Clocks
 

Has anybody changed the LEDs on the clocks. Ie to make em a different color?

Betcha Northwind has! :lol:

There have been a couple of threads about this before, I'll see what I can dig up.

cheers

Nah, but betcha he's talked about it!

You can't use LED's on the clocks as the light isn't uniform. You can swap the neutral/fuel/main beam for LED's but its not a 2 second job unless you have the fairing off, and even then 1 x 10mm led doesn't provide the same light output for each.

If that is so, can you please explain the link above.... :?:

I'm pretty sure on the FI models LEDs are what provide the backlight for clock and screen. 8 of them, according to the description for the replacement ones.

thats what I thought.. the only other option is to put a filter behind the window, but me thinks that would be poo :)

People have already done this and said it doesn't work, I'm only going off other peoples comments. To get the light uniform you need a transparency deflector (like what mobile phones use).
