The instrument panel is one of the important elements of the cabin, which the driver draws attention during the ride. Her tuning is always striking. We will tell about the principles and basic ways to improve the panel.

In modern foreign cars there is a whole range of instruments and sensors, including small displays.

How can I pull the instrument panel

I immediately want to say that the borders of the tuning of the instrument panel are limited only by your fantasy, taste and color to choose only you. But nevertheless, in most part, you can select the replacement of standard lighting, adding the lighting of the sensors, arrows and other components.

In addition to lighting, you can change the appearance of the panel, adding special stickers to the instruments. Thus, the appearance of the instrument panel will be changed. Some motorists manage to independently do similar stickers by printing on a laser printer, on self-adhesive paper.

The third method and the most expensive, it is a complete replacement of the instrument panel for tunned. Most often it can be completely different device location, multi-colored backlight, the presence of additional devices. The most modern is considered to install a large display instead of analog instruments, but such pleasure will cost a lot of money.

LED-based devices backlight

It does not rarely, it happens that the dull factory illumination of the instrument panel mixes the instrument records or they are not visible at all. Also, due to such a backlight, the driver's eye tired, which can lead to an accident.

The most advanced way is the LED backlight based on ribbons. First, they are easy to buy in any auto shop, and secondly, quickly and easily install. The first thing we need to remove the instrument panel, depending on the brand and car model, the panel is removed in different ways, so we will not describe unscrewing and removing the panel.

Now removing the panel, we spin it to the base, so it can be easily accessible to standard lighting. As a rule, in passenger cars power 12V, the same nutrition and LED tape.

Next, it is worth friends with a soldering iron, you will need to remove the regular light bulbs and solder the LED ribbon in their place. You can use two small wiring as a fastener of the soldering, but not very thin, due to the load can overcome.

It is advisable to arrange the LED tape evenly over the entire surface. As practice shows, it is better to solder a few short-lived tapes than one long, and the probability of combustion is less, and there will be no load on one nutrition.

If you do not be friends with a soldering iron, then it will be better to turn to experienced, as you need to be neat and tonny, the slightest closure can burn the entire instrument panel.

After all the ribbons soldered, you should check the instrument panel and turn on the backlight, if everything is done correctly, all tapes will glow. The ribbons themselves can be attached using bilateral tape, thus, the backlight will be distributed evenly to all devices. It remains only to collect everything in the reverse order, spin the instrument panel and enjoy.

Film instead of LEDs

You can consider the use of a film instead of LEDs or LED tapes in a simpler way. The advantage of this method is the simplicity and smaller costs. Getting started similar as in the previous case. It is worth unscrew and remove the instrument panel, then disassemble it to the base where the backlight is located. Now the procedure begins to be different. Typically, the factory illumination of white (in domestic cars), and the color changes due to the film on the instruments on the reverse side.

The transparent film, the brighter there will be the backlight of the devices, depending on the color of the film there will be the backlight of the instruments. The principle is constructed in such a way that light from the standard backlight passes through the film, thereby changing the color and highlighting the devices.

Here, as they say, the colors will be limited to your fantasy, you can make numbers of the same color, the arrows of the other, and the third line. Some amateurs are screwed down by sandpaper, zero, the base of instruments on the reverse side (from the backlight), so that the figures and indicators seem brighter. The film can be used as a special, it is also sold in the auto shops and find themselves on their own with infirred materials. It can be considered a big plus that no changes to the electronics will be made, which means there can be no closure.

Glue sticker on dashboard

In addition to the above induced methods regarding the change in the color of the backlight, you can change the appearance, that is, the image of the instruments as the driver will see them.

To do this, most often use special stickers. To do this, it is necessary to disassemble the instrument panel and get to the substrate to the appliances on which the values \u200b\u200band numbers are applied.

It is worth remembering that stickers are sold under each model, the brand and year of the car being released separately. With example, there may be the same car, brand and model, even the year of release, and the instrument panel is different. In one there will be a tachometer, there is no one in the other. Therefore, stickers should be selected very carefully.

Before glue, sample superficially to the factory panel, is suitable for fasteners, there is nothing interferes for smooth stickers. If the old coating can be removed, then it is better to do this, the new sticker will look much cute. Now, when everything came up the surface to be glued to wipe the degreaser. Stick one side, and pressing the sticker slowly delay the protective layer. It is planted to smooth out so that there was no air under the sticker, otherwise it will fall back from the surface in a few months.

