Playing with blue LED's

[lee may]

Had some leds kicking about so decided to stick a load in the Corsa heater area as they light up crap.

Bottom left hand side one reminds me of the 'Hannah-Babbara' twirly graphic thing that used to pop up after Scooby Do show.

[Evil]

Are they the same behind the fascia as the Astra F ones Lee??
If so, you only need 3 per side and they light up a treat
Unfortunately, my camera doesn;t take decent pics andpeople never send me pics of my work in their cars.

[lee may]

MFD ones are yours.

Others are what I had kicking about

There are always exceptions to the sweeping statements I make Olly
sorry bud....... you sent me LOADS

[lee may]

But I need some dash ones Ian

Has your new order come in?

If it has can you PM me how much for the dash on a corsa (Has the normal plug and plays) and your Paypal please

[Evil]

New LED's are a sore point right now bud.... the ones I ordered on the 4th December haven't arrived yet.... I've just swapped to a different supplier and ordered 1000 which should be here in a few days.

[lee may]

Ok cool, let me know when they come in

[dogsy]

how do they look in 'real life' Lee ?? from the pics they look like there are bright spots and unlit parts ? would be interested in getting a set if they look ok.

[Dexy]

would it be possible to do the trip computer.

[lee may]

On the Mk3 Astra and Corsa they have 2 bulbs that do the whole lot and is very dark and poorly lit.

I have put the 2 leds in the standard position plus glued extra at the 3 corners but not the top right (On left side) and not top left (On right side) as I ran out of leds.

Lee69 has done his with leds on his astra and they look loads better.

As for the fuel computer yes they can be done but you need to PM Evil

[OllyHewitt]

Ian - you've done it now here are some new and improved pics of mine when I had them in my Astra Turbo, I've watermarked them too so no-one can steel them and pass them off as their own!

All big thanks to Ian, my Astra Turbos interior changed from a normal bulb lit one, to an LED fest - check these pics out:

When my dash was out:

ahh i cant wait for my led's now

how hard is it to fit all theese as i am a n00b and never have taken a dash apart

[Evil]

lmao @ Olly.... dude... legend lmao

[Liam McCabe]

where do us get those led's from. and how much for how many? very interested

[Evil]

Bare LED's (with resistor) are £1 each, plug'n'play (for behind clocks and in mfd) are £2 each.... I get them from my stash of LED's that I buy direct from the manufacturer

[Liam McCabe]

is there a website or anyfin for the manufactor u get them from? cheers. also how many would u need for a full dash job?

[lee may]

Evil's LED's are 100 times better than the likes you see on ebay with there quoted specs that are impossible to make.

Get them from Evil, trust me you wont go wrong, He did do a fitting service too for switch's.

[Liam McCabe]

ohh i see. so i buy them from evil. i thought u were telling me 2 buy them from the manufactor. how would i pay for them as i dont have that paypal thing. and how many would i need 2 cover the dash of a mk2 astra gte

[lee may]

PM him and I am sure he will help you out,

Corsa heater panel area using 2 special plug and play leds, poor pic though..



Same panel using several 5mm leds placed to give a good light coverage..

ill take a pic of mine for you tonight then - they are working really well!

[Geordie-Chris]

When you say 'plug and play', do they just replace the standard bulbs i.e. fit in the exact same way, half turn out with the old, half turn in with the new??
