebay, but they do sell something similar (maybe the same)

here (http://www.procarparts.com/store-list2.asp?currentPage=1&Action=GotoPage&GotoPage=2&makerID=20&modelID=120&year=1994&cat=&sub=)

If i remember rightly they tell you to to remove existing bulbs, but i left mine in hence the red needles still :)  if you removed the bulbs you would just get the blue numbers, but prob wouldnt be able to see the needles:D
