MYK Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Grabbed a set of sports m dials. Was going to get mook to knock up a set pretty much exactly the same but with mph instead of KMPH. Anyway. Mook was under the impression that their should be fog light warning lights for the MOT. Their certainly isn't on these though.... Also a lot of the other symbols are missing, but guess that's because the sports m doesn't have the features that the facelifts did. Here's what I mean... As an addition their IS space for an LED behind where the fogs should go, but no LED in it. Guess it hasn't been asked before if this LED can be added in?

ScottChester Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 .... because they don't have fog lights when they leave the factory in many cases That's why alot of imports have ugly rear fogs hanging off brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Imports don't have a fog light warning symbol So if a gen 7 is an import how does it pass the UK MOT without the fog warning lights in the center console? .... because they don't have fog lights when they leave the factory in many cases That's why alot of imports have ugly rear fogs hanging off brackets Thats fair enough. But. Their is a place to solder on the LED behind the dials (their is a free space that has the solder already on it). Would this work if I soldered the SMT on?

Zorg Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 As long as the fog light switch has a light indicating it's on when switched on. So with that dash as it is and if your fog light switch don't have a light then you'd likely to fail MOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Their is a space behind where the foglight should be, and its actually marked on the dials at the back but as an import wont have been put in. Also a space for the SMT to be soldered onto the board but no SMT in place. Think the best thing to do would be to strip it down and mount the correct LEDs and see if they come on as they're supposed to. Then get the dials made accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadlebag Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Neither my gen 7 import or my gen 6 import have fog light indicator light. I think it's only the rear fog light that needs a tail tell light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 No Front or Rear foglight indication on these... I've asked mook to send over the SMT's to begin with, I'll fit them and see if they actually light up and then get the dials made up to suit Didnt think it would be this much hassle! But then again who can say they have custom sports M dials... (probably going to get a lot of backlash for doing it mind!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 You can just add a light somewhere with a fog symbol next to it, that comes on when the fog light is on - only needed for the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYK Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 If I get custom dials made I'll be able to have the fog symbol added where it should be - but not sure if it would illuminate when the fogs are on or not yet... I'd rather not be adding extra lights to the dash that aren't on the dials though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYK Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Decided against it. Though still waiting for my dials off mook :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
