Digital dashboard on the car with your own hands. Beautifully highlight the dashboard of the machine

The dashboard of the car is a very important detail. It is using the dashboard that the motorist can quickly navigate on the road and take the right decision, to understand whether it should add speed or it would be time to go to another stage of the gearbox. In any case, how qualitatively the dashboard will work, not only the safety of the motorist on the road will depend on the road, but also its comfort driving.

It is also worth saying about the appearance of the dashboard, because the dashboard constantly sees the driver in front of him. And it is precisely this element of the car to follow and, if necessary, put in order, regardless of whether you have an old car or a new one.
Even with the very simplest actions that almost any motorist can make, which can disassemble your car dashboard, you can transform it and really unique.

What happens tuning dashboard

Tuning this element of the car can be conditionally attributed either to functional improvements or to aesthetic. Often, motorists who think about the improvement of the dashboard of the car, pursue both goals and want to make the panel both more beautiful and functional.

Complete enough, but interesting dashboard tuning process in details:

The functional tuning is primarily directed or to replace the controls or car instruments for more advanced analogs, or simply provides for the addition of additional devices or controls. The main goal of such tuning is to improve the quality of information on the state of the car or about weather or other conditions overboard.
Aesthetic tuning, in turn, is directed solely on improving the appearance of the dashboard. Naturally, such improvements can be made even to the detriment of the functionality, which is far from always well affecting the car, but if a person wants to do something with his car, it is difficult to stop.

Complexity of functional tuning

Often, functional tuning is limited only by replacing older or failed car devices with newer and modern. However, you should not forget that the function tuning should also be attributed to the installation of additional elements of the car control like an immobilizer, an on-board computer or embedded additional devices. The main problem with such a refinement is not so much the choice of components, how many competent installation. Most often, novice fans of tuning, which at home will want to carry out such a setup, will have to face such a problem as difficulties in calibrating instruments. Imagine that the speedometer will show the inadequate speed of the vehicle or the fuel sensor will deceive you at the most inopportune moment.

Separately, you need to say about this moment as the legality of refinement. That is - if the design of the car is provided by a speedometer or a tachometer of exactly the model that is installed at the factory, it will be quite difficult to explain its replacement during maintenance. Therefore, it is better to carry out aesthetic tuning of devices, which have already been installed on the car, and additional place or on top of the dashboard, or those places that are still free.
Aesthetic question

When carrying out aesthetic tuning, it is necessary to carefully plan everything, because the skills will need no less than when performing a functional improvement in the dashboard, and besides it, it also takes a canceled feeling of taste. If you know what you want, it remains only to prepare the necessary materials and elements, and we will talk about it a little later, but if you don't have a clear plan, it is necessary to develop it in advance.


First, look for inspiration on car forums or ask the advice from the friends of motorists who tuning their cars. Naturally, each person exceptionally has its own taste, but someone's finished modifications may well push you on an interesting decision, which you will subsequently implement.
In addition, knowing what you want to achieve with your car, you can easily choose the necessary materials and apply one or other solutions related to the manufacture of the elements necessary for tuning.

Where to start tuning

No matter how planning to improve the car dashboard, first prepare the necessary tools:

Tools for disassembling dashboard
Industrial dryer
Stationery knife or sharp blade
Required wiring and controls
Soldering iron and solder

The remaining necessary tools and materials will differ from each other depending on what you are going to do with the dashboard. You may also need specific tools if you need to use non-standard techniques and a non-standard tool to disassemble the panel. In advance, find out which tools are needed to remove the cover of the car and unscrewing those elements to be replaced or refined.

We disassemble the dashboard

Specialists recommend spending any work in a dry room in which there is no dust. This is a rather important point, on which the general success of our venture depends. First, dust can prevent us in exactly sticking various color films to change the color of the backlight of the instruments on the panel, and the increased humidity will simply spoil the wiring.
You should carefully remove the trim on your car's dashboard in order to gain access to those controls or monitoring the status of the car you want to work on. In the event that you are going to change the scale on the instruments, we advise you to extremely gently remove the arrows. For this, a simple marker is perfect, which is marked with a place of connecting the arrow using a dash or dots. In the event that the arrift is soldered, you can use the soldering iron and warm the tin that keeps the arrow on the coil. However, do not forget that the arrow will still need to set back, and in order to make it right, you need to designate the connection locations, because otherwise the calibration can be carried out only in the car service.

