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

[shane2007]

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

[Predator_R32p]

its easy mate honestly

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

[shane2007]

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

[Predator_R32p]

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

[shane2007]

there them

gt a 1.1saxo. P reg.1996

[Predator_R32p]

ahhh so led bulbs right

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

[shane2007]

where do u get them and how much?

is there anywhere else i could have them in car?

[Predator_R32p]

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

[shane2007]

well expensive

[Baynesey]

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

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.
