Dash Lights - what do I need?
Just been working out what lights to have on my dash as I have 8 available on my dash.
Was thinking of - Left Indicator Right Indicator Oil Pressure Warning Charging Warning Brake Fluid/Handbrake Warning Sidelight Main Beam Fog Light Hazards will be the switch on the steering wheel. Is this all I need?? Cheers Dave |
Full Beam??

I dont think you "Need" oil pressure and battery warning lights.
|
Left Indicator + Right Indicator
Brake Fluid/Handbrake Warning Sidelight ( dash illumination is all you need ) Main Beam Fog Light Hazards will be the switch on the steering wheel. |

The question is "what do you need", if you need to pass IVA , you don't need Oil or battery warning.
Although the alternator does need something to excite the windings. TT |
Cheers guys for the quick responses - I am using one of these units
Supplied by saturn complete with a sensor to go straight into the gearbox. The warning lights around the side are little hexagonal units you can swap or make your own to suit - you get these in the pack The only thinh you have to be careful about is that 4 LEDs on one side are +ve switched and the 4 on the other are -ve switched. |

Dai,
your charging circuit won't work with an LED, it has to be an ordinary bulb (unless a certain resistor is used as well) which I guess is why a battery emblem isn't included with the vapor dash unit. All the best, Sam |
What price an engine for the sake of one light ?
Fit the brightest red/orange light you can for the oil pressure,you are more likely to see this than watch the oil pressure drop on a guage and it does not take long to wreck an engine due to it. Can you use one light for both indicators? |
