Tom did you convert your dash yourself.

I fancy getting it done to some nova clocks. What was total cost roughly?

**TomH** · 17-07-2002 16:52

martin i just fitted white dials with 4 bluetacho leds behind and the dial surrounds where from that wonderful place called ccmotorsport

cost:

White dials : £34
Dial surronds £35 ish
LEDS: £16
Vaux badge £1

tom can u actually see what speed ur doing(not that u ever look the way u drive)or can u only see the needles move?

p.s looks nice

**Pete R** · 17-07-2002 22:05

dude , how do you see what t.f is goin on at night?

**PhilM** · 17-07-2002 22:09

its better than that in real life - much clearer

**TomH** · 17-07-2002 22:15

lmao yeah pics dont turn out very well, can see fine pete, tommcf pretty much all of it lights up, they work better when its pitch black but can see what spped ya doin

**Pete R** · 17-07-2002 22:44

Cool , would they work in the car interior lights?

**LEE69** · 17-07-2002 22:48

tom like was said at billing,the black standard dials and standard needles are brilliant with leds behind,but boring in the day.
they do look better though

**TomH** · 17-07-2002 22:56

yeah lee lol i was so tempted to go back to black after seeing how good they are at night, but i just think that white makes it so much better to look at

**Mr_PandaPaws** · 17-07-2002 23:57

I'm with TomH on this one, white dials with LED's ROCK!!

White dials help during the day, and if you put enought LED's in (Ermmm......I've got 8 red one's in!!lmao lmao lmao ) then it's nice and bright at night!!

Those pics don't do TomH's dash justice, seen em in the flesh and they are cool......but Tom, they aren't quite as good as mine!!

**Ross Clarke** · 18-07-2002 00:05

I did my dash recently, what do you think of this?

**TomH** · 18-07-2002 07:13

lmao lmao neil how did u fit the extra leds i remeber u saying coz i looked yesterday and there is no where to put em

lol

ross they green leds behind std mk4 dials ?

**Ross Clarke** · 18-07-2002 17:57

Tom,

Believe it or not they are actually blue covers for the bulbs, but they turned out green once a yellow light is put through them, and yes they are the standard Sri white dials.

I like them though, i used a red cover form the odometer.

Covers were from Maplins, 30p each, bargain.

What do you think?

**PhilM** · 18-07-2002 17:59

i still prefer that
