looking to try something new with my dash/centre consol lights
is there a way that the orange can be removed and either be 'see through(white)' or a diff colour?

anyone done this? is there an FAQ or how to on it?
and if it has been done have anyone got pics?

there's no how to cos everyone gives up I think! This comes up every now and again, people buy clocks from carl to try it and don't bother!

I think there's better things to spend the time on

yeah but orange is boring!

even if it was to remove the orange film and go see through!

does anyone know if its do-able?

Grab a set off carl and give it a go, it's do-able, just hard work!

just to bring this up..... has anyone attempted and successfully completed this??

No. It is not possible. You need to replace the transfers and aftermarket ones are pretty poor or hard to get hold of.

well in that case im going have to get working, i work for a plastics company and our 3mm thick poly should do the trick. have to get medremmel out as well...... I WILL SUCCEED lol

did it pmsl,...... finally.

Show us some pics then!

lol i will when i get some new bulbs, the standard lights up a yellowey colour so ordering some leds, see if they makes a difference. At least its not orange lol. i will add a pic or 2 when i gets darker.

So have you just removed the orange film . I would like to see it in other colours like blue if it can be done

is that worked

i havent got any bulbs for the heater as they have blown but they 2 have gone to clear. i just need to get bulbs that are white, not oldey yellowey colour

well i'll try a load of colours and put the pics up to see if it works.
What i did was take it all apart, took the dial faces off and spents 2 hours gently rubbing with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover

Respect
Great job, will be following this with interest.

Me too

thanks, just got to wait for some leds to arrive.

I had trouble with led dash bulbs, because the beam is more focused than a normal bulb the light is not spread evenly behind the dash causing the dials to look very dim. I used SMD led's thinking the light would be better spread but i think the only other options would be to sand paper the surface of a normal led or use something to diffuse the light better.

hmmmmm thanks for the thought, i will see how it goes, i work with polycarbonate so mite be able to make an adapter or something. the led's are in the middle of the dials so shouldnt be to bad. we'll have to wait and see lol.

Make sure you bypass the dash dimmer too or you can damage the LEDs

oooohhh yea pmsl, that would be amusing.


but for a little quiz, whats wrong in that picture, i noticed it this morning on the way to work.....?

The oil pressure/voltage dial needs to be shifted left slightly?

nope that might just be the angle of the pic...

its more obvious but very frustrating

is there a small chip out of the dial by 90mph? (could be a reflection)

lol no, obviously my lights are on, but i swear i had a little light on my dash telling my lights are on.......

ooooo i've just ordered some red/blue/and white leds. trying to find green and any other colours.

Oh yea! like this >o< oh well it's coming off again anyway!

Has anybody tried These http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-COUPE-PLA...#ht_3250wt_1141  

yea i tried them, ended up getting a full refund. really nice bloke to deal with. problem was, he only has 1 design, the 1 he has doesnt have the volt meter and they were slightly to small, the needle holes were to close together.

hey guys, i have received red, white and blue 286 size diodes, hope they the rite ones. i was told they were.... will be fitting them tomorrow. keep you posted
