Clock lightbulb

[Maxx]

Im just starting to mod my dasboard on my clio and was wondering what bulb the clock uses on a mk1 1.2 clio as im going to replacing it with a blue led, once its been resprayed

does it matter?

if your going to swap it with and led why do you need to know?

anyway there is a guide to this in the members section.

Why not join?

yeah.... what he said ^

 

[diamond geezer]

you will have to strip the clock apart as there is flamin huge orange filter in there! its not easy

youll need one of these !! http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=410&osCsid=4209ecacba3877142a6a91949da5f330http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=410&osCsid=4209ecacba3877142a6a91949da5f330

Its an osram 12/1.2 !! The clock has an orange lense in it as diamond says !!

all you need to do is remove the orange lense and put it all back together !!

i think it looks the dog bollox, will defo be doing mine when i rip a part my dash for spraying

 

[cliosportcraig]

looks a lot brighter than that but i couldnt use the flash on the camera because it looked like daylight and without the flash looked really dark !!

 

[fUbAr]

yeah would probably look much better in the real world rather than this digital one

 

[steveyb]

how strange, this is almost the same as the topic i was about to start



basically im also a blue man, but i want the whole dash blue

how hard is it to do this? is it the same as cliosportcraig has showed us with the clock?

i was gonna ask what colour the williams dials glow?

Im attempting this tomorrow !! All the LEDs will be here tomorrow morning and ill have pics for tmrw night !!

Basically the bulbs arent orange they are normal clear/yellow ones and there is an orange lense which makes the dials glow orange. Im gonna replace the bulbs with VERY bright LEDs that will hopefully glow through a deep purple/blue !! Because blue and orange makes purple !! youll see the after effects tomorrow night !!

 

[steveyb]

so they aint all the same as the clock?

(im guessing the clock only glows orange due to that filter that goes over the bulb itself?)

and where are you buying these LEDs from?

am i right in guessing they are a kit to directly replace the bulbs with bezels?

 

[Maxx]

gonna be spraying the clock siver aswell so it should show up a bit nicer and go well with my metal heater backing i got. will also prob spray the heater knobs as well with the orange filter removed on the heater knobs

I will try and get some pics up once its all done over the weekend and post them on here to see if anyone could suggest what else i can do to make it look good

bin it and get a custom dash

 

[Maxx]

all done i used tin foil around the inside edges to make the clock brighter. the only problem is - i cant get the damn clock to work again