After the procedures have passed, you can collect everything back and mounted mounting to see how efficiently the instrument panel has improved. Next, we collect everything in the reverse order by setting the panel to the laid place.

Change the instrument panel to a new

As we previously remembered, in addition to induced methods, there is still the most expensive, but also the highest quality option, it is a complete replacement of the instrument panel. Now in the mode of the instrument panels, which are based on a large display instead of analog instruments.

Even on domestic cars, you can install such a miracle and the panel will acquire a modern look. When choosing it is necessary to remember all the parameters of your car, as even different engines can play a role in choosing. Such a panel allows you to fully adjust the devices to your taste, their location, backlight and other parameters. In short, do everything to taste the driver. Below we have a video example of the operation of such a panel of instruments by car VAZ 2114.

This technology is based on a large display on the entire instrument panel, a micicaputer based on Android and a set of devices, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.

Such a replacement is usually short-lived, but costly, so before you think about whether you need it or just for beauty.

Price tuning instrument panel

The cost of parts may depends on what you want to get as a result. For an example, a 10-15-minute LED tape will cost about $ 1-2, if they take a color film, then the costs are less or at all can be found at home in the garage.

Well concerns the display instead of the instrument panel, then on the same VAZ 2114 it will cost $ 300-400. But still, it all depends on the modification, installed software and a set of additional functions of such an instrument panel. On average, the replacement of the entire panel takes a couple of hours.

Video Interactive Display on VAZ 2114:

The dashboard is a multifunctional element of the car, which is always in plain by the driver. It contains the main control and measuring instruments. Light shows, in what mode of operation function the main automobile units. As a rule, the design of the panel is decorated in factory parameters that do not always fit harmoniously in. Tuning dashboard will help to make the vehicle driver not only original, but also more convenient to use.

Decorative Tuning Method

Performing changes in the design of this machine detail, it is necessary to ensure a harmonious combination of the finished product with a common interior of the cabin. The finishing design should fully fulfill all the requirements of passive security. Most car owners want to replace the usual panel to a new one. That is why we will tell us in the article about the most interesting methods of improving this detail of the machine.

The method of decorative tuning is performed with the addition of external details to the main element. Such details can be:

• leatherette for tosing the panel;
• lining;
• using bright colors for device scales.

To fully fulfill all operations of the decorative way, it is necessary to partially or fully disassemble the car dashboard.

Color change

1. To replace the color on the instrument scale, you need to remove the dimensions with the old.
2. Next, a blank is made of a new scale. Figures and divisions are applied to it. In this case, you can use a computer program with graphic functions. It will contribute to the process of making a beautiful workpiece for which you can choose the font you like, and it will help to adjust the size of the inscriptions.
3. The resulting pattern is applied to the harvested material, which is intended for the new scale. For this, such materials will be suitable - plastic, self-adhesive film, photographic paper, color tape, vinyl film.
4. In a situation where the tachometer or speedometer is enhanced it is necessary before installing the improved scale to remove the measurement arrow, and then put it back.

It should be remembered that the dashboard tuning with their own hands is a process of long, requiring patience and care.

Tights are used in the loss of the coating of the initial type and presence on the surface of obvious defects. Using the dermatin to cover it, hold it on the size and forms of the product. It is necessary that the material is not going to the fold and not stretched. The qualitative performance of the process is possible only when the panel is removed.On the removed product of the seams and joints will be obtained more neat. An ordinary cardboard can act as cutting. Making a cutting, check how all parts are combined into one. All board elements are sewn into a single product. We do it so that all seams are hidden inside. The final fixation of the crosslied dermatin is made with the help of special glue and original self-tapping screws.

Special attention requires the selection of material. Choose your favorite cut does not mean that it will fully comply with the functional parameters. Some materials can create glare under the influence of sunlight. Others will highlight an unpleasant smell into the salon or lose their properties under the influence of elevated temperatures.

Technical Tuning method

Under technical species implies the improvement of this detail of the machine in the direction of increasing its functional parameters. An exemplary example of such work can be replaced by standard forms and dimensions of control devices, installation of bright and economical LEDs instead of incandescent lamps, installation of various switches and appliances. Icons on the dashboard can also be part of a common tuning.

To perform the process at a high-quality level, it is necessary to visually have a panel scheme in front of them and clearly understand what result you want to get. Such a setting of the problem is needed in order to properly connect additional consumers to the onboard network.

