Panel opinion

Hi

Wondering if I can get ur opinions please

Got a centre panel for the top dashboard satnav cubby hole , got a dual battery voltage meter which will show me a lot more accurate than the lights from the T max

The T max I’ll just use some Velcro to secure that in the plate

Just had to trim the switch down a little bit

Now, I also got a small sheet of plastic which I’m thinking if I should cover the plate with, to also hide the screws up and wondering what u thinks please if I should fit that plastic panel , it has a Matt finish and textured

Many thks as always , the 2 x other spare switches I may fit a 3.5mm aux connection there

Appreciated as always , bow

Hi

The T max black box is for my dual battery set up, allows me to link the battries togther with the press of a button if the main battery ever goes flat

The other switch there will display in volts what each battery is producing

Found the old broken window clip worked a treat to secure the T max box to the bracket

Hi Pete

It’s just if the lights on the new top panel are too bright of a night time , wondering if it might be easier to just incorporate an off/ on switch to keep it simple so can can just turn it off if I want to

Just wondered how the dimmer switches worked and that would be ideal if the lights in that panel could all be dimmed in the same way the instrument panel can

Just trying the best I can to cover everything before installing , will be pre wiring most of it before hand

Yeh i know making it complicated Laughing

If you don’t normally dim the dash it isn’t going to help you ?

If your cigar lighter has illumination try wiring it to that.
