Default How to make

This might be the wrong forum but i want to make an LED tachometer for my car (like F1 use). Ive seen the schematics before written for a CRX. Can someone just point me in the right direction

often you have to buy one then just connect the cables, it will come with instructions

Tachometers are the same for any 4 cylinder gas engine car. You just need to hook to the wire at the cluster (I think it is blue) that has the ignition pulses.

put custom LED's behind the gauges? Addiction2bass did a DIY on it, i have it in my car (behind all my gauges) and its super sick and easy, you just get flexible LED strips from www.oznium.com and run them behind the gauges where they need light. Well, jsut read the DIY on it haha go to the DIY section and then appearance mods
