Yeh i remember a guy on here used colours for his speedo i think?

Mystic^p · 30th March 2007, 12:22

One of my mates has always used colour changed LEDs for his dashboard lights & sidelights & inside his side repeaters (aswell as the repeater bulbs) etc.

Iv always quite liked it to look at, dunno if id do it though

here you go.i forgot to change the setting on me phone so the qualitys shite.

Mmmm, the switch souns like quite a nice subtle application of it though.

My problem is, iv got a black saxo & so far the only colour im trying to add to it would be red (calipers etc) so ideally id like to have red lights on the inside too. Red dials & red needles wont go very wel though. Gonna do the switches red still i think but m not sure about the dials. Thats why i was after clear needles & then i could do the needles white

btw can the hazards be done?

Hmmm, you know i acctually really like that! You should be able to do the hazards too although im not sure exactly how it works since iirc the light goes on & off with the hazards?

i havent looked at the hazzard button yet because i was not sure if mr mot man would be to happy it not being red as its been over a year since i was doing mot tests so i dont know how the current law stands

Mystic^p · 30th March 2007, 14:00

It still has the red part on the button though?

Oh btw iv got a mate who does car graphics but he might beable to help us out with the heater panel covers...

liamk15 · 30th March 2007, 14:07

Yeh ur page was what reminded me. You mean you can remove the green filter with white spirit? So you could keep the std looking front of it and just attach new coloured vynal or somethin behind it to colour the light?

SNewham · 30th March 2007, 16:19

yeh

just finished doing my LED button bulbs. They look well nice now

wil post some photos in a second.

scott

SNewham · 30th March 2007, 16:32

and here's mine

I don't care about MOT lol

Will hopefully get me SMD LEDS at the weekend and I can do my speedo etc

Mystic^p · 30th March 2007, 16:39

Lookin good scott, although the blue lights dont go with the red splodge on the button

Do these still dim & go brighter when in use?

no unfortunatly i cant get anthing that will remove the green filter without effecting the rest so i mean u can get rid off all the filters and have a blank plastic insert and then stick i vynal one on the inside of that so its remails factory loking coz i cant think of any other way to do it, unless u cover the green filter on the icons with duck tape from behind and jsut he the red/blue bits lit up
