VVT Lighting

[RevolutionStarlet89]

Ok, so im wanting to put a vvt light on my dash sum wea in my ae 101 levin and i noticed upon further inspection i noticed there is a light down the bottom of the rev counter that I assume is for supercharged levins? So i went the next step n took the dial unit out and saw all the tracks n sht.. wantin to no if puttin power on the tracks will fuk something out??? or any other good ideas on wea to put a vvt light??

normally the light for supercharger is just above the needle, in not GTZ's theres space where you can drill a hole and mount a LED, then just run the wires out the side of the cluster.

if i understand correct..... can u not just sit the led in the hole the tracks lead to and no touch the dash cluster? could be must less hassle

Yeh but what i was thinking was if theres power there already why isnt the light going?? unles it has something to do with the ECU, and my other prob is i dont want to be feeding more power in to the dash cluster incase bad things hapen and it all fuks out

wat he wants to do is try to use the bulb that is already in that hole, not an led. and he would like to know what would happen if the 12v (with a resistor) that he feeds to it will have any adverse effects if it touches those tracks on the back of the speedo......

BINGO

[Mr Revhead]

why do you want a VVT light?

[RevolutionStarlet89]

Why not???Its something to do is it not?

Better yet, put a switch on 5th so when u change to 5th an OD light comes on :O

You could also rig up a pressure sensor so when you hit a vac of ~14"mg a eco light comes on, that'd be cool, Could have a light for when u press the acclerator, OMG u could have lights for when ur suspension travelled too!

dnt get 2 carried awae

[Mr Revhead]

hehe

yeahs its kind of pointless. and the light will piss u off flashing on the dash!

[RevolutionStarlet89]

Each to their own i suppose

[postfach]

meh, its his car, let him do what he wants with it, if he doesn't like the light, he can always take it out... if you've followed the tracks you should know which wires they go to. find out what those wires are, one of them should be an earth already. if there is no wire, then its probably safe to assume that powering the track will not harm any other part of the dash since its not connected to anything else? failing that, you could just run wires to the light itself and isolate the tracks from the bulb somehow.

the tracks lead to a blob of solder, theres no way to tell where they go to coz dont think that that plastic sheet with the tracks on it comes off.....

you c**t. maybe they should put a light on the posts so that wen some dickhead puts a smartass post up the light flashes

[RevolutionStarlet89]

burn.

you c***. maybe they should put a light on the posts so that wen some dickhead puts a smartass post up the light flashes

Now i'm upset

Seriously, It'll piss you off though, I have two cosntantly flashing at me, a turbo light and a OD light blinks non stop (missing part of the auto loom) Personally though if i was going to do what u want to do i'd try to do it completely independantly of the facorty circuits, cause all that dash cluster wiring is pretty damn complex and u don't want it messing out. Drop of solder in the wrong place and there would be tears .

If they had a flashing light on smartass posts toyspeed would light up like a christmas tree

[phat_levin]

i have one in my car next to the coin holder and it doenst annoy me at all. want to do one in my bros car. wasnt planning on touching the dash wiring, was going to do independent just need to know if putting power to any of those tracks will do any damge.....

Hense the forum????????

[Mr Revhead]

get a wiring diagram, and tap into the ecu wire. easy and you can put a plug on it so u can take it out easy. thats what i did when testing ecus