How to improve dashboard

When you disassemble the dashboard to the state that you can work with it, it is worth stopping and thinking about what you plan to do. You also need to check whether your modifications will damage your modifications and if everything is in order, then you can continue.
After that, with your dashboard, you can do almost all that you want, but from the abundance of various possibilities, often starting to get lost, so let's consider several tuning options.

We change the scale of instruments

First of all, you can replace the scale on the instruments. To do this, you can either paint the old scale and apply a drawing on it or with a stencil, or stick a special film with an already printed pattern over the scale. Most often, this option gives the most beautiful and high-quality result.

In order to make such a film, even in the simplest graphic editor to draw a layout of what markup you want to see on a particular device and print it on a special film, for which you can contact the printing house. In the same case, if you want to change the color of the arrows or individual items on the instrument scale, you can even gently paint the desired sections with paint. Some motorists who want to achieve interesting luminescence effects use a fluorescent paint for this, which shines perfectly when connected even a small LED to the backlight.

We replace the backlight of the instruments

Since it was discussed about adding LEDs to the lighting of certain devices, it is worth saying that the LED backlight of the instruments is very popular tuning.
However, despite its popularity, with the addition of or completely replacing the backlight on the LED, it is worth being very careful. First, you will have to face a rather complicated process of removing factory wiring and backlight lamps, and secondly, you can overdo it with the number of LEDs. That this does not happen, we advise you to be limited to 1-2 LEDs on the device, which will be quite enough for bright backlight, which will be clearly visible at dusk, but it will not beat in the eyes at night.


In the event that the device is implemented from the inside in the device, and the scale of the device itself is transparent, you can add a little more LEDs, but it is worth placing them in such a way that their direct light does not get into the eye to the driver or passengers.

An interesting way to replace the backlight on Skoda Octavia:

To install such a backlight, it is worth using a car's native wiring, as it is initially connected to the controls and you do not have to break your head How to save the backlight or where to place the button to turn it on.

Adjust the brightness of the backlight

Most often to adjust the brightness of the backlight, located behind the device, you need to collect it, but if something does not arrange in brightness, the device will need to disassemble and configure again. In order not to spend time on such actions, we advise you to connect the backlight through the variable row, which can be controlled by the intensity of the glow, simply twisting it. Naturally, the setting is best spent 3 times - during the day, at dusk and at night, to understand, is it convenient to look at the instruments.

Complex tuning

Frequently often motorists, which with their own hands improve their dashboard, modify several instruments at once or the overall backlight of the dashboard so that it looks more stylish. In this case, it is better to prepare in advance the same templates for the scales of the instruments and the same color of the backlight LEDs. In the same case, if you do not have access to the LEDs of the desired color, you can do by conventional white LEDs and simply stick to the desired places the translucent film of the desired color. This film will be a conventional light filter, and the effect you achieve the same as when using different color LEDs.

Tuning techniques

To successfully perform any refinement of the car or its dashboard, you need to own multiple simple techniques that will allow you to perform the necessary actions. We have already talked about how to stick the toning film correctly, namely, such techniques are used and when sticking translucent films on the opposite direction, the dispersion table with slots in order for divisions and numbers to glow the right light. Another equally interesting technique is to use fluorescent paints to paint the arrows or division of the device. In order to apply such a paint, it is enough to use either a simple pattern, on top of which you can safely paint, or just gently apply it with a thin brush.
Also, do not forget about the need to correctly calibrate the arrows after its removal, because an incorrectly calibrated device is a very serious problem that can be solved only in the service center.

