This is where I got my heater thingy from
http://www.metal-monkey.co.uk/acatal...ter_Plate.html

Gunna get this done at the weekend, anyone got any tips and ideas of what to be careful for?

cheers

just do what i did to make them, i've done all the hard work and shown u how to do it and even posted up the hi res factory look dial image i made for you to download and use cant help u any more then that, here is the link
http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showthread.php?t=75643 and you should get away with using this for the transparent film http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=390015198864 so you could make a load off and sell them yourself as loads of people been pm'ing me for some but i dont have access to do it anymore

Nice one cheers bud! also for anyone else doing this mod I found a new variation called double silver see link below!

Good luck! take your time, make sure you go carefully with the needles and make sure they all work properly before putting the car back together again! I drove myne down the road just to check the speed dial still worked etc... if you push them in too far then they judder as opposed to moving smoothly!


Yeah bud your a star for doing the guides! just havent got time to sort making my own, might do after x mas and sell some on but for now I quite fancy some of the double silver ones on the link above, check it out sounds pretty cool!

Gutted!
Was going to get this done today but maplins in boro and teesside park have stopped selling them.
Does anyone know any where else that sells them? Can't be arsed with eBay!

Cheers

I have 20 that I can sell you if you dont want to buy through ebay, they are the correct ones as I have them fitted to my saxo, see my piccys in this thread, they are 800mcd not 600mcd so they are very bright! but the dimmer can obviously be used if you didnt want them that bright!

PM me if your interested!

Thanks mate, I meant i couldnt be arsed with waiting for delivery lol
Is there anyone a bit more local, north east, that has any spare they want to sell me?

Cheers

:bump:

Not a clue to be honest sorry

Why did you bump the thread? I wouldnt get back to you sooner as I havent been online

Sorry it wasnt aimed at you, was just a general question.

any pics of your heater plate mate, and looked on the website which one did u order lol.

I ordered the metal natural finsh, as it was the only one they did at the time.

Theres more choice now :homme:

No probs I didnt think it was aimed at me just wondered why you put the bump thats all! lol

Looks pretty good! How many leds did you put behind the dials and how did you fix them? I drilled 4x 5mm holes in the clear plastic and mounted the led.s in there... im thinking a 6 led sidelight thats blue with 1 cable would have been easier and better though!

EDIT: Just ordered the Black metal ones with the white dials on from metal monkey! Cost £9.80 delivered, didnt want a lairy one in the end just something that shines white! Would have made them myself with the template from steve but havent got time this close to x mas!

I just used one LED blub, same type as the std bulb

If they had done a black one when I got mine last year I would have got that instead, Might change it at a later date.

Rubbish pic I just took, is really a darker blue matches really well with the dials.

how come you had to de solder and resolder new ones when them ones on ebay are plug and play how do they work?

MK1's have bulbs, same as the link.
But Mk2's have tiny SMD's soldered onto the circuit board.

thanks alot big help its for my girlfriends christmas present lol she likes the blue ones lol do you know how meny bulbs mk1's have?

Someone find me some bright lime green bulbs for a mk1

i tried looking at manuals for to see how meny bulbs it needs on a mk1 but wont say does anyone else know

How come 1 led is so bright? or did you use a blue halogen?

My Mk2 VTS had 1 single halogen bulb not led's!

My Mk2 VTS had 1 single Halogen bulb... so are we saying that either myne was replaced at some point?
I really want one with SMD's that I can unsolder and replace!

Does anyone know exactly which saxo's have the led's/SMD's? cos il go hunting for it!
