Interior LED mod and Dashboard conversion

[ZackyG]

Hello there,
I have been looking recently about for any tutorials on how to do an LED conversion of the dashboard but I can not find any. I was wondering if anyone had one or could link me one that would show me how to do it and how to remove my dashboard to do it. Furthermore, would you be able to tell me exactly what LED's I would require to do this and how many?
Also I want to put 3 subtle LED's in the door however I can't find any... All I can find are the strips but I think that they look way too bright, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this?
many thanks
​Zack

zack what are you exactly hoping to convert? just the dash rev cluster or all the lights in your car? the dash cluster will involve soldering on a precise level, i can tell you that much as i have done it myself.

I'm looking to change the dash cluster and the AC unit

Or does anyone know what service I need to search for, for someone to do this for me?

How much mate??

 

[CRS-Mike]

depends really on what wants doing, like the dash, switches etc. i mean also depends where you live as well, im over in norwich. but you can send the bits in post etc

lol is love to be able to do this myself mate but I'm f**king useless when it comes to things like this. Is it a day long job? I could always come to you of that's more convenient?

 

[CRS-Mike]

it is really yer, at least a few hours. you can do if you want. pm me. other thing is, what dash are you using at the moment? is that the one? there is a digital variant which i have you see, they use the same led's tho.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah that's the one. Can you do centre console etc as well!

 

[CRS-Mike]

yer all do-able. this is what my dash look like after i did mine:


just all depends what colors you want. the heater controls are a b*****d since you can only keep them the same or change to red. cig lighter is the same as well, cant change the color of it.

Have you done it yourself ?

Have you done it yourself ?

Yeah, a soldering iron with a fine tip, needle-nose pliers/tweezers and some patience.
