A dimmer switch for the gauges dimms them at night time. Directions say to wire it to headlights but I'm gonna make my own switch cause its easy and will be better for my liking

Not that I want extra but I dont want them to just dim on their own...I also don't know how bright they will be yet that is also gonna play a role in what I do

well i did kinda what your wanting in my gtp, and the fader for the lights is great. was always close. so in my gxp its even better, i like the evenness of the color. And besides it looks so stock until night time

Nice. It seems the closer it gets to me tearing into this car the more excited I get. I got a few more parts in today

Well for one if I have extra screws left after this...I'll be having problems. But my gates belt came in. My new cv shaft for drivers side came in. The new PS pump came in. New ps lines came in. And still waiting on tons of other things

Yea...its been leaking for awhile and the rack is starting to get hard to turn so I'm just replacing all of it from lines to pump and at the same time doing a cv shaft and seal along with hopefully an oil change and install some gauges to

Uv been talking about what the dic has to display but i keep my dic on the tranny temp and i put a volt meter in just so i dont have to flip between.. And volt is easier to set up then tranny temp lol

Same here, watch the tranny. Voltmeter in place of massive voltage drop I need to watch out for.

Well who knows guys...I may end up going with a volt gauge...their pretty cheap anyways

Ok though if you were to put a volt meter in and watch for voltage....but if you ever go below 12 volts anyway the DIC will display power saving mode or display that Automaticly so a another waste of a gauge IMO
 


i dont think so, before my battery upgrades along with big three, i could pull the voltage down if i had gains set to high on amp. never seen battery saver. dipped into the 10's enough to shut down the amp. I have a digital voltage readout, the dic isnt that accurate. normally off half a volt at least.

Funny you mention that I've never gone below 13 with the car running especially after I relocated my battery and did 0 gauge wiring. My disc reads 15 driving around now and never goes below 13.8 Now. In traffic with my 1000w and 2 12's. But if I sit with the car off and amp on it will drain of course but not past 12 the dic displays power saving mode and shuts off
