Any update on the LEDMOD.com place?

Are there new faces available? - didn't see anything Elise stuff for sale...

After driving around for a bit with my iPhone face up on top of my steering column and seeing how nice it illuminated the cluster I'm thinking about doing what the gent on page 1 did with the blue LED's... but use very small 10mm cool white LED string to line the perimeter of the cluster... and tie into the brightness controller on the board of course.

Here's a picture of one iPhone lighting up from one side while another takes the picture

Just a thought...

I've got several different screens to toggle through that show things like TPS, AFR, etc... Kind of fun and very informative... Great contrast in the light and at night too...

All this is very easy to reduce back to stock form if need be. But why would ya

First two pics are in the sunlight and the last is at night.

Best,

Phil

Takes a little work and some creativity, but nothigh extreme. Just take your dash apart and go to town. Several people have installed dashes similar to the one I use and I think everyone invented their own strategy to mount it...

Good luck,

Phil

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails

speedo failure

Can you pls help? I own an Elise Mk111S K-Eng. and lately the speedo needle froze at 0. Also, the tripster and mileage counter stopped functioning. Could all this be because reset button was pushed when car was in motion? I did try the following: 1) Open driver's door. 2) Press and hold reset button. 3) Turn on ignition.
All that did not solve anything.
Your help will be appreciated.

P.S. I can be contacted on: npanpa@maltanet.net

Just realized that I never posted an electroluminescent panel picture from 2+ years ago...

Just took this pic in the garage (doors closed)...

Much brighter than stock - like an electric banana color
