Re: Changing dashboard bulbs? anyone done it?
I'm guessing the LEDs used are probably the SMD ones, I've used them quite a lot as I used to do colour conversions on car switches.
If you're going to do it yourself get a soldering iron with a fine tip and some tweezers because they're bloody small! Here's one pictured on a 1p coin to give you an idea of size http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/c226b6de.jpg And that's not even the smallest you can get! |
Re: Changing dashboard bulbs? anyone done it?
I swapped mine for blue last year and thought it was really easy to do.
I have a little soldering experience so if your willing to give it a go, maybe test on something old first. A desolder pump is essential as the existing LEDs are fitted with a large amount of solder. So heat one side of each LED and remove one side of solder on each first. Then start on the second side of each and prise them off as you heat. Check my flickr in the sig for some pix. |
