Curvy blue clocks
 
I was wondering if it was possible to change the normal and somewhat dull white light to a much brighter blue one. Would it be as simple as just replacing the light(s) or can't it be done? And also are there custom clock decals you can get, such as ones with SV logos on them and the like?

Cheers :D

I changed the bulbs in my clocks for some green LEDs also changed the bulbs in my old nekkid for blue LEDs and they worked fine.

i think there is a company that do white dials or something but their name escapes me at the moment

Yes that is correct, which is why I said what I did as the OP has a curvey in his avatar so I presume he has a curvey in which case the mention of chewys stuff is irrelevant and pointless :rolleyes:

No electrician needed- unless you can't change a bulb by yourself?

What colour do you want and i'll find a link for you.

I'd like blue ones please :D

Is it as simple as taking off the cover and popping out the bulbs? I assumed they were soldered onto a board or something.

What you need to do is take off the front fairing, take off the clocks, open them up, swap the bulbs, put the clocks back together, put them back on the bike (test all the lights are working at this point) put front fairing back on and then go have a cuppa while you marvel at your handyness as it was soooo easy to do ;-)

Seeing as I'm about to start a front end rebuild, and one of my bulbs has already blow could be good to get replacements LED's. Do you have link to where you purchased your LED's dirtydog?

Thanks.

These are pretty much what I've got in mine. Only need 3 to light the dials up

I also replaced the idiot lights in the dash with the relevant coulour LEDs as well i.e amber for the indicators, green for neutral

Ohhh.. Sweet!

Thanks for the link as well! I need 3? Schweeet.. 3 for each clock or 3 for all? Lol :D

Re: Curvy blue clocks
 
3 will light up both dials, basically one between the dials and then one each side of them if that makes sense?

Re: Curvy blue clocks
 
Ahh, I see. :)

Definatly added to the "list of easy things to do in the garage when it's raining". It'll match the paint as well haha.

My old man will call me a chav but then he's just jealous. He wants to the same with his Corsa interior and clocks.. LOL
