LOL!!

G'day all, sorry I've been a bit quiet - busier than a one armed painter with crabs! :rofl:

Thanks for those recommendations guys - you're embarrasing me! :embarrass

Fair dinkum though, the day job has kept me racing about lately, and by the time I get home I'm usually knackered! Shortsta, if you're reading this thread I'll reply to your e-mail soon Mate, sorry about that.

Give me just a little while to get my arse connected properly and I'll get into some of this.

Cheerz!

HAY! so it CAN be done. I had that idea suggested to me by friends, but as much as I wanted it, I didn't think it could be done. Now that i've seen it, I joined just to say that looks AWSOME!!!:thumbsup:

Thanks Mate - LOL!! You've revived an old thread here!

In the recent past there has been a development on "colour morph" needles for speedo and tach, I've actually started doing VEs now, and just ironing out the last wrinkles with VT/VX conversions Woo-hoo!!

Cheerz! :thumbsup:

 

[sh@dow]

no worries, actually found this by accident while looking for info on berlina dashes (I wanted the added info from the triple screen display, although I don't think that will happen unless I replace the whole dash)

 

[Phreddy]

No, you can fit a three window trip computer type cluster (from Berlina / Calais) into the standard models, you just need to get the Holden guys to recode it with the Tech 2 - all the plugs are the same. (as long as you make sure you get a VZ cluster - a VY one won't work... Different connector)

How come bdcmedia's wheel buttons light up? Are they meant to light up normally? mine don't

Colour Morphing.
I remember asking this some time ago.
Ive still got that link.
So is it doable in the VY/Z's as well?
Have you got a small video or pictures of this happening.
:thumbsup:

The buttons don't light up in Exec, Lumina, Acclaim, S, SV6 manual, and VY-I SS.
They do light up in later SS, Calais, Berlina, SV6 auto, Monaro, and HSV models.

And before you ask, it is possible to do but it means the "clockspring" (the rotating thing that gets the electrical contacts to the wheel) has to be replaced along with wires added to the harness, not the mention the wheel button pods need to be pulled apart and the LEDs and resistors need to be soldered in. Oh, by the way - I got the price on a clockspring from Holden - even at trade it was over $300. (needless to say I didn't worry any further about my wheel buttons lighting up)

Jamie - got the colour change thing happening not all that long ago. However it only works if the needles are white in colour, so that when the lights are on the back of the needle reflects the different coloured light.
