Dashboard Colour light change

[Claws]

Seeing the topic ref LED lights (external) reminded me of something i was considering on my last car. I was tempted to change to factory fitted ones to Red!

 

Has anyone tried or done this? I think Red Dashboard lights at night time would look pretty impressive, If so, is it a simple case of popping out your dashboard and replacing LED's or is it Fibre Optics and a whole different ball game?

I had mine done on my transit van. Had all changed to blue led, they had to be soldered. But couldn't say about the jag?

Thanks Phil

 

It would appear no one has done this, shame as i would have been interested to hear about it

I did change a couple of dead bulbs on my 430 on the heated seats control panel, they were just push fit easy job but had to get bulbs from Lexus couldn't seem to get the correct size anywhere else. So if all the bulbs are same size for all other lighting I think you would be struggling to get led's???

Do you think its LED's in the dash? 

 

I might have a look at some of the doc's i have been putting together, to see if there is a diagram / description available, and take it from there.

Das lights can be changed, I read on one of the other Jag sites that it had been done, and yes you can change to LED.

Hi there. Yes you can do it. I'm doing that to mine. It just takes a bit of time, pacience and some soldering! The led's you can get cheap from any chinese suplier.
