how hard do you think these are to fit??

As the title says am looking at these lights for the dash it says i will need extras but im no electrician has anyone else done this before and how hard can it be???

whats the worst that could happen?

I think it just needs a bit of soldering to get them working, nothing a local auto spark couldn't do in 20mins like

Yup, I have, then again, thats what I do on this forum - to me thats expensive - £25 for 36 LED's. But If you want to ahead and get them, I wrote a "how to guide" some time ago - http://www.internetwork.org.uk/led_guide/led.htm - this tells you whats involved, tool, other parts that you'll need

Takes me almost and hour... and I know what I' doing! like I said, this "kit" is only the LED's you'll also need resistors etc...

WOW?! ok that looks abit complicated but ill give it ago i think!

to me thats expensive - £25 for 36 LED's ........ Were else could i get the LED'S from cheaper???

Just save all the hassle and get a conversion from Heckler

+1, heckler is the man to see when it comes to dash conversions.

Hello Stu,

i got led plug and play from this company for the JZA80 no extras needed. ask if he still has these through the ask a question section. some complain about the windscreen glare off hid dashes. as i say i have led and find them realy nice and light blue, more white. 5 times as bright as original bulbs.

i have the electrical skills of a shaved chimp and got mine fitted in around 35 mins.

whole dash must come off and work one section at a time. dash, console. dash takes around 10 to 12 bulbs all just pull out and slot new ones in.

the clock takes 2 big bulbs one top one bottom. when you take the dials out you can change all bulbs without opening the unit just twist and pull.

once you get them in you will have 2 big bulbs left for the rear plate.

and 2 big bulbs for the running lights. i have hid main and fog on a 1999 facelift N/A and the bulbs you get give around the same power and match up well.

sorry for going on a bit but this is the first topic i actually iknow something about.

These look pretty smart. Would like to see a "how to" on getting them fitted.

Whats your prices again Si? Also, what components do I need to send you?

Cant you buy 12v LED'S then or do you still have to use the little resistor on the positive leg.

nope. All led's need resistors.

hey, probably best to PM rather than spam this thread

nope. All led's need resistors.

not quite maplin sell 12v and 5v leds that require no resistor

not quite maplin sell 12v and 5v leds that require no resistor

Nope as Heckler quite rightly said all LED's require some current limiting (ie. resistor in series unless operating at its forward voltage ~1.1 - 3V depending on LED). Those 5V and 12V Led's that Maplin sell will have an inbuilt resistor to make them idiot proof as its just too tempting to put them across a 9V battery.

"F*ck thats bright.......... POP....... smell of arsenic.......feeling dizzy...... best sit down for a bit"

(yes i've done it!).

If i was you dude save yourself alot of hassle and then getting leds in the wrong place modding shit to allow you to fit led's, then finding out that where you put them doesnt give an even glow and you have to take it apart again, get a conversion off Heckler it will be perfect first time.

Nothing like the dashboard glaring you in the face while driving at night, those led`s look way to bright to me.

Thats when you use resistors to control the brightness, the bigger the bigger the resistor, the dimmer the led will be

the fact that you have a selection of shaved monkey pics worries me nic. but your not far off. lol
