tachometer advice - Toyota Yaris Forums

alright, got the tach in. it isn't exactly what I wanted but still works well and I am working on the brightness of it (really bright). I plan to mount a pot in the glove box for the illumination wire. that way I can control how bright it is.

there is a DIY that I used on here (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=662)and it was very to the point. one thing I did different was that I actually soldered everything and just tied the power and illumination wires together.

I found the add-a-fuse on amazon for about $3 (though shipping was another $5) still not bad. it doesn't come with fuses though. they are still pretty cheap.
