Gauge back lighting!
- Thread starter GIXERHP
- Start date
but there is a minor downside..my dumb azz...tried to clean up and got some goof off on the face of the temp gauge.. it smeared the coating on the face a little on one side.. now I have to paint it. Jeesh..all this sheet for some blue lighting....???

I pulled my needles off as well, have speedo healer so thats good. the fuel I filled it up and replaced the needle and the temp is almost half way when the fan kicks on so I sat there with the cluster plugged in with the covers off and let it run till the fan came on and stuck the needle in place real quick.

Re: Gauge back lighting!
Yeah it did that to..except for the fuel. I have yet to do that. But what kept happening with the temp gauge is that I would set it to "C" cause the bike was cold anyway. When I turned the key the needle would go all the way up to H then come back down. But I did it a couple of more times and the needle hardly moved on the intial system check. But after the last time I reset the needle, it seems to be pretty much on the money. I will test one more time when I get home and let it run. My fan also kicks on right at the half way mark. I will see what it does.

To reset guages, press and hold button above odometer, turn key to on, let guAges sweep, let go of button, press button 2 times, guages will flutter, done!!! May take af ew times to get it right
ok this was great info I needed that lol mines a little off cause I didn't initially follow GixerHps instructions quite so closely.

I use to have a link, but they're SMD LED's, PLCC2 I think.....not 100% on that but close. Best bet is just buy the kit on Ebay if you want to do it yourself. $30 is pretty cheap for LEDs and less hassle than dealing with a vendor that carries umpteen millions sizes and are annoyed by a $20 order.
