Changing colour of illumination on HU

[djrm]

Do you reckon it is do-able on something like the product below?

I know some people have done it to dials / gauges in 350's in the past, just wandered whether it would be possible to change the blue dials / ring around the vol knob to orange?

 

Any ideas?

Sounds like one for our resident hound to answer.......

 

I would think it'd be quite tricky and at that price I'd be tempted to just hunt round and find one in the right colour rather than splitting open a cheap unit

Yeah I know but I have looked all over and it's hard to find a single din, dvd with everything I need!

 

I will look into it

 

Thanks mate

Christ don't take action on my advice when it comes to electricals!

 

Wait for Husky to give you his tuppenceworth......it might be easy........it just strikes me as potentially fiddly and disasterous. Its a bit like repairing a PS3 controllor.....seems like a good idea at the time but we all know its ending up in the bin in a million pieces.

A lot of HU have the ability to change colour of lights my Pioneer can do any colour you like

to brand new unit, taking a risk there but would be possible, no doubt the LED's will be very small surface mount ones.

 

Open it up

check what LED's you need

Purchase correct LED's

desolder old LED's

solder in new ones

put back together.

 

totally depends on how the guts of it are put together to how difficult it would be.

This is what I thought - I might just get it, carefully crack it open, have a look and assess it from there!!

Why not just look for one that is the right colour to start with.... are you looking for one that matches the OEM dials etc?

if you do take a picture and i'll see if i can help at all

Dave - I have looked all over and can't find one that does what I need with Orange dials.... Yeah it is purely to try and keep it all looking OEM'ish...

 

Cheers Husky, will do

Have a look for one that lets you change the colours... I've seen quite a few. Is it just a single din you want or a double?

 

This one has over 100 colour combinations and is just over £200 depends on what you want and your budget I guess...

 

[djrm]

That's quite cool actually... Was looking for single din really just to keep it simple but this is nice.... hmmm food for thought!

 

Thanks buddy
