Paul,
How do I change the switches and clock to match??

Cheers,
Iain.

Iain,

Have you started to convert to blue lights yet, if not - fancy meeting up and working on both cars together?

SDUKES - Bulbs sent as requested.

Dyney - Problem with the switches and clock, they use a much smaller bulb for illumination. The manufacturer in Taiwan would require a order in the thousands before they could tool up for this, so unless I get a massive interest in the bulbs, I suspect it won't be happening !

Is it possible to change the green coloured film in the switches to blue? (The bulbs are white!!!)

Simon,
I've done the instrument cluster, going to try the heater controls (again) today.

SDUKES 12 July 2002 11:35 AM

OK, might put up a posting if I get stuck!!

phew just finished putting in the bulbs - Paul thanks for getting them here for Sat. will post a photo asap..... definately easier to solder the ones in the heater panel.. 2 hours total install time in this heat...!!!

BoxerFlat4 15 July 2002 10:06 AM

gaz - you should be up to date with e-mails, let me know if interested ! :D

SDUKES - Irony is, once you've done it once, second time around is alot easier ! :D Hope your happy with the result.

For anyone else interested, my current stock is almost gone, I will be re-ordering but this will probably take 2 weeks min., so anyone in a rush for these, let me know !

:D

SDUKES 15 July 2002 10:57 AM

tested them last night - looks great..

SDUKES 21 July 2002 05:13 PM

I have to add great customer service from Paul at http://theGecko.biz - one of the bulbs blew and he's replaced it F.O.C! thanks Paul (picures to follow shortly)

Huxley

stephen30 11 August 2002 06:37 PM

Got he bulbs in yesterday, but cheers anyway. Only prolem now is all the dash lights have gone out, as well as the fogs. :(

Steve

Huffer 17 September 2002 04:24 AM

So what happened in the end? Did we manage to get the dash converted or what?

I like the idea of a blue illumination on the dash and the instruments...the green glow ain't my thang.

Plus, the blue goes well with the new Nokia cellphones! :P

Huxley 17 September 2002 09:36 PM

What's all this fuss with the blue dash thingy;) as i have no idea ;)
