Instrument Cluster White LED Lighting

[Nexus_french]

I did mine blue


A friend of mine help me and we did it in an hour!
Saw it in white and it looks good too!
And I got my gauges matching (except for the oil temp which is white!)

Cool, thanks Bondibl, I can't wait to get this done over the weekend

Yup as Bondiblu said those are the correct ones

Good job Nexus the blue looks good with your gauges

I did mine like a year and a half ago!

Where did you get your gauges from Nexus? I'm looking at a blue lighting colour scheme and will eventually get round to the dials. Yours look fantastic! Have you started a 'Reader's Ride' thread yet?

I hope someone is still following this thread as i am very interested in doing this. On the picture i've quoted the display that shows time is blue, is this just another LED change?

Yes, though they are different LED's again. I think they sit at a right angle to the board.

Just to let anyone know, led's are pretty cheap here : http://www.rapidonline.com/Electron...417/?sid=64d98692-faa3-4cdb-b245-31534d49579a

Not sure, I'd have to have a closer look.

[MattLaneUK]

Any response would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Anyone got the images :-( ?

I haven't got the pictures, but done the conversion myself. It's pretty easy if you're good with a soldering iron.

 

[DarrenHawes]

nice

Hey guys, I literally just finished this with my Toledo, was very fiddly but got it don easy enough.
Changed the Rev counter to blue, indicators and LCD screens to blue too and the needles to white. Also changed the speedo but NONE of the 4 LED's work on it. I find this odd as every single other led that I changed works fine, but all 4 in the speedo won't light. I'm stumped, any ideas?

Sounds like either they have all burnt out when soldering them on or you have one of the LEDs fitted the wrong way round.

 

[Badger]

They will work together as part of a series circuit so if one isn't on correctly, then all will not work.

I had a similar issue when I first did mine, stupidly replaced an LED the wrong way round. Turned it back and I had lights!