Installing LEDs

Installation of LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs is the most common method of technical tuning. To perform this process, you need to do the following:

1. First of all, the instrument panel is removed.
2. Factory cartridges and lamps are removed.
3. The places where LED lamps will be installed. As a rule, they are placed all over the perimeter of the devices.
4. A shade that will give LED lamps should create comfortable driving conditions, not straining with vision. He simultaneously should not be too bright in the dark and be well noticeable with the onset of twilight.
5. A hole is drilled in which the LED housing is placed.
6. LEDs are connected to a soldering. This uses a flexible wire of a small thickness.
7. The use of an alternating resistor will allow adjustment of the brightness of the lighting of the instruments. In some models it can be used by a regular row.
8. LED light bulbs in the dashboard can be installed white. The desired shade can be obtained using a light filter. To do this, you can use such imaging agents like nail polish, self-adhesive paper or transparent plastic, which was part of old appliances.
9. Soldering LEDs to feed wires, connect them to the dashboard. It is performed in the desired polarity.
10. If with different illumination lamps work well, then you can collect everything.

Illuminated arrows

The shooter of the arrows can be carried out by fastening the LED lamps on the plexiglass of the backlight. If you feed food from a red block, you can make the backlight of the arrows separately from the entire product. The key feature of such a connection will shoot the arrows when starting. By installing the LED next to the arrow, it will be possible to change the color of the arrow itself while rolling the speed of the car.

Now you know all the basic methods Improving the appearance of the machine dashboard. Making this detail of the car, you can significantly improve the design of the cabin and increase the comfort of the driver while using the vehicle.

The dashboard is an important component in any machine. However, car manufacturers are not particularly bored above the design of this part. Most often, they use standard, black and white, coloring, in which it is impossible to consider the main indicators of gasoline and speed in the dark. When it is necessary to think about the brighter and clear backlight, making the dashboard tuning.

Dashboard tuning varieties

In order to make the dashboard tuning with their own hands, you need to know about some subtleties.

It happens two varieties:

• functional;
• aesthetic.

Function tuning is designed to replace some devices to more accurate. Either adding new to the already existing. This type of finish provides for the addition of data on technical specifications, as well as the general condition of the machine and all devices. In addition, the current tuning fully provides for the presence of a meteometer or original hours.

Aesthetic, in turn, assumes only the change in the backlight and decorating the appearance of the set of devices. How it will look, you can see here at this link:

Tuning Requirements

Attention! When adding new devices, it is necessary to consider such a nuance as calibration. It implies a malfunction of all systems. For its lack, all new devices are better installed on the top of the dashboard.

Thus, fulfilling all the requirements, it remains for small - to prepare the necessary materials and make tuning instrument equipment.

Stages tuning

Tuning dashboard for each model of the machine is organized equally, with the exception of small subtleties and nuances.

Before starting work, you must prepare the entire set of tools:

• passatia, screwdriver, screws;
• sharp knife;
• all wiring used in tuning4
• soldering iron.

This is the main arsenal that is required at any type of tuning. Those tools that you need are added to this list when choosing one of the types of finishes.

Important! If you are going to add unusual devices or backlight, you should take care of the acquisition of those materials that can help you in the dashboard.

After preparing all the necessary, you can move to the work itself.

Disassembling dashboard

During this procedure, it is necessary to act extremely carefully. Disassembly dashboard is carried out equally.

Functional and aesthetic tuning

After performing these actions, you can proceed to the next part of the disassembly. It is necessary to cut the dashboard. For this:

• unscrew the screws that hold the shield;
• all wires are disconnected;
• screws holding nozzles;
• disconnect buttons recycling and automatic alarm;
• at the very end, the immobilizer is removed.

It is going to all in the reverse order.

Tuning options are quite a lot, therefore you can use either one of the options as, for example, in this video:

either all at once.

Function tuning

With this form of tuning, some elements of aesthetic are used. To begin with, you should deal with the dashboard scale.

For this there is no need to disassemble or get something. It is enough to draw a small stencil on the film, which passes on the old indicators.

Attention! So that the indicators are glowing, you can use special fluorescent paint. Or you can use ordinary paint.

After you figured out the scale, you can go to the installation of instruments on the panel. To do this, disassemble the panel until the wires appear. Then they are installed those devices that you need.

Aesthetic tuning

After all the instruments were installed, you can go to the backlight finish. Options for such an action point Great. Everyone includes a fantasy in this case and does it as he wants. Here are two exemplary backlight finishing options.

Option 1.

