  Yah, you can get an LcD stick-on time piece for a few bucks and they keep
perfect time.  You could put em everywhere.  Most have LED lights in em,
too.  Cheap crap, but if you simply must have the time in front of you as
you drive along and you don't already have it on your GPS, your wrist, your
Smart phone and/or somewhere else...stick one (or more) of those little
dorky clocks wherever you  want....and save the extra money you'd spend if
you bought a Jan-U-whine VW factory replacement clock.  Use the savings to
buy some  gasoline and go somewhere fun...  No wires to mess with or fuses
or anything else...

  Recently we were discussing an LCD instrument panel display, were we
not?   There are some very cool wireless GPS large display bicycle
computers that would do that job very well indeed.   You would have to move
your idiot lights somewhere else and get a few gauges for the systems that
come off the motor and cooling system, but speedo, outside temp,
acceleration, gradient, miles traveled, all kinds of those types of
functions, right in front of you on a touch screen format of about  3X5"....
