I use NORVAC in Salem. They have a ton of everything to build or repair all of my electrical problems. Like what Radio Crap used to be. Ain’t electricity grand.

@Jon Risor: I bought the LEDs at a local electronics parts store called Norvacs Electronics. I suppose I could have ordered them online from someplace like mouser.com too.

@Jon Risor: Which second LED? The one I bought to replace the original?

I’ve had the heads up for about two years and has been pretty good but it is a little pessimistic. I used a volt meter to the battery to double check the real measurement of the voltage. That little LED clip thing is junk. I tossed mine out and just drilled a hole to fit the LED alone but it took a few test hole in scrap plastic to get it right.
BTW; where did you pick up the second LED?

@bobskoot: This one only has one LED as well. The voltage monitor is wired to my ignition-switched fuseblock, so no, it's not on all the time.

Stacy: I must admit that I have had my scorpion LED voltmeter since late last year, still sitting in the packing exactly as I received it. It's the same one that Chris and Charlie6 have, we bought them from the same ebay vendor I was looking at another one from Eastern Beaver, sort of like yours but only ONE led which flashes different colours with having to only drill one hole somewhere inconspicuous, and it too flashed different colours depending upon voltage You are the expert. One question. Is your switchbox switchable ? otherwise it would be on all the time bob Wet Coast Scootin
