Factory clock - replaced to change color

Finally found a replacement clock for the 80 that was blue

The button is for setting the time. I ran it into the glove box so it was hidden.


This is the inside of the factory clock

Cut a hole in the back to flush mount the display to the front plastic bit.


Green = negative. Wired that to E(-)
Red = constant power. Wired that to B(+)
Black = switched power. Wired that tp ACC(+)

All are marked on the back of the clock. With the wires soldered to the pins inside, the factory plug is still used. The dimmer is not supported with this model....maybe later I'll figure out a way to make that work too.
You can see in this pic the H M :00 was removed and the plastic polished with plastic polish.


Used an old soldering iron to plastic weld the two together using the part I cut out as filler.

Looks nice...it is so hard to read the stock clock with any amount of sunlight interference. Good mod
