Blue Dials, A/c Unit And Switches

[legendswraith]

I upgraded to blue LEDs on all my switches etc on the GS windows, locks, shift lights, aircon controller and stereo. I would strongly advise against doing the stereo its an absolute pig to do and you need to have the right size leds to fit plus getting the resistors in is a complete pain.

[FuntimePhil]

do we have the same stereo? when changing the led's on the is200 there just a straight swap 0805's to blue. resistors are already built in to the circuit. i agree its a pain, but with patience and a steady hand the results are more than worth it

Ah no we don't then the GS had bulbs in

here's the latest pic of dials and stereo, sorry for terrible photo, was in a rush so kinda looks naff, looks great in the dark tho (even better when stereo on!! DOH!!)

[sparkystav]

Looks great mate,

whats the final way you've gone? neo-wedges or full LED soldering?

[johnboy]

yup, just clear bulbs with litlle orange johnnys on

Thanks, that helps. :D

I'd love to do a full Blue Dash, A/C (incliding the currently orange centre parts), TRC, Heated Seats & including

windows & switchgear next year at some point, but been put off in the past due to the lack of even spread of light,

and fiddly nature of the A/C unit soldering etc....

Is this now a fully viable option, and if so what at what difficulty & what are the costs ?

[sparkystav]

If he's using the neo wedges then yes its a good viable way now Woz,

Except the standard headunit but that wont affect you.

[DJ Wozza]

will be PMing you &/or Chris next year if this can be done with little fuss then including switgear lights :D

[sparkystav]

not a problem fella.

Are these £2.77 a pair or each?

[DJ Wozza]

I'd suggest each, but either way it's cheap :D

I just knew you would want to change anything Red on your car you possibly could pmsl

[Steviewevie]

Yeah they were £2.77 plus VAT each when I checked.

I've already got blue LED's in the doors without any covers, stupid laws won't let you have blue brake lights and rear fogs :tsktsk:

£2.77 each is still cheap, thanks Stevie.

[FuntimePhil]

Looks great mate,

whats the final way you've gone? neo-wedges or full LED soldering?

well neither to be honest, i bought 3 strip leds, they just fold into place, need one solder, really simple.

these are the ones LED Although i bought the 30cm ones

oh and as for the door markers, they had to order them in,i wont be getting them till wed

[johnboy]

would putting blue rubber covers over the bulbs work the same way ? after removing the red ones.

[FuntimePhil]

ive thought about that, i would assume so, providing you get the right type of rubber, cant see it beig to bright tho

[johnboy]

you can buy the little rubber covers in blue, and other colours too :D

[TommyH]

you can buy the little rubber covers in blue, and other colours too :D

Where can you buy the rubber covers, and dont say the chemist

[johnboy]

HERE

I havent tried them, but found them the other day.

[sparkystav]

Apparently back when fargo originally did this he tried that and its not so bright.

I like the LED strip idea, i believe Dan_Harris was gonna try something similar.

[figo7]

Hi guys, will these T10 bulbs be okay for the dash lights... is it a straight swap? help much appreciated.

T10 ebay light bulbs

[sparkystav]

No if you search Aztecbandits posts he says somewhere what bulbs are the ones you need.

I think its three t10's and a couple of t5's?!

[FuntimePhil]

3 t10 and 2 t5.

cheap as chips off eBay, dont forget inverted wide angled for best shine