Option 2. You can replace light bulbs on LEDs. This is done like this:

1. The old film is cleared or becomes new. What kind of choose is to solve you.
2. It passes on the dashboard directly on the light bulb.
3. Painted in green. This is if the transparent film is acquired or when using old. However, it is best to purchase ready-made, green, film.
4. A red shade is cleaned with the shooter, and the numbers themselves are painted with white varnish or paint.

There are also other options. All depends on your imagination and ingenuity.

Installing dashboard

After tuning has been fully spent, you need to install the dashboard in place. It should be done not only carefully, but also right. When this work is performed, it is important to make sure that all wires are properly connected, and the devices function correctly.

In case of proper execution of all actions, your car dashboard flashes with new paints. At the same time, the tuning made by you will not differ from the one that is being done in the car service. The main difference between the two ways is to you it will cost much less money and time than in the work of specialists. And, in addition, with an independent finish, you can organize a free flight of fantasy.

Many motorists are not satisfied with the backlight of their dashboard in the evening and at night. But the poor quality illumination or its complete lack of negatively affects the safety of the road. Therefore, many craftsmen do it with their own hands, making additional coverage of their car. And first of all covers the dashboard.

Very often, for these purposes, LEDs that have a lot of advantages and allow you to create with our own hands high-quality lighting inside the car's cabin. This article will tell you how it is possible to get a type of backlight and nuances in the dashboard, which should be observed in this situation.

Why do you need additional backlight?

Today, the car tuning is carried out not only outside, but also inside his cabin and better space than the dashboard is not found. Diodes built into the panel will allow the following positive points:

• give the dashboard a new unusual look;
• high quality highlight important elements of the dashboard;
• make additional lighting of the vehicle cabin;
• make a trip by car more comfortable;
• increase road safety. When the instrument panel is well lit, all indicators are perfectly visible on it that allow you to correctly appreciate the position of the car on the road and not to break the road traffic rules.

The easiest way to illuminate such an element of the machine, as the dashboard is to install diodes into it. Here you can use the following types of LED products:

• separate diodes. Using them as a backlight, you can create a full or decorative dashboard lighting. It is worth noting that the LEDs can glow with different colors. Therefore, such LED backlight can be beautifully complemening the external tuning, lighting with it in one color scheme;

Note! Additional lighting of the dashboard created using such diodes allows you to integrate them in almost any part of the board. As a result, the backlight will most fully meet the requirements of the car owner and give lighting where it really has a need.

• lED Strip Light. Such a tape is very often used as a decorative backlight not only car, but also home premises or street elements. It can be easily replaced with another, which will change the boning color gamut on the new one. The LED tape has a self-adhesive basis, with the help of which its installation with its own hands is carried out quite easily and quite quickly.

LED Strip Light

Despite the ease of working with the LED ribbon, most often diodes use diodes for illumination. This choice is associated with certain advantages of using this type of backlight.

Why LED backlight is preferable

At the moment, the market of lighting devices exist a wide variety of products that can be used to illuminate any car brand.

Note! Not every brand of the car actually needs this type of lighting. Some manufacturers already at the production stage include high-quality LED backlight in the dashboard. Usually this situation is characteristic of expensive foreign cars.

Dashboard Production Backlight

But in most vehicles, there is no such additional lighting or is defective. Especially this situation is relevant for old models that were manufactured in those times when the LED backlight has not yet heard.
Choosing a LED lighting type, car owners are guided by the following positive moments of such illumination:

• diodes of such a plan have small dimensions, which allows them to be installed anywhere in the dashboard. At the same time, they are easily massaged;
• easy Relube LEDs for different connections to each other. Moreover, if the Reloika LED tape is performed, this procedure is carried out according to certain rules that are characteristic and for working with individual diodes;
• even a small number of diodes installed on the panel can create a full type of lighting, sufficient for a comfortable driving of the car;

Pay attention! With such elements, you can make a backlight even alarm.

• the ability to make not only white, but also color backlight. Diodes can give beautiful and frequent glow of green, yellow, red, purple, green or blue. At the same time, from the replacement for a new color is possible in the future and will not require excessive effort from car owner;

Glow of LEDs

• this type of lighting consumes the minimum amount of electricity, which is very important for the car and its alarm running from the battery.

In this case, the installation of diodes is not very complex. Here you just need to correctly connect the elements of the lighting system. With such work, almost any person will be able to cope with their own hands.

