Didn't replace them as such. Just de-soldered the LEDs from the KnockLink, mounted them in the top of the plastic trim that fits around the dials with LED clips and connected them all back up to the Knocklink with some screened multicore cable. Bit of hot glue applied to stop it all coming apart. KnockLink box hidden behind the dashboard. Job's a good-un

Thanks for the replys guys,i too remote mounted a set but used the originals,
Not toooo sure about them being 12v ? I thought around 2.5-5volts,will have to get some and try it...Anyone else ?

Its the standard LEDs they use, off the top off my head it should say something like Vf = 2 Volts in the spec

Basically don't buy anything labelled 'low current' - standard is what you need.
You can buy LEDs that be put across 12v, or 24v etc - it just means it comes with a resistor inline. But in this case you just want the LED only

This has to be one of the neatest and easiest (as in piece of ****..!) methods of mounting a KL. No bother removing LEDs, just remove KL case and use as template to drill holes in dash shroud. I did this and just gaffer taped KL gubbins in position once LEDs were in holes.
Takes about 30 mins, and yes they are very visable. lol, you even get a 'heads up' in dash..!

Hold on guys thread seems to be going off topic !
Ive done the remote leds in all kinda places and have always used the originals desoldered from the board BUT the question i asked which is getting varied answers is................................................ ....
What voltage leds are used in the k/link as standard,now without setting it up on the bench and measuring the outputs there seems to be varied opinions....

Will go for the 2.5's or 3-5v's as 12v is too high in my opinion...Will let you know after ive tested the output at different levels,Cheers guys.
jaytc this info will probably come in handy for you then when you knacker yours stripping the oems ones out of the unit,the slightest bit tooo much heat and they're shagged.
