Hi.
Can anyone help me with how to sort the speedo needle light on my gen 4.
Everything works as it should, just the needle doesn’t light up like the rev needle does.
Is in an easy fix?
Cheers.

There used to be a write up that Pushki did for this but sadly it is now a broken link - all i can find is this:
firstly the speedo needle doesn’t light up. This has never bothered me as you can still see the needle and tell what speed you going. It’s a relatively easy fix by taking a feed off the rev counter needle, but involves a little time and patience and I simply never got round to it.

Hey guys, I'm still lurking.
I can't give a detailed write-up but here's a picture showing where to solder the wires.