Installation of instruments and assembly dashboard

When you made sure that you did everything that I wanted and completely satisfied with the result, it's time to install the removed devices in place, connect them and collect the dashboard. Do not forget to check whether the devices are eaten and everything is in order with the fasteners of the trim. If you do everything calmly and do not rush, then such a dashboard tuning will not only be worse than the one for which you would have to pay a large enough amount in the studio, but even better, because you will make such tuning with your own hands and in Any time can be changed or removed something.

How, do you see the design of the dashboard with your own hands? Some time, labor, and everything is ready! Consider how such tuning can be made on the example of the Hyundai Accent car. Here is a list of what we need to work:

• small pliers;
• sandpaper;
• double sided tape;
• screwdrivers of different sizes;
• photographic paper Lomond Satin, matte, with a density of 280
• scissors.

Stage 1. Disassembly.

We proceed to disassembling the panel. At the top unscrewing two screws. Then disconnect the three connectors and now you can comfortably get at the table and unscrew the devices.

Stage 2. Remove the arrows.

Use for this 2 screwdrivers and a hairdryer.

Watch that tachometers do not suffer.

3 stage. Processing a plastic substrate.

We take sandpaper and sanding the substrate.

4 stage. Intermediate.

As a result of your manipulations on the table there must be the following:

• opaque part of the scale (1);
• old scale (2);
• prints of the new outer side of the scale (3);
• substrate scale (4);
• tachometer (5);
• arrow.

5 stage. Prints.

Gently cut out the printout with sharp scissors.

6 stage. Fastening.

Attach the substrate to the scale. Two-sided scotch tape is fed by an opaque part of the scale. If, with temperature amplitudes, the glue does not force the paper, Tol can use it.

Here is an opaque part in the already glued form. For its manufacture, a photographic paper with black fill is used. You can use another opaque and thin material.

7 stage. Collection of design.

We try on the scale using the lumen. The cutters are indicated by numbers 1 and 2. This is a tape, visible through the photo paper. This can be corrected if you make a plastic substrate.

All crepary on regular cogs.

Build panel. The arrow calibration is to car.

8 stage. Calibration.

We warmly warm the machine, in the middle position, fastened the arrow t-ry chilled fluid. We make a rationale - put the arrow of the tachometer at idle. Most likely, it is not wrong, it can either not move at all or moving jerks. Remove and install it again until it moves as it should! We roll out gasoline and put a "fuel level" arrow in the zero position until the warning lamp lights up.

First, we ride the arrow in the "Polbak" position, after which it starts to move, downstairs or at the top reaching the limiter. Here it must be removed and quickly put in place and secure "on zero". Next, we measure the speed, follow which direction and how much, there will be an error, after which we remove the panel and the device itself. The inner rotating part is that in the rear of the device, we press a screwdriver, and then scroll the arrow.

The instrument panel is one of the important elements of the cabin, which the driver draws attention during the ride. Her tuning is always striking. We will tell about the principles and basic ways to improve the panel.

In modern foreign cars there is a whole range of instruments and sensors, including small displays.

How can I pull the instrument panel

I immediately want to say that the borders of the tuning of the instrument panel are limited only by your fantasy, taste and color to choose only you. But nevertheless, in most part, you can select the replacement of standard lighting, adding the lighting of the sensors, arrows and other components.

In addition to lighting, you can change the appearance of the panel, adding special stickers to the instruments. Thus, the appearance of the instrument panel will be changed. Some motorists manage to independently do similar stickers by printing on a laser printer, on self-adhesive paper.

The third method and the most expensive, it is a complete replacement of the instrument panel for tunned. Most often it can be completely different device location, multi-colored backlight, the presence of additional devices. The most modern is considered to install a large display instead of analog instruments, but such pleasure will cost a lot of money.

LED-based devices backlight

It does not rarely, it happens that the dull factory illumination of the instrument panel mixes the instrument records or they are not visible at all. Also, due to such a backlight, the driver's eye tired, which can lead to an accident.

The most advanced way is the LED backlight based on ribbons. First, they are easy to buy in any auto shop, and secondly, quickly and easily install. The first thing we need to remove the instrument panel, depending on the brand and car model, the panel is removed in different ways, so we will not describe unscrewing and removing the panel.

