Mike Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The Hecklemeister would be the bloke to talk to for anything LED or dashboard related... it's something of an obsession for him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see there he has nothing to worry about, Heckler does the whole dash rather than making it look silly with two colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 i was getting geared up mentally to do mine then i drove past maccy Ds, i had forgot all about it until then and from what i can remember you can get all the gear to do it on ebay cheap as chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I haven't done mine (I've only owned the car 2 days...) but I did the clocks on my other car 2 weeks ago. Cost about £20 from ebay - and that was almost twice the number of LEDs I needed. Hmm - wonder if the spares would fit the Supra...... Actually - since it's a similar subject - how easy is it to replace the lights above the climate switches? 3 of mine don't come on when I switch the lights on. The button lights themselves are fine, it's just the indicators above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I did mine. It's trying to run the glo-wire behind the buttons thats a bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Got Emin to do mine a couple of years back and it looked the nuts. So much brighter than the stock lighting. Go for it but go for a shocking pink to be a bit 'different' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Heckler did mine AND he did the temperature knob which isn't even lit up as stock -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