Features of the LED backlighting

LED light bulb

Using LED backlighting for a car, you can use diode light bulbs with a standard basement. In this way, you can highlight the instrument buttons on the panel. In a situation where several devices should be highlighted at once, the LED light bulb placed in a special cartridge should be used for high-quality lighting. This requires a special dressing. But you can just buy in the store or on the market.

In addition, light bulbs that give a narrow light stream can be used to illuminate the car dashboard and its alarm. It can be obtained from a conventional light bulb by applying a special diffuser (lenses) for lighting. Thus, in the first situation, the lighting will be pointing, and in the second - the light flux will fall at a certain angle.
When organizing the backlight of the buttons, you can use light sources with a directional light stream. But for the lighting of the Speedometer and Alarm panel, you should give preference to the light bulbs giving a large dispersion angle. Although it can already be left on an individual avoidance of the car owner.

How to organize the shooter backlight

Very often in the car you need a backlight of the instrument panel arrows.

Illumination of the arrow of the device

In a situation where you need to install the diode lighting of the arrows on the dashboard, you must do the following manipulations:

• we carry out the stripping of the arrow's paint from three sides. Painting stripping is held below the arrows and on its sides;
• after that, the stripped surfaces should be painted with a stationery white stroke or white nail polish. You can also use the usual white paint, but it will be a little more about it;

Note! The tip of the arrows into white will help increase the light effect.

Speed \u200b\u200bspeedometer arrows

• after that, we take three LEDs. They need to be soldered in each other.
• spared LEDs should be placed in the dashboard. It is pre-drilled in it to drill holes for installing diodes and masking wires.

After that, they connect to the power source and your arrow glows by the touch as the color of the LEDs were selected.
Some craftsmen make the backlight of the arrow in such a way that it can change the color depending on the change in the speedometer readings. To organize such a backlight, you need to use diodes of three different colors:

• green;
• red;
• blue.

These colors are standard. Remember that for each arrow you need to use three diodes in the sequence in which you want to get a glow. Thus, the light stream will be sufficient for high-quality illumination of the metric part of the instrument.

Finished backlight arrows

Usually, the minimum indicators use a green color, and for the maximum - red. Diodes should be placed under each arrow in the circle of its movement.

Organization of backlighting the stove control buttons

The second in popularity in the organization in the organization of the dashboard lighting in the car is the backlight buttons control the stove.

Foil reflector

Organization of backlighting the buttons of the console intended for controlling the stove is as follows:

• at first, we remove the handles as well as the glass from the control unit;
• we make a foil reflector. It will need to be fixed under the shot with glass;
• then we carefully unscrew the bottom of the bottom. Under it, a cartridge with an old light source, which is subject to replacement;
• we replace the old light bulb on the LED;

Note! Under the bottom of the console, you can install the LED tape. It, due to its self-adhesive basis, it will easily take the necessary position. In this situation, it will be connected by its wires through the cartridge. Here the main observance of the polarity of the wires otherwise the LED tape will not glow.

• after installing the LED, we return all parts of the console to the previous place in the reverse sequence.

Ready backlight console

The easiest way to create a backlight involves the following manipulations:

• take the button from the console;
• disassemble it to the components of the elements;
• inside such a button there should be a light bulb that changes to the LED;
• if there is a need, a light filter can be removed from the button or combine it with a new glow of the diode. As a result, you can get a new beautiful and unique hue.

As you can see, the backlight of the console designed to control the stove in the car is fairly easy.

Combined instrument lighting

To implement this type of lighting, you need to stock type:

• double sided tape;
• lED in the cartridge (three pieces);
• foil.

In order to remove the dashboard, you need to clarify the removal steps with the instruction that is attached to the vehicle. The algorithm of actions here has the following form:

• removing the instrumental combination;
• gently turn away the speedometer cable and disconnect all available plugs;
• in the upper part of the dashboard, the backlight sources should be placed - three light bulbs. Also here will be a green light filter. It can be removed or left;
• a light bulb is replaced on the LEDs and install the foil diffuser. It is fixed with the help of bilateral scotch.

Finished backlight dashboard

After that, it remains only to collect all the details of the panel and install them in the previous places.

Note! In any case, the organization of the backlight can be calmly experimenting with the colors of LEDs to get the most beautiful type of glow.

Conclusion

In order to carry out the replacement of the dashboard lighting, you can use both separate LEDs and a whole LED tape. In this case, the backlight can be carried out as a separate part of the console and its entire area. The main thing is to connect diodes and ribbon correctly, without confusing the polarity of the wires.
