ahh, middle aged. Mine only just went over 30, in fact mine went to the exact 30000 just as I got to the MOT test place last week. The MOT tester was convinced that my speedo must be seized  :icon_lol:

Sorry to say... it's real. :icon_cry: Not sure if I should put it on a pedestal or drive it off a cliff?

Post up which cliff and you'll likely find a qeue at the bottom of it  :rfl
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Is she getting hot flashes yet?

On a more serious note.  What are you running for a lamp in the tach?  All the LEDs I have come across don't spread the light out that well to the higher rpms.

I stuck some LEDs I found on eBay a couple of years ago. I think that's why JayDub thinks I paintbrush'ed it. :*&* I'll see if I can find out what they were... :thumbsup

----------------------------------------

I found some like the ones I used. They look the same... and they have 4 LED's in them.

Yeah I have LEDs as well but the ones for the tach and the clock look like your 4 light versions there and just don't send nearly as much light to the right side of the gauge.  Still light years better than the stock bulb but 7-10grand is a good bit darker.

I also managed to get a snap at exactly 50K. Can't remember when it was though.

My girl hit 25 today.  Guess it is time to trade her in on a younger model. :bug_eye
