This evolved out of a comment made about remembering to help out a neighbour on the way home every Monday. I could not resist coming up with a solution.
It was quickly thrown together, over a couple of weekends, using an off the shelf 12V timer that can be set for times and days of the week.
I designed and 3D printed a small binnacle that fits neatly in the corner of a Land Rover Defender TDCi (Puma) dash. It's vaguely in the same style as the rest of the display. I bought some pre-wired 12V LED's and had my choice of colour for the light.
The timer fits on the shelf next to the steering column. As always the longest task was taking the dash apart to find an ignition switched feed and an earth.
I used a Cricut vinyl cutter to make the lettering. It is printed in reverse to apply to some satin translucent plastic sheet. With the light off, the legend is barely visible. The lettering could easily be swapped out.