Now removing the panel, we spin it to the base, so it can be easily accessible to standard lighting. As a rule, in passenger cars power 12V, the same nutrition and LED tape.

Next, it is worth friends with a soldering iron, you will need to remove the regular light bulbs and solder the LED ribbon in their place. You can use two small wiring as a fastener of the soldering, but not very thin, due to the load can overcome.

It is advisable to arrange the LED tape evenly over the entire surface. As practice shows, it is better to solder a few short-lived tapes than one long, and the probability of combustion is less, and there will be no load on one nutrition.

If you do not be friends with a soldering iron, then it will be better to turn to experienced, as you need to be neat and tonny, the slightest closure can burn the entire instrument panel.

After all the ribbons soldered, you should check the instrument panel and turn on the backlight, if everything is done correctly, all tapes will glow. The ribbons themselves can be attached using bilateral tape, thus, the backlight will be distributed evenly to all devices. It remains only to collect everything in the reverse order, spin the instrument panel and enjoy.

Film instead of LEDs

You can consider the use of a film instead of LEDs or LED tapes in a simpler way. The advantage of this method is the simplicity and smaller costs. Getting started similar as in the previous case. It is worth unscrew and remove the instrument panel, then disassemble it to the base where the backlight is located. Now the procedure begins to be different. Typically, the factory illumination of white (in domestic cars), and the color changes due to the film on the instruments on the reverse side.

The transparent film, the brighter there will be the backlight of the devices, depending on the color of the film there will be the backlight of the instruments. The principle is constructed in such a way that light from the standard backlight passes through the film, thereby changing the color and highlighting the devices.

Here, as they say, the colors will be limited to your fantasy, you can make numbers of the same color, the arrows of the other, and the third line. Some amateurs are screwed down by sandpaper, zero, the base of instruments on the reverse side (from the backlight), so that the figures and indicators seem brighter. The film can be used as a special, it is also sold in the auto shops and find themselves on their own with infirred materials. It can be considered a big plus that no changes to the electronics will be made, which means there can be no closure.

Glue sticker on dashboard

In addition to the above induced methods regarding the change in the color of the backlight, you can change the appearance, that is, the image of the instruments as the driver will see them.

To do this, most often use special stickers. To do this, it is necessary to disassemble the instrument panel and get to the substrate to the appliances on which the values \u200b\u200band numbers are applied.

It is worth remembering that stickers are sold under each model, the brand and year of the car being released separately. With example, there may be the same car, brand and model, even the year of release, and the instrument panel is different. In one there will be a tachometer, there is no one in the other. Therefore, stickers should be selected very carefully.

Before glue, sample superficially to the factory panel, is suitable for fasteners, there is nothing interferes for smooth stickers. If the old coating can be removed, then it is better to do this, the new sticker will look much cute. Now, when everything came up the surface to be glued to wipe the degreaser. Stick one side, and pressing the sticker slowly delay the protective layer. It is planted to smooth out so that there was no air under the sticker, otherwise it will fall back from the surface in a few months.

After the procedures have passed, you can collect everything back and mounted mounting to see how efficiently the instrument panel has improved. Next, we collect everything in the reverse order by setting the panel to the laid place.

Change the instrument panel to a new

As we previously remembered, in addition to induced methods, there is still the most expensive, but also the highest quality option, it is a complete replacement of the instrument panel. Now in the mode of the instrument panels, which are based on a large display instead of analog instruments.

Even on domestic cars, you can install such a miracle and the panel will acquire a modern look. When choosing it is necessary to remember all the parameters of your car, as even different engines can play a role in choosing. Such a panel allows you to fully adjust the devices to your taste, their location, backlight and other parameters. In short, do everything to taste the driver. Below we have a video example of the operation of such a panel of instruments by car VAZ 2114.

This technology is based on a large display on the entire instrument panel, a micicaputer based on Android and a set of devices, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

Such a replacement is usually short-lived, but costly, so before you think about whether you need it or just for beauty.

Price tuning instrument panel

The cost of parts may depends on what you want to get as a result. For an example, a 10-15-minute LED tape will cost about $ 1-2, if they take a color film, then the costs are less or at all can be found at home in the garage.

