Do all the ignition lights, fog, lights, and indicator etc light up, i have seen the cheap ones and they dont light very clearly

Here's a picture of my dials in the daylight, you can see the cut outs for the warning light etc

[MikeDundee]

And heres another pic of the dials; all the lights show when lit no problem, There is an obvious diferrence between jim's dials and my own

I think your dials look more like mine

[A380 Elite]

Both look nice, where can you order them from?

[Entwood]

@mikedundee ...

Where were these from Jim, they look good, i see there is an extra cutout on the others, just under the 160mph numbers.

Extra cut out is for the fog lights, i have answered my own question.

Still, where do they come from.

A couple of years ago I lived in Germany, and came across a company which made white dials for the omega but the dials only had km's (kilometres) not miles, he told me he could make me a set but he would need to make a template so I took out my origianl  dials he scanned then into the computer and made a set of white dials on his machine.

Got them from the same place as Jim as per the link above, but they forgot to cut out the extra hole for the fog light, so I had to do that myself, I also asked for chrome dials and they sent white, they also took almost 3 months to get them from the date of ordering.

How did you get to do the back bit silver mate i see you got the metal ring's. I've just got a set off the bay and the guy from german polished one ring on the wrong side he did send me a replacement... and did the same thing again so i've polished the other side myself that's life.

Foliatec spray from helfrauds, theres 2 tins you get, one a clear pre-coat, then you spray the finishing coat. the reason i done that was because I got a glue run when fitting the chrome rings , was the only way to disguise/hide it ......have fun

With some difficulty; the face is glued to the housing, you have to carefully prise the face of the housing off, ideally with a very small flathead screwdriver a little bit at a time, it will come off

[MikeDundee]

Heres some pics after the face of the housing has been taken off..................

I have a set of those LED's but a bit of a pain getting them all to work (well in daylight anyway), thanks to EP.....Decided the dials solve that problem and no need for LEDS.

[Sir Sideways]

Looks cool mike,

Ill be ordering a set myself, Ive had a set from them before and was very good. Also be putting some LED's in the MID too.
