Re: LED'S in the dash.

Howdy

It's just a typical electrical store called Jaycar

Runs a simple positive which I powered off if the light switch and then just earthed it to the housing

Re: LED'S in the dash.

Cheers
It most certainly did

I've ended up getting an LED strip light and mounted it between the instrument panel and the heater control panel

Came out not to bad

Will just need to blank out the rear as it casts light onto the fire wall

Re: LED'S in the dash.

Question if I may

How does the heater controls get illumination

Is it via the slit on the side of the main dash housing?

I've got a bulb on the trans button selectors and its obviously brighter on that side

Cheers

Re: 57-59 Dual Antenna repops

Howdy

Just curious

Would you sell a pair unfinished? And if so how much

Would you also be able to supply the antenna

Cheers
