Well now that I've figured out all the parts required, I could probably do a whole dash in about 3 hrs incuding pulling apart and refitting.

Any chance in a detailed tutorial so all us 'Dash' wannabee's can consider a similar modification....

?

Do you think you could do my dash for me?

I love your LEDs as well....
How long u took to change all the leds?
Also, how much u spent?

It probably cost me 80 bucks or so (I used extreme bright leds for the main pod they are nearly 8 bucks each)
About 5 hrs so far (maybe more) half of that was just figuring out what I could use and the layout etc.
Chopsticks, I'll write up a tutorial soon, you may want to have a go yourself, it's not too hard.

Gav, I hope to write a tute this weekend, and yes G1, I have seen Johns site in the U.K.
That's why I gave it a go, I like the look of his pics, I believe mine has come up way better though

He is setting up 'kits' of some description, bugger that, you can do it yourself loads cheaper.
There is no tech info on how to do it on his site, just a link for his kits.

another way to change the colour of your dash lights

paint the globes with nail polish

Hey Dash
Just checking which shop you bought your LED from, The size of the LED and other components needed.
Ive taken apart my DASH before so fairly familiar with the set up. i originally took the globes out and put blue sleeves over them, however it was not bright enough. If you can let me know where to get the stuff and exactly what i need, hopefullly i can figure out the rest!
Thanks in advance!
