Ok i replaced the 3 big bulbs behind my clocks today but i'm not sure if there are other smaller ones that i need to replace or not as i'm not sure if they look bright enough. Is there ones for needle illumination or does pic below look about right? | |

quote: All you need is some cable driven clocks, I got mine from a GSI. All you need to make the rev counter work is a piggyback from the ECU, very easy indeed. The clocks fit fine, shame size as the non-rev counter clocks. Mileage changing is easy, just fiddle with the little white gogs, do a search, theres loads on it. And for your current clocks, I canna mind the bulb type, but you can buy them on wwwultraleds.co.uk [Edited on 22-07-2007 by ChrisBoom] | |

Is there not a few things you need to look out for with changing clocks - if so what are they? | |

quote: Not really, they take different bulbs to the rev counter clocks. TBH mate, I would save up and buy a set of rev counter clocks, I got mine for £15 delivered, and you can change the mileage to what is on your current clocks now. They look MUCH better than the non-rev counter dials too. I have done it on my corsa, 1.2 1995, works perfect, look good. | |

I have just fitted LED's to my MFD and Heater Controls which was simple enough. I now want to do the speedo and have the bulbs waiting to go in - how do I do it? |
