A few people (SMD for example, who's just posted as I'm writing) have done a full LED conversion with Blackcats gauge faces, and I've got all the stuff ready to go in over the winter myself. I'm DIYing it, as there's nothing too intimidating if you're handy with a soldering iron. My plan B for if i get in over my head is to have a general electronic repair service do all the soldering, but still do the taking apart and putting back together myself.

nice !!! think im gonna get this sorted. love the colourful dash lighting, kinda adds a level of techno bling in a nice way.

 

Might have to settle for a little 12v christmas tree until after xmas tho . lol

It really is fantastic, makes the whole interior look so much more modern, especially at night.... I have had many members in my car after dark

 

I will have to update the pics now I have a few more bits of carbon

What sort of money would you be looking at to get this sorted?

[spursmaddave]

It took the guy that did mine pretty much all day.... Quite a lot of work stripping the car down, removing old LEDs and soldering new ones the size of a pinhead then testing, fitting the trim back, recalibrating all the dials....

 

:poppy:

The pain in the arse was the strip/test/recalibration. It's a lovely mod though, and I'll certainly be doing it again to any future cars I own. Got a little bit nostalgic seeing those epics Dave Glad you are still enjoying them.

Is there actually a guide for this on here? I know there are a few others floating around the internet but if there isn't one on the forum then I might try to make one when I do mine.

Looks really nice but defo need to be a dab hand at soldering. Are any of the bulbs just twist lock or they all soldered?

They're all surface mounted LEDs of various types except the main interior light up by the rear view mirror. The soldering itself isn't THAT hard as long as you know what you're doing and have a steady hand. The problem is that if you do mess it up and burn the circuit board it's going to get really expensive really fast.