Well concerns the display instead of the instrument panel, then on the same VAZ 2114 it will cost $ 300-400. But still, it all depends on the modification, installed software and a set of additional functions of such an instrument panel. On average, the replacement of the entire panel takes a couple of hours.

Video Interactive Display on VAZ 2114:

Many motorists are not satisfied with the backlight of their dashboard in the evening and at night. But the poor quality illumination or its complete lack of negatively affects the safety of the road. Therefore, many craftsmen do it with their own hands, making additional coverage of their car. And first of all covers the dashboard.

Very often, for these purposes, LEDs that have a lot of advantages and allow you to create with our own hands high-quality lighting inside the car's cabin. This article will tell you how it is possible to get a type of backlight and nuances in the dashboard, which should be observed in this situation.

Why do you need additional backlight?

Today, the car tuning is carried out not only outside, but also inside his cabin and better space than the dashboard is not found. Diodes built into the panel will allow the following positive points:

• give the dashboard a new unusual look;
• high quality highlight important elements of the dashboard;
• make additional lighting of the vehicle cabin;
• make a trip by car more comfortable;
• increase road safety. When the instrument panel is well lit, all indicators are perfectly visible on it that allow you to correctly appreciate the position of the car on the road and not to break the road traffic rules.

The easiest way to illuminate such an element of the machine, as the dashboard is to install diodes into it. Here you can use the following types of LED products:

• separate diodes. Using them as a backlight, you can create a full or decorative dashboard lighting. It is worth noting that the LEDs can glow with different colors. Therefore, such LED backlight can be beautifully complemening the external tuning, lighting with it in one color scheme;

Note! Additional lighting of the dashboard created using such diodes allows you to integrate them in almost any part of the board. As a result, the backlight will most fully meet the requirements of the car owner and give lighting where it really has a need.

• lED Strip Light. Such a tape is very often used as a decorative backlight not only car, but also home premises or street elements. It can be easily replaced with another, which will change the boning color gamut on the new one. The LED tape has a self-adhesive basis, with the help of which its installation with its own hands is carried out quite easily and quite quickly.

LED Strip Light

Despite the ease of working with the LED ribbon, most often diodes use diodes for illumination. This choice is associated with certain advantages of using this type of backlight.

Why LED backlight is preferable

At the moment, the market of lighting devices exist a wide variety of products that can be used to illuminate any car brand.

Note! Not every brand of the car actually needs this type of lighting. Some manufacturers already at the production stage include high-quality LED backlight in the dashboard. Usually this situation is characteristic of expensive foreign cars.

Dashboard Production Backlight

But in most vehicles, there is no such additional lighting or is defective. Especially this situation is relevant for old models that were manufactured in those times when the LED backlight has not yet heard.
Choosing a LED lighting type, car owners are guided by the following positive moments of such illumination:

• diodes of such a plan have small dimensions, which allows them to be installed anywhere in the dashboard. At the same time, they are easily massaged;
• easy Relube LEDs for different connections to each other. Moreover, if the Reloika LED tape is performed, this procedure is carried out according to certain rules that are characteristic and for working with individual diodes;
• even a small number of diodes installed on the panel can create a full type of lighting, sufficient for a comfortable driving of the car;

Pay attention! With such elements, you can make a backlight even alarm.

• the ability to make not only white, but also color backlight. Diodes can give beautiful and frequent glow of green, yellow, red, purple, green or blue. At the same time, from the replacement for a new color is possible in the future and will not require excessive effort from car owner;

Glow of LEDs

• this type of lighting consumes the minimum amount of electricity, which is very important for the car and its alarm running from the battery.

In this case, the installation of diodes is not very complex. Here you just need to correctly connect the elements of the lighting system. With such work, almost any person will be able to cope with their own hands.

Features of the LED backlighting

LED light bulb

Using LED backlighting for a car, you can use diode light bulbs with a standard basement. In this way, you can highlight the instrument buttons on the panel. In a situation where several devices should be highlighted at once, the LED light bulb placed in a special cartridge should be used for high-quality lighting. This requires a special dressing. But you can just buy in the store or on the market.

