Love the thread :y:

Best place for smd leds is here

http://www.rapidonline.com/Electroni...20mount%20LEDs

why couldent i have seen this before :wall:
well cheap

Tried doing this to my Mk1's.

PROBLEMS
-When uncliping the casing, there is a screw holiding it all into place at the top, at the intercators.

-You have to unscrew every indivual dial to get to the bulbs

- Bulbs are BIG LEDs, not the tiny ones like on here

- No Circuit bored, its burried on the back of the cluster

- LEDS are cliped into place.

could you not see thiswas a guide for Mk2 dials?? lol

The Mk1's dont have LED's they have bulbs......

These look super cool!!

Obv i could see it was mk2's. Didn't want anyone moaning saying they can''t do it to their mk1's.

im suprised someone hasnt brought some sets of dials from a breakers and reLEDed to sell on here your make a shit load.

tbh, you can buy dials for like £7 like what i did from eBay. Not worth the hassel tbh.

how the hell do you disconnect the airbag from behind the centre console?

i'm gonna try this one myself shortly. nice guide mate :+

Does it look as bright as the one listed on page 1?

just ordered mine off ebay. cheap as chips mod!

this guides great mate was going to try this a while back but didnt want to risk breaking my dials but im going to give it ago as soon as i get some led's also answer to previous post citroen are the ones that can put your mileage onto the clocks so if any1 does damage theirs doing this thats what you goto do if get some froma scrappy...

I have a load of these leds that I used to do mine when I had a vtr. tell me how many you need and I'll send em for the postage costs. I'm nevr going to use em.

Think I have enough for 3 sets at least like. Blue in colour fyi

I had this is my corsa, thought it looked great considering the money it cost .

dials
 

hya dont usually post on here but go on a lot, i was going to try the dials but i was gunna get sum from scrappers to practice on first as i am not great with diy. but was just wondering when i had done it on my practice dials how i would power them to check them any one help please??

I done this about a month ago and have never looked back. It looks awesome! took a bit of time but well worth it. I also broke the slip ring in the process lol =)

this looks amazing
doing it next week

Such a good guide and such a good mod as well to give it that VW dash look.

:O Your car has only got 25k

Yeah it is such a good mod, i got all the equipment just having the time to do it.

Wow.... There Nice!!

Think i might have to do this :D

Thanks for the guide :D

top guide mate, easy to follow and one of the best interior mods you can do.

wow that nuts, how do you know you can do these things lol, want to do mine now!

Wow, I love that blue light effect :D

Good work.

looks shit hot m8, can u buy any LED or do you need certain ones?

Hmm, now im wondering what other colours are out there I can use. Btw how many LEDs did you need to buy?

the leds you need are: SMD PLCC-2 LEDs

you can get quite a few different colours for them.. iv got a spare set of dials that Im think about doing UV/Purple.

14 just to do them number (15 for a VTS/GTi)

then additional ones if you want to do headlight/indicators etc.

are there different leds between mk1 and 2 vtrs?

The mark 1 dials dont use LEDs.. they use standard bulbs but the dial facias have colored filters in them.

i would definately fuck that up lol

I'm guessing the bulbs are only standard 12v ones though so could you not replaced them with LEDs instead?

I'll be ripping my dash / dials out next week so till them I'm kinda shooting blind.

you can replace them will LEDS, but will need to run a 12v live to the leds and use resistors as well. I THINK you can also replace them with these http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/crazyleds...-1-pr-159.html. But you will also have to replace the dial facias because they have green filters.

Cheers Matty, last question, do I need to remove the dash to get at the dials or something? :-S

Just been out and had a look at mine and can't see how to get them out.

Found 2 screws which hold the outer plastic dash cover in place and one more near the top but still can't get the unit out. :(



Heeeeeeeeeelp!
