as said there bulbs most likely, they twist and pull out, also you will have to replace the dial faces due to them having a green filter on them, which you cant get off, so its eitehr lockwood dials with some blue bulbs or some plasma dials, theres a group buy on them too

i aksed about the plasma dials, are they a straight swap simple as and will they fit, thing the ones like mine with light changes look a litle takey imo you agree? have green neons in car so if change them to green will i have to remove the green filter

did you not which way they went before you took them out, as they only work one way, the cut off on the corner determines the positive side

betty02 · 16th August 2007, 00:18

well ok ive never checked them in he dark before, never been out at night as not passed test, and the buggers dont fooking work why not? all the lights work other then behind the dials, just hoping that its a loose connection, and not be stupid turned twisted and pulled everything, they come on dont they when i put my lights on?

heres all i coul see, sorry for quality was shaking as i was freezing ma tits of!!!

Predator_R32^p · 16th August 2007, 00:28

there is a dimmer switch you know, think its the one on the left if you keep pressing it it will get brighter

betty02 · 16th August 2007, 00:32

im being stupid and shit lazy know but were abouts??? is that all it is then?

Predator_R32^p · 16th August 2007, 00:35

well the knob that sticks out to change the time you can press in, could be that mate, probablies a good chance it is, have they always been like that??

betty02 · 16th August 2007, 00:37

well like said never taken her out in dark as i havnt passed, thing is i was going to do this mod and attempted to take dials out but couldnt unplug em, think i may have loosed the conenction? or would that switch them all of?, ryt gona go in2 my car, at nyt, in dar, in boxers, and fidle with little nobs

betty02 · 16th August 2007, 00:56

right im back, had 2 nobs, one was to put milage counter to 0000000000, thats all it would do, the other only did the clock, i twisted, pushed pulled and all it would do is the clock, hoping now i just loosened the connecxtion!!

Predator_R32^p · 16th August 2007, 01:03

try the right hand one, you have to have the ignition on or the car started iirc

betty02 · 16th August 2007, 01:05

had egnition on, not started would wake everybody up, will try again 2mo the 2 i found i tried everythign with em and nout happened grr ffs lol

Predator_R32^p · 16th August 2007, 01:10

ill check too mate, im surer the engine needs to be started, if it doesnt work then be best to take them out to clean the bulbs or replace them and also clean the dials

the plasma ones hould fit in your car mate, and also you can have them green and also blue
