PFS - Gauge Dimmer Fix

ForcedFed · 03-24-2008, 09:22 AM

The P stands for Possibly, I am trying to find out if anyone is interested in the ability to hook up their gauges to the negative dimmer of their car. Since most gauges, such as my defi gauge, only accept possitive dimming to work, if you hook it up it dimmes the opposite of all of the gauges. I made a tiny circuit that will allow you to hook up the gauge and allow for the correct dimming. It take me half an hour to an hour to make each one, so I would like to make 10 or more at a time. If interesting please let me know. I would sell them for $15 shipped, possible less depending upon who, if anyone, is interested. Thanks.

"possibly" for sale is usually called a Feeler thread. Otherwise people think you're selling something from Peter Farrell Supercars

I believe that is Ray Wilson for those that don't know.

Sorry about that, I looked at it and now that you mention it that is big issue. I wouldn't want Ray to think I am trying anything, I have spent enough money with him, so I would prefer not to make anyone upset. I should have though better. If an administrator wants to delete this whole thread that is fine. I can either re-post it correctly, or I can just not offer it since it doesnt seem people hook up the dimmer to their aftermarket gauges.

Again my appologies, I never wanted to make it seems like it was a PFS product.

I don't think anyone will be upset over it, it's just a little misleading. You're not selling it as a PFS part, so I don't think it'd really be a big deal.

I'd be interested.
