koso db02r - making extra symbols
Hi all,
I have just bought a DB02r with the indicator lights. This does not include Brake warning lights or a fog light indicator. Also, the backlight comes
on all the time that the unit is powered. I am thinking of making my own symbols for the light unit by printing them with my inkjet onto acetate.
Has anyone tried this?
Alternatively, I can cut the brake symbol out from my fiesta dash if I have to, and I have an illuminated fog light switch, that just leaves the side
light telltale - has anyone managed to get the backlight to switch with the lights on this model?
Thanks all!
JC

I've often thought about making a display myself using coloured plastic then painting the back black and scraping off the symbols from the back
to reveal light behind. If that makes sense? 
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Well, I got myself some inkjet acetate and downloaded a free vector graphics drawing package from the Internet. I produced the symbols in a large
format and then imported them into a document where it was easy to scale them. The first few attempts were awful but once I worked out the best
printer settings, the results were pretty good. The black is nice and solid but the red and green is a little pale. The solution to this is to feed
them back in with just red or green blocks of colour in a document and then overprint. I am very pleased with the results! I will post some pictures
when I can!
