Saxo LED dials guide (56K NO NO)
i put some leds in my saxo today as i was board of the standard crappy green and all my mates had plasma dials so i wanted to be different so i went to maplin and purchased some SMD PLCC-2 BLUE LEDs (needed 16 of them). here are some pics they dont realy do it justice but its hard to capure it as there so much better in the flesh (oh and u can read the millage and display info and that but in the pics it looks like u cant)
BEFORE:
AFTER:
and here is the guide:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
LED DIALS GUIDE
1) Remove the dials from the vehicle
2) remove the outer case by pulling the clips back
3) remove the dial needles. this is done buy just pulling the speed/rev ones off with ur hand, for the other ones use some plyers and be carefull, also note where the needles are set.
4) now the dial transfers can be removed
5) spin the unit over and unclip he circuit board
6) you now need to desolder the old leds and resolder the new ones on. take your time and use some tweesers to help as there small and fiddley
7) once there all done test the unit to make sure they all work
8) refit and admire your handy work
