MrG13 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Today's been a busy day...finally took the courage to rip apart my speedo and replace the leds and here's the results. Do u have to solder at all with any of these bulb changes or is it just a simple bulb swop after the oain of removing everything? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Every one of those tiny white rectangles is a led with 4 pads on each that are about 1mm wide that need to be soldered :/ Edited June 12, 2017 by ZeppoJeff 2 Quote
Stutopia Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 That looks like a lot of work, great effort Zeppo Quote
MrG13 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Every one of those tiny white rectangles is a led with 4 pads on each that are about 1mm wide that need to be soldered :/ Well talk about ten points for effort! If I did that it would be one molten, burnt sad excuse of a circuit board! can you get the replacement LED's in green and on a scale of 'once i soldered some speaker wire' to 'I just soldered my own version of a intel 6700k with nothin but a coathanger and some pinapple' would you grade the difficulty of this job? I think they look amazing and would love a green version Quote

If you are doing it yourself you'll need a professional soldering iron with a super small tip and adjustable heat controls. Practise on the window switches or something first to build up confidence. 1 Quote

baileydom Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Removed the absolutely useless facelift 'card holder' in the dash on the passenger side and replaced it with a cup holder from an early car. Much more useful! Quote
