ah right just ignore my last pager steve lol, i thought you meant the engine start, what bulbs do i need for them then just normal LEDs like the alarm one?

I so want to do this, but I really don't have the balls to do it. And I don't feel safe removing the steering wheel?

Looks awesome though, my cd player lights up blue so would be awesome if it was to match!!

its easy mate honestly just follow steves guide and you will have no problems, i used a normal soldering ironwith the flat head end, basically all you do is stroke it across the solder while using the tweezers to pull the old one off and basically the same putting it back on :y:

thats the hardest part because there fiddly and small

Im trying this at some point

Yea you will be fine mate.

You dont need to remove the whole steering wheel, as mentioned in above posts just loosen the bolts so that you can adjust the steering wheel lower so you can access the screws.

Its all explained though, the soldering isnt particularly hard either as pred mentioned just need a steady hand.

Can you not take the filter out or change the filter then?

no the filter cannot be removed, if u can get some clear ones off lockwood or something then u could do it

Is that the only way then. How much would a lockwood filter thing cost?

Mine came this morning! jeez there small! lol cudnt believe it! Bit nervous now! lol

about £35 and i dont know if there filters are clear, just get plasma dials if u got a mk1

nice guide mate, look stunning! :y:

where can you get plasma dials???? and how do they work???

matrix racing on ebay do them, there plasmas so u dont need leds as they have there own plasma lighting

:y: cheers

Haha burns arnt nice.

how long did it take you?

about 6 hours lol ;) I had a few hold ups. I fucked one of the contacs so I had to relocate both contacts to the left slightly :P and I didnt have the right size torz to take the wheel off :P

Look good mate^

Mine seem quite dull in comparison.

that was un daylight as well :P

looking good scot glad u got it done ok, u got a pic of ur dials before?

Just asked the the guy on ebay if he had anymore, hes then listed some more, so i've ordered mine Clicky 8 sets of 10 left.

i bet the bloke on ebay is loving it since i put that link up

I'm suprised he hasn't put the price up, i would have

I have 2 sets of 16 Blue LED's if anyone is wishing to purchase them.

i emailed the smd led ebay seller today and told him that i had recommended his smd leds on here and told him that alot of you have been buying them and he messaged me back saying thanks and he wondered why he had been doing a roaring trade on these the last few weeks, he also continued to say hes got about 100 left and that when he buys them they come in quantity of 1500 on a reel lol


also u lot might wana check out the cig lighter that i did blue:

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...1&postcount=78

im in the process of getting a cig lighter, do i just use a bulb or can i use a LED steve

also with the hazard switch did you actually do this?? cos i need a new one due to not being able to get it to work and caused loads of problems knocking the indicators and hazards off and blowing a fuse oops, ive got the indicators to work by bodging the switch gonna buy a new one i think the resistor on my led was getting in the way as i put the led in through the back of the holder so ill put it in the front theis time

awesome looks gd:)

hi mate, for the cig lighter u use a coloured LED mate, as reguards to the hazzard light switch i have done mine and its fine, the led goes the other way tho with the positive leg on the left intead of the right and the right on the left as the circuit runs the other way on that switch. also try keep the button and cog questions to the thread dedicated to them. cheers
