Lol, chears but i meant of ur dials :P

:Y:

Oh right, ill get some if ya want mate yeah, they look the same as everyone elses really just with fucked needles lol

Hi guys, i'm new member fro italy and i speak english not very well.. so gently can tell me the specs of smd led of dashboard because i want to sobstitute the original with new blu led but i don't know the specification of the leds (voltage,amperes.etc.. etc..)
Thanks! Martyns

what year saxo do you have??

Hi
I really want to do mine. I have a 1.1 forte and not sure whether the dials are a filter or not. How do i tell with out taking it out or can't i? If they are where can i get new dials from?

Cheers

is it a mk1 or a mk2, the mk1s use bulbs not leds so u cant do the mk1s but u can do the mk2s, if u have a mk1 u can get plasma dials from matrix racing and there is antoehr company but for got the web address

citoen told me to get new clocks bout 6 months ago wish id seen this b4 i fitted the new clocks wudav done cuz i sprayed the black surround silver it aint very hard to take the unit apart its dropping the steering wheel to get them out og the car is the hardest part
jus dont snap the plastis clips they can be brittle

i have some led for my dials.but i have read all that and iam not doing it .looks too compliacted to me lol

its easy mate honestly :y:

get some spare dials to practice on first, just take your time soldering them and use some paper to mark which way the led goes

orite.i thought you would just have to take off the thing and put a a bulb in lol

have you checked yours is actually leds and not bulbs??

there them

gt a 1.1saxo. P reg.1996

ahhh so led bulbs right :y:

basically you will have to buy some dial faces as the standard ones have a green filter on them which wont come off, steve has tryed and failed, so the only thing you can do is get some lockwood dials or plasma ones

where do u get them and how much?

is there anywhere else i could have them in car?

well you could try getting some mk2 dials to fit, but think there a different shape and you may have to trim them to fit

lockwood dials from http://www.directcarparts.co.uk/buy-...2193_2195.html

and plasma dials from www.visual-performance.co.uk

well expensive

is anyone doing this at the mo, i got a bit cocky and forgot the write down the way the leds went, and need to be told which way they go

yeah, i got as far as taking the wheel off, and couldnt because i didnt have an extension for the 1/2" ratchet!!! ill pm you with a pic mate.

you have red leds in the centre, these are for the needs, would it be possilbe to put other colour, such as white or purple? or do they need to be red?

the needles themselves are red though so it wouldn't show up.


scott

the led is actually in the needle bits, you can take the needle off but cant get into the box that the led is in, i think there tamper proof for some gay reason

Steve, How much will it cost for you to do mine?:P You live near me mate.

who me ???

Your not Steve :P

stevenet15 is the man im refering to.

i am steve actually :p

ye, how much would you do a set of furio 1s for?

or would u just recomend doing them myself? but i cannot find the rite LEDS? well im not sure which 1s?

Is there a guide on here of how to get the dials out?

Im the kinda guy who needs pictures rater than words :P

looks awesome good mod!!!! looks good i'll be having a word with my mate to borrow his soldering iron and get that done.

its not a hard job but i jsut dont realy have time to do it, do it yourself and you will get personaly satisfaction out of it as well as a trick new looking dash

i did do a guide for fitting plasma dials, which tells you how to get to the dials

heres the link anyway

look! clocks out, wheel on.;)

oooooh.

^^^^^
Nah i bet ya jus put the wheel back on after ya took the dials out, jus to annoy us that removed it! lol

lol, i wish i was that devious!
ps stop taking your steering wheels off!:y:

now ya tell me! lol, ah well its give me the experience of takin my steerin wheel off! :y:

you do have to take the steering wheel off sometimes mate, i told people to drop the coloumn down to get to the 2 torx screws as the bottom of the surround, and got people saying it didnt work and they had to take the wheel off, anyway my wheel is a snap off one so comes off in seconds

also when your taking them out it sometimes scrapes on the coloumn and scratches the front

did your car have 2 screws on the bottom as they may have been taken out

yes i took the screws out, once they were all out i turned the wheel a bit one way pulled the clocks half out and then turned the wheel the other way and voila (and no scratches :p ).

by the way Predator_VTR, i LOVE your avatar!

hmmmm your car must be just special then, because my wheel had to be taken off to get to the screws the first time i did it, ive now left the ones off the bottom of the surround so makes it easier in future

yeah a lot of people love the way i dance :p
