needles do light up mystic :) im having a go with mine tomorrow, so may turn out purple a dunno :)

I think it was £19.99, plug operated with a needle end and I got a little stand for it as well :P :P Was well chuffed hehe :afro:

Waow, both questions in the 2 following replies. Now thats good service!

Might have to part with some notes for my own soldering iron, cant wait to see the needles pred :y:

My dads got 2 citreon dispatches amongst his fleet, i think they have orange needles :P

What ever happened to the lad who could make the rev needle change colour as it progressed round the dial? I'll try find the link!


EDIT: Link - Rev Needle changes colour

Got my led's this morning, could not beleive how small they were.

Will be giving this a shot soon, gota pop out to get some solder firstly though.

Got a electronics soldering iron, so its got a really thin pencil-like tip.

Hope all goes to plan, taking the laptop with me incase i need to refer back to the tutorial.

In town today so might nip into maplins and get some LED's looks awesome!

So to remove the dash do you have to take the steering wheel off?

Just it seems that way, cause there are for screws you need to access. 2 At the top and 2 at the bottom?

Anyone

ok here is how u get the dials out:

disconect one of the battery terminals from under the bonnet,

next go into the car and at the rear of the center console on the floor the airbag control unit is hidden behind a bit of carpet, pull the bit of carpet back and disconnect the big orrange plug

undo the 2 torx screw holding the air bag on

remove the steering wheel bolt and steering wheel

remove the airbag spiral contact unit and then the indicators stalk unit behind it

now u can get to all 4 screws of the plastic surrand thing

finally undo the 3 remaining bolts behind this holding the dials in adn disconect the two wires at the back

looks absolutly mint... with the kit you's have bin talking about of ebay.. does it create the same effect also ?

got mine done today will get pics up later :y:

couldnt get to the needles bulbs, got them off but could i hell get into them, so i did the battery, oil, fuel, headlights, engine management, indicators, handbrake and the digital display, overall its really easy to do worst part is holding them in place, you really need a steady hand

cheers steve ill rep you when i can :y:

Pics Pics Pics!!

Your existsance is useless without pics! :P

uhere we go, only ones that arent on is the indicators, i might actually buy a load more and do the whole thing lol

i went into maplins today and they said i have to go to citroen? i just wanted to know what to ask for when i go in
thanks

think theres some more on ebay mate 2 mins

here we go mate

5 packs of 10 left be quick, there is other colours just make sure they look like the leds in this link :y:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-SMD-SMT-PLC...QQcmdZViewItem

cheers mate will i need to buy more than 10?

yeah mate i think its 16 you need, unless your wanting to do the whole thing and that would mean about 30

what do i ask for from maplins then? lol

looks good pred makes ur dials look so much better with the blue display and the blue warning lights, good work mate

not all Maplins stores sell them. If yours doesn't then you can buy from ebay. Citroen don't sell the blue ones, they will only sell standard.

just get them mate there cheap enough and he delivers really fast :y:

but if you ask at maplins ask for SMD SMT PLCC-2 LEDs

cheers for the before and after there steve, think the 1st pic was with the green glow on, i was thinking of taking the plasma ones out but then i thought nah its different :y:

SMD PLCC-2 LEDs but people are having trouble getting them in some maplins so better to get them off egay

Could you post up your guide for the mk1

mk1 are just bulbs instead of leds mate, so they will just unscrew or twist am not sure what bulb you will need though ill try and find out for you

EDIT had a look in the haynes its says once you have the dials out just twist the bulbs anti clockwise simple as that

all you need to find out now is the bulb type, which id phone citroen for, and then buy some blue one :y:

i posted this guide up on a 106 forum and one of the mk1 lads had a go at doing it, he got some special leds that go in place of the bulbs but he said the dial filter on the mk1s are coloured green on the inside and uses white bulbd so when he put the blue ones in it made the green filer go a rank green/blue colour the he said didnt look nice at all

lol so mk1 you probablies cant do

yeah prob not but someone should check but i dont think u can as the 106/saxo bits are normally the same part

could always put the mk2 dials in but its a lot of work so you may as well buy some plasma dials

rite thanks you lot ill just get them off ebay

easiest way mate, hes really good with the delivery i ordered mine on the saturday night and got them tuesday morning so should only take a few days and will be in time for the weekend :y:

yeah i ordered some for my mate so i can do his, ordered them on wednesday got them friday

i thought he forgot to put them in lol, then i seen them stuck on the invoice :)

lol yeah tiny little things and produce so mich light for what they are

Well after a few difficulties getting the bloody things out have finally completed it.

I have for sale blue led's if anyone needs them in batch of 16 (loads left over).

Please view pics below, thanks to steve for inspiration well worth it.

Cost me £5 for solder, £0.50p for tweesers :)

Pics:

Looks awesome mate! cant wait to do it now! im scared about the needles tho! and putin them back on!

looking good richo, makes it looks so much fresher then the old dull green style, i would have done the green light tho to keep it all blue but thats jsut me being picky. good work

Cheers guys.

Really liked the green being a different colour for some reason.

The blue is a really fresh colour, i also have the blue furio interior so finishes it off.

With the needles you are fine, just make you sure have long headed pliers for the smaller needles.

And i placed my petrol one back wrong, so need to change that back.

Definately reccomend doing it.

Once again cheers Steve for writing the guide.

no worries mate, more to come yet with the rest of the dash, i got a bit of the center dash dials out but its green filtered with a white bulb. i have tried to use some chemicals to take the green filter off but it takes the rest off so no good so still woking on it (lucky had a few spares for previous scrappy visit) but i will try and sort it and look at it this weekend and get some stuff posted up as i am busy the next few day refibishing my alloys

looks great mate just another few people to get theres on now :y:

Don't mean to be thick but where else is there to do?

scott


yeh will hopefully get mine done if I'm not too hungover on sunday :panic:

theres the hazard light switch and rear screen heater i want to do too so ill have a look at them see what bulbs are in there :y:

i'll have the button guide up in a min or tomorrow depending if i get my usb digi cam lead to work
