Was there an earthquake in progress when you took that 2nd pic?

 

That looks very smart though mate. How did he change the odometer's colour?

 

Different filter in front of the led's with the old filter removed !!!

I looked into this, replacing all my instrument illumination with blue bulbs, but they weren't very bright, so i used clear ones without the green rubber filter. They aren't LED's as standard they're bulbs, except the activation LED's above certain buttons (heater controls). I replaced all the bulbs, in all the switches, now they are orange...!

 

LED's in the switchgear or instrument cluster (for backlighting) wont work because of their beam width, which is very narrow compared with a filament bulb, and they run at about 3v whereas the dash is supplied with 12v.

I tried to fit them and it only lit up the area directly in front of the LED, not the whole dial.

and blitz boost controller and power meter??

 

 

how cums you got rid of your traction control button? :conf:

 

Cause i got rid of the stock traction control butterfly and everything else !!!! Its an SAF-C not the II version

 

The led's im going to use in the dash are straight replacement bulbs not the sort of led that you have to solder in place .

 

The leds in the heater have all been changed and emin ran EL wire round the dials and thru the back of the switches so they really glow blue !!!:innocent:
