Hi-Vis Help

[TTVR4]

Hi All,
i tried fitting a hi vis dash to my baby today but found a problem. All the guages work but the dash wont light up, i am guessing that the dimmer switch needs to be wired in. i cant find a match plug but there is a million unused wires under the dash. does anyone have a wiring diagram or something for the dimmer switch?

Being in a different language it might be a little hard to read, but I found THIS website to have loads of information regarding dash swaps.

If that doesn't help, double check with bradc because if memory serves me correctly he did a dash swap as well, different dashes though

My dash swap was hivis for hivis, so no mods needed. The thread linked to on Galant Fans is a good one. There is this one too. http://www.clubvr4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30595&highlight=dials+thread

speaking of dash swaps...does the odometre reading rollover onto the replacement dash or are you stuck with however many kms are on the new one? the reason i ask is my car/current hi-vis dash has 40,000kms on it but when i do the manual swap i will eventually want to swap over to a manual hi-vis dash and wouldnt want to lose the kms...

You can just swap the faceplate and not the odometer unit.

Where did you find the replacement hi-vis cluster?

I'm guessing there is a good reason why people aren't opting for something like these:

Those will fit an RHD car just fine but they are kinda ugly!

Yeah they don't suit everyone's taste but i was using them as an example only... I'm sure you could find more appealing ones elsewhere.

Change the colours & I wouldn't mind it. Is that a standard wheel in the pic? See the red stitching on the leather...

series one nardi is heaps better then that pajero wheel

evo momo > nardi > stock fl type v

I love that wheel. Tis a lot better than the tree trunck with leather highlights I currently wrap my hands around. Is it simply a type V wheel that has been re wrapped?

That dash looks OK too. It is a fair upgrade for those poor buggers without hi vis.

 

[bradc]

That looks like the standard non turbo steering wheel that has been retrimmed.
