Re: check engine light
For anyone interested, I did a full autometer swap for my gauges and couldn't figure out what to do about the blinkers/ high beam/ and MIL. Turns out those LEDs I posted earlier are literally the perfect size to go right into the stock dash with no modification whatsoever. It is essentially a bolt and nut with an LED on the head. Slide the front through the dash, tighten the nut snug up to the back of the dash and you're good to go. Unfortunately when they blink it's like staring into the sun, so I'm trying out a few different resistors now. You could also use a pot if you want to be able to dim them, but the rest of my cluster doesn't so I wasn't worried about it. Also, you don't have to, but I think they would look better without being able to see the diodes through the polymer on the head so I've scuffed up the face a little bit. That also diffused a bit of light. I'll try to get pics up tomorrow.
