What do you think to this?... When I was trying to fit the blue LED's in the MFD the first time as there has been many, I was messing around with the unit and I think I must have broke it somehow as when I put it all back together it wasn't very bright at all, as though the LCD screen wasn't working. When its really dark you can just see it but i the day you can't see a thing, so I'm gonna need to buy a new unit for about £25 or more.
What I was thinking of doing was not bothering buying this part again but doing this... as I've put in a kenwood HU I've already lost the display function from the stereo so all its there for is the clock and the outside temperature also the date. So what I was thinking was to disconnect it completely and take each function and try to find a gauge that would do each function. I could make a three gauge pod in the surround above the vents somehow, by having a clock in the centre with two others set back a little with the time/date and outside temperature showing. What do you think? I would either buy a gauge pod surround and moddify it or make a custom panel to hold the gauges in place and try to match the interior silver paint style with white faced gauges glowing blue at night to match my dash blue LED's and silver surrounds. Do you think it would look good or a bit naff? where's the best place to get the gauges from and do they do them for time/date, outside temperature and one other and are they easy to wire in? Has anyone fitted gauges in a corsa c before, got any pics? How would you wire in for example a voltmeter or something similar?
