Purplehaze Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 those meters look pretty nice, but why did you choose to switch from the colorful stinger volt meters? Thanks for checkin it out! That's a very good question. Why would I go from nice $30 Stinger meters to these $6 China meters? Well, it's because of how bright the Stinger's are, and the fact that they didn't work above 16v. These are much easier on the eyes at night, and I like how they go to the hundredth, instead of to the tenth.

Purplehaze Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 what about accuracy? how do the compare to the stinger or a DMM? They are actually very accurate. I set them with a dmm, and they are morre accurate than the Stingers oh I understand, I figured it's because they were too bright, i've seen a lot of people complaining about that and the bass knob lights being too bright haha.

Purplehaze Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 So I started on the center console today. First thing I did was to cut out spots for the 2 switches I have to relocate from the new meter rack Then a lil body filler in the bad spots Then some wet sanding Then some primer Then some black paint for the e brake handle Then some paint Then some clear And now she just has to dry, and tomorrow I'll get it put back in.

LowtherCarAudio Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Are they always on or did you wire them to the ignition. Looking at buying the same ones. What are they?

Ebay? and how did you wire them??? thanks! I wired mine up using relays, so that they would only come on when the ignition is on. That's the only bad part about them, no remote wire. But you can use a relay to turn it on and off, and it works just fine. Yes eBay $5.99 china FTW!
