Just wondering if it is possible to change the dash lights on a TL, ive had the dash apart and had a fiddle, but as far as i can see its all printed circuit.

has anyone done this?

It's all LED in there isn't it? I don't think it's been done by anyone here yet.

Yeah its all LED, but as far as i can see its not plug n play,
Its all Printed led's and theres a fair few of them, but i may be wrong haha

Yeah, they are hard......... too difficult to remove....

Could there be only one.....Clicky (http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee217/SH00T/1DialBest.jpg)

It looks better now, the RPM and KMP/H text are fixed.

Nice. Can you perform a similar trick to my Climate control?

Maybe, I need to see the inside.

No worries. I shall organise some pics. The climate backlight does have bulbs but they are not replaceable in the little socket things. I wouldnt mind blue to match the HU.

Thats EXACTLY what im after haha.

How difficult was it? were there actually t10 Bulbs or did you have to solder in to the printed circuit?

Neither.......

This looks a bit wierd, but the results are often better than TJ S1 and earlier as their are no bright blotches any where.
The key was the right product. After a series of tests, the right product was laser printable Over head projector film. Photocopied a light blue page so I had light blue film as the end product.

This took a lot of trial and error.

Leave lots of space around the tacho and speed needles, It must be done in two halves as to twist the pieces in around the needles. Keep clear of the needles, its easy to jam them.
It is secured by the large tabs with tape.....;)
Tape little tabs, that slide up from the bottom to cover the RPM and KMP/H.

You will lose a lot of the brightness, and you will have turned up full all the time if you do as I have done here.

At least I was the only one for while............................................. .................................................. ............
