Yes.
i doubt the trip would effect the actual mileage because it obviously doesn't go up 999 miles every time u reset it :thumb:
There is no effect against the actual odometer, when adjusting your tripmeter knob/display.

actually, I've noticed it too. Resetting the tripmeter can cause the tenths digit on the odometer to roll slightly forward.. like.. one little click... it's not a big deal, but I noticed it too.

does anyone else's speedo cable come unscrewed once in a while? its happened to me twice, i put it on as tight as i can but it still came off... :dunno_white:
Yeah, I had to replace mine- it came of twice, and the second time it dragged on the pavement for miles.
I was going to try loctite on it, but had misgivings, and "Sledge" here suggested I use teflon plumber's tape wrapped around the gauge threads. I did it for both the tach and speedo, and never had a problem since, but I can still easily unscrew them if I need to. I recently did the LED dash mods, and took it all apart, no problem, put fresh tape on, and they're still tight.
pretty sure i have some of that tape laying around somewhere :thumb:. what color did u make the gauges? i did em blue but i didn't change the indicators yet.

Well, since you asked the direct question, I guess I'll have to 'fess up...
For the gauges I bought both red and blue LEDs, not knowing which way I'd go. I went with these (http://autolumination.com/194.htm), the top ones on the page. Tried out both colors.. both seemed plenty bright for the gauge (and both seemed like they could use some help for the needles). If I had to go with one, it would have been blue, but at least for the moment, I went with blue on the speedo, and red on the tach.
I sort of like the dual-color look, and it's certainly eye-catching.
hmm i never thought of doing something like that. sounds like it looks pretty cool. :thumb:

As thousands of others have noted, it's hard to get a decent pic in a garage with the backwash from the headlight, but this might give an idea:

:laugh: No, it works fine for both. For the turn signal and neutral light I used WLED-x6 bulbs, like a lot of other folks, from here:

Actually, I was trying to get the high beam indicator dimmer than that, it's a single-emmitter blue LED from eBay. It is dimmer than the rest, but not that much. I bet I'd be the only one ever to try to return one because it's too bright, though. ;)
damn i bet those are the ones that won't fit in the +04 models huh, ill do a quick search but im pretty sure that was the case.

Yeah, sorry.. the '02 shares the larger indicator bulbs with the earlier models.