In addition, light bulbs that give a narrow light stream can be used to illuminate the car dashboard and its alarm. It can be obtained from a conventional light bulb by applying a special diffuser (lenses) for lighting. Thus, in the first situation, the lighting will be pointing, and in the second - the light flux will fall at a certain angle.
When organizing the backlight of the buttons, you can use light sources with a directional light stream. But for the lighting of the Speedometer and Alarm panel, you should give preference to the light bulbs giving a large dispersion angle. Although it can already be left on an individual avoidance of the car owner.

How to organize the shooter backlight

Very often in the car you need a backlight of the instrument panel arrows.

Illumination of the arrow of the device

In a situation where you need to install the diode lighting of the arrows on the dashboard, you must do the following manipulations:

• we carry out the stripping of the arrow's paint from three sides. Painting stripping is held below the arrows and on its sides;
• after that, the stripped surfaces should be painted with a stationery white stroke or white nail polish. You can also use the usual white paint, but it will be a little more about it;

Note! The tip of the arrows into white will help increase the light effect.

Speed \u200b\u200bspeedometer arrows

• after that, we take three LEDs. They need to be soldered in each other.
• spared LEDs should be placed in the dashboard. It is pre-drilled in it to drill holes for installing diodes and masking wires.

After that, they connect to the power source and your arrow glows by the touch as the color of the LEDs were selected.
Some craftsmen make the backlight of the arrow in such a way that it can change the color depending on the change in the speedometer readings. To organize such a backlight, you need to use diodes of three different colors:

• green;
• red;
• blue.

These colors are standard. Remember that for each arrow you need to use three diodes in the sequence in which you want to get a glow. Thus, the light stream will be sufficient for high-quality illumination of the metric part of the instrument.

Finished backlight arrows

Usually, the minimum indicators use a green color, and for the maximum - red. Diodes should be placed under each arrow in the circle of its movement.

Organization of backlighting the stove control buttons

The second in popularity in the organization in the organization of the dashboard lighting in the car is the backlight buttons control the stove.

Foil reflector

Organization of backlighting the buttons of the console intended for controlling the stove is as follows:

• at first, we remove the handles as well as the glass from the control unit;
• we make a foil reflector. It will need to be fixed under the shot with glass;
• then we carefully unscrew the bottom of the bottom. Under it, a cartridge with an old light source, which is subject to replacement;
• we replace the old light bulb on the LED;

Note! Under the bottom of the console, you can install the LED tape. It, due to its self-adhesive basis, it will easily take the necessary position. In this situation, it will be connected by its wires through the cartridge. Here the main observance of the polarity of the wires otherwise the LED tape will not glow.

• after installing the LED, we return all parts of the console to the previous place in the reverse sequence.

Ready backlight console

The easiest way to create a backlight involves the following manipulations:

• take the button from the console;
• disassemble it to the components of the elements;
• inside such a button there should be a light bulb that changes to the LED;
• if there is a need, a light filter can be removed from the button or combine it with a new glow of the diode. As a result, you can get a new beautiful and unique hue.

As you can see, the backlight of the console designed to control the stove in the car is fairly easy.

Combined instrument lighting

To implement this type of lighting, you need to stock type:

• double sided tape;
• lED in the cartridge (three pieces);
• foil.

In order to remove the dashboard, you need to clarify the removal steps with the instruction that is attached to the vehicle. The algorithm of actions here has the following form:

• removing the instrumental combination;
• gently turn away the speedometer cable and disconnect all available plugs;
• in the upper part of the dashboard, the backlight sources should be placed - three light bulbs. Also here will be a green light filter. It can be removed or left;
• a light bulb is replaced on the LEDs and install the foil diffuser. It is fixed with the help of bilateral scotch.

Finished backlight dashboard

After that, it remains only to collect all the details of the panel and install them in the previous places.

Note! In any case, the organization of the backlight can be calmly experimenting with the colors of LEDs to get the most beautiful type of glow.

