Illumination tidy and arrows + add. devices ... - Toyota bB, 1.5 liter, 2003
The regular dull yellowish-gray-white color of the tidy backlight was depressing and did not inspire joy, it was decided to replace it ...
On the toyota-bb.com forum, this issue was actively resolved, so there was almost no creativity ... everything is simple and clear. A little gemorno, but not difficult ...
At first I wanted to make the arrows myself using the technology from the bb forum ... but for some reason they did not glow. Therefore, I bought a tidy from an old Carolla on parsing and stuck it in from there.
Illumination of arrows with diodes, three per arrow. The entire speedometer is illuminated by a white LED strip.
A new design of the speedometer lining was also planned (and is still planned) while "under construction".
Glass is tinted as well as on additional devices. When the ignition is off, everything is dark - you turn on the ignition - the devices light up ... There are 3 additional devices (two installed so far).
Pro-sport gauges: coolant temp, voltmeter (SPL will understand))), oil pressure…
Unfortunately, in the photo, the speedometer turns on during the day in bright sunshine and it was not possible to convey the whole effect ... but with the alteration of the speedometer lining in black and white scales, everything will fall into place and the design of the speedometer will completely match with additional devices.
PS The last photo shows an old speedometer
Everything is good, but it would be necessary to harmonize with additional devices! ;)
Yes, it’s necessary ... but the previous three attempts were not successful ((too small cuts must be made, and because I made a new sticker from the film instead of the old scale, the plotter can’t cope and it turns out complete crap ... while too lazy - maybe by the summer xs.
