Hey all,

I have a GREDDY turbo timer in my car right now. Normally the display lights up blue. Since everything else on my dash lights up red, the blue sticks out.

So I decided to get an HKS Type-0 turbo timer because in all the pictures of it that i've seen, it lights up red.

Now i'm reading the instructional manual, and it says that it lights up blue normally, but when its counting down, it lights up red.


so i'm like F*CK!!!


So i'm wondering, is there ANYWAY to make either one of these light up red normally, instead of blue?


let me know.

thanks

 

Well after looking at it closely, i realized that they sent me a TYPE-1 instead of the TYPE-0 that I ordered.



Does anyone know if they BOTH light up blue? Or does the TYPE-0 in fact light up red?

 

I dont OWN it... but I remember reading the type-0 is red like you wanted... hopefully someone can chime in.

 

You either have to goto the speed menu or voltage menu and you can change the color from there. I have a greddy... and made it glow red. When it's not timing down it will sit on red. Just keep playng with it... lol That's how I figured it out It won't stay red on any of the count down choices... like P1, P2, L or H. You have to goto voltage or speed. Hope that helps

 

CnGEvO8: so you're saying basically, to stay on another 'screen' while i'm driving, to make it glow red. Righ?

 

riiiiight.. you don't to look at the time while driving anyways...

 

If u have any other questions.... get me on AIM... I see you have it to. It's hard to talk on here CnGsEvo8

 

so they sent you the more expensive one? sell it, cash out and buy the type-0 again.

 

I'm not really looking to make money on it lol.. I j/want one that glows red. I contacted the seller, see what they can do for me.

 

my HKS type 0 is red for what its worth.

 

Shortly I will be purchasing the Type 0 HKS as well. Just go to HKS's website.

 

the type 1 is more expwnsive cuz it has more functions and its newer. This glows blue. THe type 0 has less functions, its cheaper. This glows orange/red. It doesnt really match the stock lights.

 

better than blue though I assume? lol

So then it's CONFIRMED that it glows red?


i'm gonna give HKS a call tomorrow to just to be on the safe side, lol shoulda thought of that before..

 

type 0 red and switches to red and orange on countdown..

 

Just got off the fone with HKS USA, they said the same thing.

type-0 red
type-1 blue


thanks for your help guys!
