Changing Dash Lights

[kiza1986]

Ive just bought a brand new pioneer p70bt head unit (built in bluetooth : D ).....only problem is which isnt very major but the screen for the head unit is blue and all the buttons etc etc and i was wondering if anyone know's anywhere that can change the bulbs behind the dash eg, clock, limiter, heater knobs etc??

Thanks

What car?

Mk2's use surface mount LED's

Surely the Pioneer has an option to change the backlighting to match that of your car.

not on the bt version , its blue or blue maybe its some thing to do with eh BLUETOOTH

but yer it is pssible to change everything else to blue , the dails are a pain as there leds 1 person on here has done that. leds u can buy for 12-20 quid , some flla on ebay will fit at a cost of 70 quid

the clock has a film behind it that should be easy to change

the clock has a film behind it that should be easy to change

Lol ye i thought bluetooth and blue...I read the post on here before about someone changing the little led bulbs and they said they didnt fancy changing them all so does anyone know a professional place that'll do it??

you need 10 leds altogether

2 for speedo and rev gauge 1 for fuel and temp and 4 for the display

i got mine from here

but just remember they are about the same size as the 5 on a 5 pence piece

dink before when u said they was surface mount ones i thought u ment like the ones u find on a ps2 like the 1mm x 2mm ones

 

[Dink]

they are this big

Does anyone do a fitting service?

 

[the_ferret]

dink, it looks like you could make a few quid here....lol

 

[Dink]

not really an easy thing to do as i'd have to do a while you wait service at their location because you couldn't drive the car without the dials

its a pain in the arse to do iv done mine in blue.it looks very good but it takes ages and my dash has not gone back in the same

 

[kiza1986]

I know really i should take my dash out and stop being a lazy s**t but does anyone know if these are the same for the temp nobs etc etc??

You got a pink of yours on dink?
