oil pressure movement can fight wih vacuum la
cos when u rev, the oil pressure increase ma and when u let go, oil pressure decreases.... also got ppl use oil pressure as a guide not to overrev....

yep.. just connect parallelly to de cigarette lighter socket..

well... i'm also not sure.. according to de diagram.. it is connected directly from de battery... well since i got de power from de cigarrette lighter socket.. so dat wire is unused lar..

well... no need actually drill lar... i just screw de screws onto de dashboard directly... if removed onli got 2 smal holes... well... u can cover it up with a sticker lar... nobody will notice dat lar... when u sell de car.. :P

 

[speedster_jg]

orange wire is actually a dimmer but no need necessarily to connect
its like when u on the lights, then the meter will dim a bit
some ppl like the feature, some dun, so....

 

[khguan]

wat do u mean is a dimmer? can control de brightness of de meter lights?

 

[jaywat]

Detect the environment light then make the light dimmer?? open the headlight then become dim?? :huh: :huh:

 

[khguan]

i dun think got detect light stuff in de meter lar..

i think wat he means is.. dat wire is connected directly to battery.. so when we start our car.. de meter light wun turn dim/black... since de place we tap voltage suffer from voltage drop due to de starter...

am i rite? speedster?
