    Yeah I had to do the same with the s60R cluster into the XC90 with the cutting and stuff.

    You just soldered to the wire on the bulb correct?

     

    Hows everything BTW, since I dont have a Facebook I never get to BS with you anymore LOL... Hows Derek?

    Hey man! All good on my end.  Things are good on the homefront. Fixing up this house and stuff, actually I think this weekend I might be looking into a P3 T5 AWD S60 hopefully. I'd do the R Design but it's just a bit out of my budget. 

    Derik is good, he's rolling with an 04 XC90 2.5T AWD right now, but the AWD is finnicky and I can't figure out the issue, but it's related to the yaw sensor. so irritating. Other than that he's good!  slaving away for corporate america lol

    @Ghost Shadow @T5power or anyone else who may know I need your stereo wiring and xc90 wiring expertise.

    I installed s60r faces and outer bezel in my 09 xc90. I need to find a wire or a way too hook up the leds in the top of the cluster so I can see my speed at night as well as dim them.

    Corey I tagged you because didnt you do this in your s80?

    Hey man! So sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Work has been crazy busy. 

     

    Yeah I put the S80 Executive Gauges in my XC90. I had to end up re-using some parts of the S80 cluster and cut off the lower tabs to make it work. I can't remember why but it was pretty simple to figure out. As for the LED's, I wired them into the bulbs in the headlight switch, so the LED's would come on with the parking lights. One of my favorite mods I've done was the Executive gauges.

    Can the spedo, tach needles be a different color than the rest of the dash?

    yes, provided you have the time and ability to remove the needles, remove the existing red luminescent paint on said needles, and apply luminescent paint on the needles too. it's not too terribly difficult but definitely more involved. this would also work only with certain colors too, like white background with red needles, etc considering the same light that lights up the gauges also lights up the needles as well.

    I think up in the dash it has a F  fitting or something along those lines. 

    Are there even any wires for CC on a 98? Wires at the pedals that is. 

    CC runs off vacuum in the older cars (not sure about the 99+) so aside from the turn signal wiring where the CC controls are, the remainder of the system is up by the battery(just below the battery)

    Do you know corey from volvospeed? Pretty chill dude

    Yeah he's cool. He needs a radiator for an N/A Auto though.

    I used to do business with Mike when he was at VAC, one company I drove for. Good guy and his E46 is pristine.

    That's awesome. Small world. I'll tell him you said hey! He actually brought the E46 in today. thing is immaculate!

    Huge dock workers strike up and down west coast

    Boats are stacking up like cord wood

    The frt companies are passing on huge surcharges to quoted frt

    It's fucking the shit out my company

    It's so bad it's affecting east coast now

    I'm a pro Union guy but this is solely a result of Union tactics

    Dude, right? I work for a Distributor for a lot of performance auto stuff that gets manufactured in Japan (mostly Enkei and Invidia over there) but it's crazy. ordering 350k in auto parts, and not getting them for 6+ months. thankfully orders from europe aren't as bad, but it's just crazy.