Conclusion

In order to carry out the replacement of the dashboard lighting, you can use both separate LEDs and a whole LED tape. In this case, the backlight can be carried out as a separate part of the console and its entire area. The main thing is to connect diodes and ribbon correctly, without confusing the polarity of the wires.

Probably, every motorist, which is the owner of the car of the VAZ family, wants to upgrade its dashboard. On modern foreign cars, the dial of devices from the inside is highlighted, which looks very attractive, as if the numbers shine and the devices itself. But the instrument panels of VAZ cars are highlighted by conventional lamps, which emit light on the dials from the arrows, from the outside. At the same time, the brightness is low, and the detail of this backlight is little effective. That is why most owners of such cars very often improve the instrument panel using the backlight. In addition, it is quite easy to make it yourself.

To independently make a tuning backlight on VAZ models cars, you do not need to have special skills, but in a specialized company this procedure will cost anything expensive. You can try to make the dashboard backlight from the inside, as on modern cars.

To work, you will need a light-up standard pad for the dashboard. The instrument panel from the vehicle must be removed and disassembled. Do not forget also to dismantle the old lining and arrows of the appliances. So that the backlight light falls from the inside to the lining, the special cuts should be made under the overlay with a heated knife or soldering iron.

Then go directly to the backlight. It will be organized using LED tape. It is necessary to choose a tape that can be easily cut into small parts, three diodes. Regarding the uniformity of the glow, then it is made from the usual foil using the reflector. For the speedometer and the tachometer we take three parts of the tape, and for pointers of the fuel level and the coolant temperature, one by one.

The standard highlighting of the VAZ should be saved, as its task will be the backlight of the arrows on the instrument scale. If you wish, it can also be upgraded if it is possible to glue the LED tape in the place of the standard lamps. So that the highlighting is not too bright, you can toned it a little. Toning is carried out using a tint film or a black marker. The regular light filter is better left, then the backlight will be soft and uniform with a bluish tint.

Connect all follows to the contacts on the plate lamp plate, pre-determining their polarity. In order to stabilize the current, it is advisable to use the driver to power the LEDs.

Illumination of the instrument panel VAZ 2114

First you need to remove the main lighting lamps together with the cartridges. Next, very carefully remove the arrows, going on with something thin. You can simply turn them around the restrictions and slow down from the axis. At this time, there are a lot of varieties of panels. On one of their part, the arrow drive is attached on the main board, and on the other - on the basis of the plexiglass.

After that, it is necessary to gently remove the insert from the plexiglass. Wear it from the edge and just tear off. The sticky layer should not be contaminated or erased. Insert needs to flip and put on a clean surface. With the help of a blade we erase green spraying, which is noticeable in the area of \u200b\u200bnumbers. Now you can collect plexiglas and insert.

How to change the color of the scale of instruments from the car VAZ

It is necessary to take a piece of plastics and scissors. Cut out the contours in such a way that the plastic will fit into the bulk. Also cut out space for arrows drives. Next, we apply marking for LEDs. For fuel you need three LEDs, for temperature - four. Then set the instrument panel for each scale.

Now, guided by markups, make holes for LEDs and resistance. This can be done by a hot seer or a small drill. The top of the LED should be drowning, as the lens is mounted for the focus of the beam. It is important not to damage the light element itself. LEDs should be soldered in parallel with each other and consistently with resistance.

How to install LEDs instead of incandescent lamps on the car panel VAZ

First, the base of the LEDs must be inserted into the housing and display the connection wires. Next, we make an insert from the plexiglass with the body. Plexiglas should be inserted tightly. From the opposite side, we screw in four screws. Then install the fee. Carefully, the pins of the wires from the arrows should not be brought. Next, we fasten with self-draws or screws. Now we solder to the power supply of any regular lamp power LEDs. We put on the arrows and exhibit them on zero.

How to make the backlight of the arrows of the instruments on the car VAZ

To do this, you will need:

1. Fluorescent marker.
2. Super glue or glue moment.
3. Not power wires.
4. Ultraviolet light bulb.
5. Insert in the instrument panel of the desired model.
