Good work Julian! payment sent! =)

PM'd paypal address request

Have any kits been shipped out yet?

Hi,

I dont have any pdf files as my instructions are sold with my kits in the form of a booklet and my led's also have a simple but important difference to them that gives the instrument cluster a much better light spread and illuminates the needles properly.

I can give you a quick breakdown of how to simply swap the bulbs in the instrument cluster over though, its very easy. You will need a long phillips head screwdriver and a stubby one. :-) :

1. Adjust steering wheel to lowest position.

2. Grab plastic trim behind steering wheel and pull it off with a hand on each side.

3. Locate and remove the four screws holding the black plastic shroud to remove it.

4. Locate and remove the four screws securing the clocks.

5. Release the electrical connectors behind the instrument cluster

6. Install the LED's into the three largest green bulb holders by twisting them out and swapping the bulbs.

7. Make sure you test for correct polarity before refitting by plugging everything back in and switching the lights on, whatever one is not working needs to be removed, rotated 90 degrees, refitted and retested.

8. Refit everything as per reversal of removal in true Haynes style.

9. Sit in your car and gaze, awestruck at your accomplishment for a while but then realise that you would like the rest of your dash to match your speedo, that you may of even possibly bought the wrong LED's and that you now actually crave a full kit from Spree lol

I did it in the dark!

I love doing it in the dark...

question, i just realized the us spec has 4 lights. three can be seen here. i just added more to create more light dispersion

but the fourth one is located in the rear window defogging, that will light up green...

can you supply the 4th one...

Hi,

Just to confirm that the backlighting is provided by three removable bulbs as you have shown in your picture. These are easily changed using my kit.

The button indication LED's such as the one found in the rear window demister button need to be unsoldered and the new LED's need to be resoldered in.

I do not provide these as my kit is intended as a DIY kit without the need to be any good at solderering. I feel that changing the backlighting colour gives a very satisfying result that will suit most people but I do understand that some will want to also change the button colour. I also do not have time to do this service for people.

In the UK I recommend these people to a guy on the UK forums who will do this as a service if you send him your unit for £20 ($32 ish) but I dont know about over your way. I can contact him for you though if you are really desperate? He does really good work.

Julian;

I was just looking through a kit you send to Kellen awhile ago; whats this bulb for?


I went through your instructions, briefly mind you, but didn't see where this LED was used...?
