the clocks on my cossie are very dim, the adjuster is on full brightness.

the banana pod clocks are dim too.

the speedo is the lightest bit, is there anything to replace or is this
just what happens over time, my mates cossie has very bright clocks

it has done more miles and is an older car so i dont know why mine
are like this

Cant get the invertor from Fords though, and there are two versions!

Got mine from someone off here so just ask around.

This is the thread where you asked about it for your mate ...

As Lee said though cant get them any longer...

cheers, he still aint sorted his, but mine are only dim,

his dont work full stop, is that caused by the same invertor?

 

One thing that might make a slight difference, I noticed I couldn't see my oddometer reading at night and assumed because of the way they light up you couldn't see them.. untill I went in Franco's one which was lite up! So taking the dash surround there is a bulb aswell and since fitting it is a bit brighter

 

If ford have stopped doing the inverters you should be able to use one from another supplier.

Halfords sell EL inverters for their neon EL range of stuff. They're only a fiver and with a bit of modificiation should run a set of cossie EL clocks no problem.

 

just ordered a brand new invertor from ford

 

Interesting..... i don't think you can see my odometer at night either.....

 

Was going to say, they are still available from ford. A mate had this problem and he pick one up from fords.

AJC: How much was it out of interest.

 

I had one on order at Quickco in Borehamwood and Fords in Colindale but neither turned up after about 4 months so I gave up!

turned out they did not have one, and if they did

it would of been £102

 

HI DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE INVERTOR CONTROLS THE DIMMER? MY CLOCKS KEEP DOING THE ON-OFF ANOYING THING. THEY SOMETIMES COME BACK ON IF YOU MOVE THE DIMMER. IS THIS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE NACKERED INVERTOR? THANKS ( PITCH BLACK DRIVER)
