Dash colour change
« on: September 28, 2007, 04:23:33 PM »

Well might not be everyones taste but i changed my dash colour to blue, easy enough to do if you have a steady hand and dont heat the led's for too long  :icon_thumright:

its actually i little darker blue but you get the idea

nah mate, just left it till late to take a pic so it was nice and dark in the garage

yeah its just the led's that need replacing, they are surface mount LED's so you will need a small needle soldering iron, mine was 15 watt i think so not to heat the board to much

i had to get another set of LED's tho as i found out the hard way that you cant heat them more than 3-4 secs or it just kills the LED's

but i have a multi meter which will test them so once fitted to the board i checked they where ok then rebuilt the clocks and all was fine, all in all it took me about 2.5 hours to do

not sure mate, i bought a kit off ebay, so if im honest i dont know the spec of the leds, strip your clocks down and you will see the leds that need taking out

not sure if red will show to well tho mate, the red at the top of mine doesnt show in direct light but the blue does
