Changing Dash Light Colour

[Andy-R]

Well the way i do it i nicked from My.is but requires soldering.

I think theres new bulbs out on the market now that Aztec knows about so he's prob your man.

Stav

Well copped out Stav, don't fancy doing the soldering thing myself. Looks like the balls in Aztecs court, if it's easy to do i'll do it, if it's not, I either can't be ar :tsktsk: d or will get someone to do it for me(unless I know what i'm doing of course)

If you know how to get your clocks out mate its quite easy to do as theres only 6 screws that need to be removed there's 2 at the top of the clock surround and 1 by the ignition? when you've taken these 3 out the clock surround just pulls off, (to make it a bit easier to get to, drop your steering wheel down using the height adjuster), When the surrounds removed you will see 3 gold screws holding the clocks in place, again 2 at the top and 1 at the bottom remove these and pull the clocks forward and unplug the cables from the rear :)

All i used was 3 inverted wide angle bright blue leds, there the 501w led's the same as your side light bulbs push in type (try not to buy the led's that have 4 small led's at the end as they dont spread the light enough to light the clocks) and change them on the clocks? I got mine off e-bay for a couple of pound and i've got the same in my side lights now? There not hard to do mate as there is only 3 of them in the clocks its the big ones with the orange covers on the bulbs which you'll see when the clocks are out think they all have blue bulb holders?

You just twist them out of the clocks then pull the original bulbs out of the bulb holder and push the LED bulbs back into the bulb holder then twist them back into the clocks, Then you put the clocks back in place but not screwing them in at first, connect the two plugs in the back to the clocks and turn on your side lights to check that there working which they should do, if they dont take the LED out again and turn it around and try again, when they all light up fix your clocks back in place and there you have it? It only took me 10 mins at the most to do :D

If you want to make the clocks all blue and not have the rainbow effect you'll need a pair of T5 wide angle led's to change the 2 small ones with blue bulb holders which you'll see when the clocks are out?

If you get stuck mate give me a shout and i'll try and help you out :D Simple but effective i think? :D

Cheers Aztec knew you'd come through, will sort some bulbs out and get it done, nice 1 :D

[aztecbandit1]

The middle bulb above your head is a festoon type bulb 31mm, mines like this 1 on ebay= item number: 180241876041 the one at the front above the mirror is a BA9 type bulb or this one if you want a blue 1 to match the other one on eBay click me :-) I've never brought from any of these two so not sure on delivery times etc but think you'll be ok if you do order them :D

[Andy-R]

Just a quicky are 501w's the same as T10's :)

[aztecbandit1]

Just a quicky are 501w's the same as T10's :)

Yes matey they are, There also known as a W5W :D

[Andy-R]

Cheers Aztec, just sorting out ordering some but the guy I got my xenon's off doesn't do the T5's so i'll have to shop around abit, there's loads on e-bay but there mostly from Hong Kong or China and i'd rather get some from this country, anyway just messaged someone for a price so will see what they say :)

glad i can help matey anything else give me a shout :D Oh just thought aswell the T5's are a bit of a pain as some of the holders dont fit in the clocks due to being to big to twist into the clocks so if you can pull the bulbs out of the ones that are fitted it will make it easier to replace them as some are solderd into the fitting itself?

[Andy-R]

Just ordered the bulbs :D will have a look at the T5's before deciding what to do if they need soldering then I think i'll just go with 501's for now, hopfully they'll just be a straight swap :) cheers guys and thanks again Aztec :D

[aaronabbott]

mine arrived today so gotta wait till at least starts to go dark to fit and see what they look like
