smd led fitting

[Morgiee]

hi there i attempted to replace the current green smd led's on the dial circuit for blue ones. I managed to get them replaced however when i tested them in he car, not one of them turned on :panic:

iv'e been told that they will be the wrong way around however its took me ages and was really tricky the first time around so you can imagine how annoying it felt to see them not working not one blink!

I am willing to pay for someone to fit them properally and get them working, iv'e seen a couple of people that have managed it and i know they will do a better job than me lol

is anyone able to help?

Cheers

get plasma dials. way better bro, just slide new dials on top of the new ones

Thats what I plan on doing. Can you get Plasma for the MK1's?

i guess i could do them for you but not until 2moro. How did you solder them on properly? were you aware that was a certain way round to put them?

[GurjSagoo]

yeah u can mate, from visual performance, search for them on google. ive fitted mine and they come out wicked

I know therea a pos and neg to them however i wasnt paying attention to which way around they went, how can you tell this cos the smd' are tiny????

[Predator_R32]

SMD leds will have a cut off on one corner, that determines the negative

[Simon]

This is why when doing mine, I tested them after each one

[Morgiee]

its a pain in the ass to test each one cos you have to keep connecting them to the origional dial cables, is anyone on here experienced to do it for me like i said i will be willing to pay!!!

alternatively how can you test them? can you use a cable and battery?
