old post new trick

The bright guages finally began to bother me...so.

I went to Radio Shck and bought a $1.29 potentiometer or variable resister.

Forget the amps but its low as amp draw of the leds is very low.

Fuse panel closed all is out of sight.

Now from no light to full bright is adjustable with the drop of the fuse panel and a twist of the pot. You can buy all types..I bought easy and small.

I soldered the pot in line wit the light circuit....took caution and put cardboard down to catch possible droppings burns.

I have a nice soldering iron and used tiny electrical solder..also availble from Radio Shack.

Cheers
Blue
