Yep. Add 6mph for every 10kph. Ie 6mph is 10kph, 12 mph is 20kph, 18mph is 30kph etc.

on the dials mr_charisma is getting MPH = KPH
the MPH numbers are in the EXACT SAME POSITION
as your KPH numbers... no difference... just ignore that it says mph.
mr_charisma's EL dials -
if they were actually MPH it'd read like this -

Hehe, almost had me worried for a sec there about the MPH thing

....
With the LED's being hardwired into the dials, is it possible to change the LED's to RED ones? Cause that would look awesome

(Dunno what I'll do about the 'Red'line ... might have to put some Blue LEDS in there or something

lol .. though 'BLUElining' doesn't have the same ring to it,

) ... Yellowlining??

there aren't any LED's in EL dials...
the wiring goes directly into the face of the dial
and the numbers or symbols are what lights up
(the numbers are the globes / leds) everything else stays dark.
so nope... you can't change the colours on the dials
unless you wanna replace the clear piece of plastic
at the front of your dash display with something coloured,
but then it's gonna look *~dreamy~* during the day

Take the needle off the RPM and start the car ...
Your car should idle at what... Around 900-1,000 rpm ... So put the dial on at that ...
As for the speedo ... Hmmm ... No real idea.. You could try the same, and when the car is started but not moving, point the needle at 0 km/hr .. But I am not too sure about the Petrol and temp ... Petrol could be as easy as full the tank up, drive it home, and adjust the needle so it is at the fullest... The temp one is always going to be a bit harder... You could get a good guess by running the car for a little while (normal warm up time) and adjust the needle so it is pointing close to half way between hot and cold ...

Think Sam had the same problem...
probably the best and quickest way to fix this is to just go some where and get them to set it...
