didn't we do this as a group buy a couple of years ago?

i think that Andy got us the blue leds from superbright. in fact, i reckon that i still have my set (for the aircon controls etc) still in their packet. i never got around to putting them in (and i probably never will) so i can sell them on to you if you want.



yep... here's the link from two years ago: http://www.sasupra.com/forum/index.php?sho...c=484&st=20

Yiros is the expert on this subject. read thru pages 2-5 of the above thread for all your answers

Yeah. Got a couple I am playing with at the moment. One complete with blue LEDs. The second I am playing around with multiple colours such as the temp dial numbers blue and red. Can'y find time to finish these days. Have to get things ready for a Soupy jnr on the way.

The instructions for doing the LED mod on the climate control is great, but I found the resistors get quite hot and can get in the way, so I am changing a few minor things so I can have different colours and use smaller Resistors.

As for the clock and odometer I am yet to try it but have heard that coloured film and even cellophane works great.

Here's the info I used.

Have fun with it.

I have some blue gels left over if you need them.

I got your pm. Give me a couple of days to respond.

My clock is blue. Happy to swap with you if you like. My old odo is also blue so we may be able to swap that as well.

The A/C panel is a bit of work...

Cheers
