One of many new installs. (56k burn in hell, not really haha) - Honda Prelude Forum

Okay if I talked to anyone about this LED gauge install here it is finally. The hardware itself was done by Mike Classe @ FallaStar Media I had the pleasure of installing it! I had to tap into the tach signal from the ecu. Speed, volatage, and ground signals from the cluster plug-in wiring. This guy is genius and really knows his sh1t.

Taking it apart: (two cluster faces are there, I just upgraded to brushed aluminum/ chrome lip cluster rings)

Gluing the led cluster ring on the tach:

Gluing the led cluster ring on the speedometer:

Here it is put back together, ready for installation:

Here's everything trying to fit back in to its original gauge cluster location (Fvcking *****!)

Here's all the wires coming out to the bottom into the circuit board that controls all the timing and sensitivity, voltage, shift light controller/light sensitivity:

Heres all of the led's lit up in test mode:

Now this isn't my car but its the same exact cluster and everything and its exactly what it looks like. Notice the shift light built into the cluster as well, which is all adjustable.

And you thought changing just one color of leds was hard...

Ahh don't you just love it?

More installs to come guys.

i know a few guys from high school who have been at tcc for over 6 years now

HeavyDLuder91 · 05-01-2007, 11:22 AM

good god! That place is actually really fun to go to school to since everyone has that attitude like we all can wait to get outta this dump. But hey i guess its worth saving the 20+ grand! Besides no one will even know I went to TCC once I get my A&M degree...*****es.

Xander · 05-04-2007, 03:35 PM

^I will. and now so will the whole interweb

HeavyDLuder91 · 05-05-2007, 11:04 AM

haha I don't even care what anyone else thinks so i guess I win in the end? Besides its always who you know not what you know in the end as well... but all of us who do go this way actually would look smarter considering everyone who wasted all their money end p saying "Damn. I wish I would have done that." But thats after they've gotten herpes from some dumb blonde chick they thought they'd screw behind a shed they just played beer pong in.

Oh yea... isn't it going to rain at the meet tomorrow?
