Did a bit of a change on my Headlights switch!

Took me about 20 mins!

I have chosen UV Led's (bit more subtle than blue, kinda purple!).

picys...

5032

5033

5034

Dead easy!

Next will be the drivers door switch module!

I also changed the switch lights for the fogs & side lights on the board.

£5.65 for 100 UV LED's & 12v resistors from China! Took 4 days!

The second pic (if you look really close) shows a resistor in the lightbulb socket.

This is the trickiest part!

Bend the resistor leg as close to the resistor as possible, twist onto one leg of the LED, touch of solder, cut as short as possible.

This should be short enough to fit inside the bulb casing!

HTH!

I've done my dash already, but mine uses the older bulb holders. I did do a how-to on the old VPCUK site, and meant to do one for the new site, but haven't really had the time lately.

Just fished the door switch out!

It's all PCB type LED's! Arse!

I'll need to look at the options for fitting these!

The iron is about £20! Dunno about the LED's!

Oh well!

££££ me! How do you see the road at night?

Is this heading for an 80's classic?

Sunglasses at night?
