Very construstive advice there Greg, just like the one I just saw in the spotted skyline thread...

Put a resistor in line with the bulb...

Run it in series... About 1 ohm should knock a bit of brightness out of it. Otherwise get a variable pot of lets say 1-5 ohms and then it will be adjustable...

Once again run it in series...

Cost you less than 20 cents for an inline resistor and about $2 for a variable pot...

Cheap as chips...

that's like a beacon out in the middle of the sea.

i dont think u needed to point an arrow to it, i reckon we would have found it anyways.

go the resistor. if it's still too bright, add another resistor, or one of higher value.

1.) Check the power to the White (illumination) wire. This is your power input to the light and the amount of power will vary depending on how and where you have it hooked up. The lower the power, the dimmer the light and the higher the power, the brighter the light. A common range is from 6 to 14 volts.

2.) If your tach features LED lighting such as Cobalt, C2, or NV models, and you have confirmed power to the White (illumination) wire, please visit the Ask A Question or Contact Us pages to communicate with our Tech Department.

3.) If your tach uses a replaceable incandescent bulb (check your instructions), inspect the filament of the bulb and replace as necessary. Very few of our tachometers use an incandescent bulb that is not consumer replaceable. If you believe you have one of these units, please visit the Ask A Question or Contact Us pages to inquire about having the bulb replaced.

That Might help...

      r34's love to squeal

      Jaylec sells brand new alternators for r34's. I wonder if they are better than the oem version. I was considering getting that if I have to tighten this belt 1 more time. Been fine for months but I expect it to happen again eventually.

      Welcome to the forum! And goodbye to your wallet. But better than the alternative of no skyline I guess.

      When the power is on and the AC heat is warming the house...LOL Jackie keeps me updated with the Goulburn temps, I think she is scared she will freeze, me, I'm fine with the cold, I'm use to acclimatising Jackie is the main reason for getting solar, as she "requires" the AC to keep things civil year round, night and day, and me telling her to wrap up and layer in the cold falls on deaf ears, with an evil glance thrown in for good measure to ensure I "understand"...LOL
