    LED Dashboard Light Group Buy

    I am about to get a bunch of these in, and thought I would gauge interest in here to see if anybody might fancy some?

    Choice of colour, Blue, White, Green, Red, Yellow.

    Easy to do, I'll put up a guide and everything

    Something like this, but in a choice of colours, this was when I did my own in red:

    I would like the centre consol to all one colour, but I'm lead to believe its a bit of a mare replacing the bulbs?

    It's pretty easy to change them all tbh, the only tricky bit I wouldn't recommend is trying to change the little bits that light up when you press them to tell you where the heater is sending the air

    Here's a guide I did in 2007...

    The heater panel you take off the dash with 2 screws and unplug.

    On the back is a black plastic cover which you remove by lifting the little securing tabs, then move out of the way.

    You then undo the screws and remove the first circuit board. The next board you squash the little white plastic 'arrow' shaped retaining clips, then the board just pops out, but make sure you have released all of them.

    You will then be able to see 3 bulbs, but only remove 2 as the heater temp control will be in the way. You will need to remove the nob from the front of that, by pulling hard, then release the retaining clips on that and it slides out, allowing you to reach the final bulb holder.

    I have done the heater controls and they are pretty easy not done any of the switches below though

    The switches below, heated windows etc aren't too bad either, you just have to take them off the dash, then prize the fronts off from behind. They're little tiny bulbs in there, with long tails, that you have to wrap round a little base, it's a bit fiddly, but once you've done 1 you soon get the hang of it

    I'd be really interested in a set for the heater controls as none of mine light up anymore

    I'd be interested in a full set of white, but do you have to take the clocks apart?

    Also would you be able to just supple the lights to change the clock and mileage? I have OEL dials but these are still white and look really dull

    You dont have to take the clocks apart.

    It's a few screws and the whole lot come out, you just twist the bulb holders from behind and they pop out, you change the bulb and put it back in

    I am aiming at them being £10 for the clocks and clock, and £10 to do all of the rest... or I think £17.50 for the whole lot together.

    I'll do complete instructions with pictures too

    I can do any number of anything you need really, I am just putting an order together now.

    I would suggest steering clear of Blue if you have stock dash clocks, as the needles are red, and red doesn't reflect blue so well

    I defo want the centre console ones. I've got Indiglo dials so no need for the dash clocks.

    What colours can you get them in?
