Quite nifty I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR6TK1W1 Member 435 Member For: 21y 8m 20d Location: Wellington NZ Posted 21/04/03 12:51 AM Author Share Posted 21/04/03 12:51 AM Yes XR6na they are. I origanally had them off the board and only one LED, but I found it hard to get even light between the arrows. So I looked at the board and found how Ford would had done it. Single switches were easy, but the main drivers switch required me to remove the board to do this, and I wouldn't recommend it on my worst emeny. I was hoping from my pics that people could see where to soldier, but my camera can't get that close up. Also as you my have read the premium and Lo series seem to be different. But other than that I would be happy to make a diagram up. Just let us know what you have and between me an NT I'm sure we could sort you out.
