Jake Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Speak/PM/email/whatever our member called Heckler. He does Blue dash conversions for people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun. Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Here is Hecklers website where you can find some info about his kits / services etc .. Top bloke and VERY helpful. http://www.internetwork.org.uk/ Shaun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 as does emin (Supra TT Myster) - who was the 1st to do it to my knowledge(?) his site is http://www.aacperformance.com but it is currently being re-written. I have his contact details if you want them. Both Heckler and Supra TT Myster have done very good work on the dash conversions. Emin also has a DIY kit available to buy.

tbourner Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Emin did mine and I'm waiting for an appropriate time for him to come down here and do some FOC maintenance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Emin did mine originally, Heckler fixed it a few year later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 oh dear, sounds like a couple were not 100% pleased (mike, I thought you were well chuffed with yours?!?) I'll keep quiet, except to say that there were no problems with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 No Emin's been cool, it was just that he used the wrong size LED in the driver's door switch so now the window won't auto-down! but he said he'll fix it but would prefer to meet me somewhere (I don't want to ask him to come all the way here for 1 LED!!!).

Mine too! Perhaps we can arrange a "change my door LED meet"? LOL I would happily recommend Emin, he's a top bloke. I've not had any dealings with Heckler, but his kit looks good too. So there you go, two possible routes for you! Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 oh dear, sounds like a couple were not 100% pleased (mike, I thought you were well chuffed with yours?!?) No real complaints at all, Emin did a top job at my home on a cold day - everything was spot on and has been for a while. Over time bits stopped working or went erratic - probably due to my continued removal of dash panels to mess with other things. I spoke to Emin who said he'd come back and look at it for me but we never seemed to get anything organised. In the end I sorted it all on an exchange basis with Heckler, it was easier for me at the time and I wanted to move from the EL wire solution and go all LED. If I'd have chased him I'm sure Emin would have sorted me out, he's a good guy. Use Heckler or Emin, you'll be happy with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraJames Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I did my own, but seem to have a problem when I turn the lights on..! All looks great with the lights off, turn them on and a few of the LED's that did work then dont..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIVDreamer Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I did my own following Hecklers instructions - made a few enhancements of my own - mostly involving red LEDs for the front/rear demister buttons and a four cluster LED set for the dial backligting, still got "dim" spots, but overall I'm happy - if I ever get enough spare time I will finish of the ciggy lighter/ignition/door key/window etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 See attached pic - Yum I had Simon (Heckler) come back twice to sort out the brightness of the LEDs as I'm a picky bugger, and he did quite cheerfully. The only prob I have had is the light behind the aircon buttons has stopped working because the regulator thingy died. Simon doesn't use them any more because of the failure rate and will fix mine whenever he and I both get a chance to meet up -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kite Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I did my own, but seem to have a problem when I turn the lights on..! All looks great with the lights off, turn them on and a few of the LED's that did work then dont..! I have the exact same problem... Did you manage to fix this? If so how?

Sheefa Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I travelled all the way up to Heckler in Marham to get my done H. That's 2 1/2 hours away because it was a little bit cheaper (not with petrol costs though! ) but mainly it was a chance to meet Si and have a break in the sun while he did all the work Nothing for me to do. IIRC, he charged me around £125 fitted....but that included fitting my metal monkey dials too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
