Installing Fpv Gauges - Diy

[lowfutura]

Thanks Robit, Now maybe that will be enough motivation to move my pod and gauges off the coffee table (where they have been sitting for 6 months) and into the dash.

P.S. Then I'll see how far I can drop kick the old clock over the back fence!

Great post

Where did you buy the gauges and are they backlit in blue to match dash ?

thanks

good stuff...this is how they should look

has anyone had any problems trying to fit cobalt gauges into a fpv pod? the pins for the lighting hit the back of the pod leaving a 1mm gap.. barely noticeable unless you know its there but I havnt even wired up the lighting yet so I know its gonna be a problem.. who has pics of cobalts wired up in the fpv pod?

had the same problem they don't fit perfectly even after shortening the threads on the back and some creative bending of the pins without breaking them and I still had the 1mm gap. I got used to it but I always noticed it ,tried a cobalt in an aftermarket single pod still had same issue.

yeah im not soo much worried about the gap,, but just how to wire it.. I didnt wanna try bending them but seeing as though you did without any dramas ill give that a go

I just cut mine down Rob and then soldiered the wire onto them. Fits like a glove then.

where is the spare acc plug? only spare I saw is connected to the cigirette lighter plug and looks like a globe gets put into it
