Not yet, ill get hold of some more needles and try it with them, blue doesnt reflect very well off of red lol. Do u have white dials?

 

[Jaffa182]

That looks cool as f**k.

Does it cost very much and is it a ball ache to do?

 

[Jaffa182]

Its not much for the leds but its quite hard to do. Took me bout 2days to do very orange light in the car lol.

Jaffa182 - Just PM'd you from another post on the forum, didn't realise you had posted here lol, so some of the questions i asked in the message have been answered here lol thanks. What leds have you used in the clock?

Nice choice in head unit, same as mine!

Gonna have to take a pic of my dials and see how bright the blue looks in the photo because mine doesnt look as bright as yours lol but might just be the photo.

Can i buy a set of dials off eBay and do it to them and then put them in my Clio so if i mess them up i dont ruin my originals? or does the little computer with mileage, mgp and so on have to be the original one?

Do ya need to solder in the LED's ? Has any one found the how to guide for dis-assembling the cluster?
