Battery relocation Done

And this is the fused junction block that I got for the cables up front

Roger if I run this and want to put a turn key style battery cut off switch in the cabin should I place it between the battery leads and the fuse junction, or the fuse and starter?

Can you explain to us what you did with the led's there Pico?

Instead of running cables into the cabin, why dont you just install one of these at the battery

Much easier to do

I don't want to pop the trunk or the hood every time I get out of the car.

I just bought a cheap LED strip and wired it to power so that it powers up with the lights.
I took the instrument cluster cover off and unscrewed the cover with the 2 dash bulbs on it. I soldered it to the wires going to the dash lights so that it works with the dimmer.
I can take pics of it later if you want me to.

It would be easier to locate the wire under the dash that supplies power to the fuse box, splice into that,fuse it and wire the switch to it.
I've never wired up a battery kill switch inside the car

I know the potential for fire is there, so that's why I asked. I haven't located where the trickle or short is yet. It still drops while sitting. I tried pulling fuses for those "retractor motors" but it did nothing. And the battery itself will hold charge when disconnected.

Decided to go with Black Face Gauges instead of White and added a Temp Gauge, Just need to figure where I'm going to place it.

Looking Good

I think it looks good if mounted on the top right of the volt gauge pico

[87roach]

Serious. Why do people quote pictures right after they've been posted? We saw them the FIRST time.

Looking good pico, they match quite nicely with stock. What colour are they when lit?

Thanks,
I have some of the green colored bulb covers at home and I could not see the needle with those on, so for now it just a white light

How are those legend brakes treating you?

Very nice looking. I love that look. I went with glowshift gauges, and placed them in very similar places. Not only does it look awesome, you can read your engines "Heartbeat, Blood pressure" etc. lol.

black faces look way better since they match the oem faces

i dont really like white faces on car gauges for some reason, even cars which come with them standard

They were great, I have the stock brakes back on the car right now. I was having a vibration issue and thought it was the legend rotors.

I had the reverse glow gauges and decided recently that black was a better choice to go with my interior
