Yeah, talk to me...
I can do you plug and play LED's for your dials for £1.95 each in...
blue, red, green, purple and white (there's a few pink left too but they're not that reliable)

You want me to solder the switches up for you??
Or you fancy having a bash at that yourself?

**LEE69** · 08-10-2003 17:03

John,they are leds,ready soldered into bulb holders,so all you need do is replace them.

**johnsastra16v** · 08-10-2003 17:11

will changing to coulered LEDs really make a difference? what i mean is,isit worth changing to coloured ones??? i spreyed my dash blue.and i dont really wanna start taking parts out again (incase i scratch the paint and mess itup) unless it'll be worth it.

**johnsastra16v** · 08-10-2003 19:16

john get the leds and get theses from lee may if hes got any left.they are like white dials in the day but when powered up look amazing,there electroluminescent sheet.

**Evil** · 09-10-2003 00:04

I was going to go down that road Lee...
Quite like the idea of the 'indiglo' dials and then having the needles in whaatever colour I chose (think red would have been 'de rigeur' for me)

As always, there were other things to spend the money on at the time

It's a more expensive option buddy....
Send me a pm or email with exactly what you want and we'll go from there

**mavvmad** · 11-10-2003 22:48

Pm sent dude

**mavvmad** · 11-10-2003 22:52

Just a thought, what would happen if you put a red led behind these clocks?

Would it distort the indiglo or would we have blue background and a red needle?

**Evil** · 11-10-2003 22:54

You should get red needles bud..... that's what I'm thinking of for the future of my clocks....
A way down the list for now though

**mavvmad** · 11-10-2003 23:03

Summat like this is what I had in mind

I think it looks bloody nice

**Wiverage** · 15-10-2003 06:23

Ok so i take it you need new needles or can you just paint the old ones to the colour you want?

**Evil** · 15-10-2003 07:49

If you have indiglo dials, just fit some LED's...
If you don't have indiglo, just fit some LED's

On a mk3 astra the needles light up whatever colour led/bulbs you use.I'm guessing the mk4 is the same.

**adamSRi** · 15-10-2003 08:21

mk4s are the same. no indiglo dials available for the newer models at the present time though.

**Wiverage** · 27-10-2003 15:21

Hmm ok so when do you think mk4's will be out on the selling? And how much do you think they will go for?

lee may · 27-10-2003 15:29

Give www.plasmadials.co.uk an email or I can get 5 sets made up for £100 a set.

Its expensive I know but the 5 off sets will be made by hand and come from America.

I have had some Nissan 200SX dials made up for a few friends because they are in the same boat (Ie none avalible)

**JohnnyDMonic** · 28-10-2003 13:05

lee, any news on the latest batch yet?
