Group Buy - Halo Clocks?

**Assasin** · Thursday 24th November 2005, 21:37

Sorry for the delay in get back to you all on this, been working away again.

Yes the do go over your existing clocks but they are rigid not like a sticker (DONT BEND THEM!! Or they wont work!!)

I have a full set of picture based instructions on fitting anyway.

I will re email the company and see where about this is upto later on. Can some one total up who wants what please?

I'll have a bit of that if you would be so kind. Feb 96 850 t5

**deerworrier** · Sunday 27th November 2005, 22:57

defo, put me down for a set, 855 with 150mph. how do we send the money?

**nobananas** · Sunday 27th November 2005, 23:03

Sorry to sound a bit sad but are they dimmable ?

**Assasin** · Sunday 27th November 2005, 23:06

Not sure how we will get the money together yet, maybe we should nominate a trusted treasurer?

On the dimmer question, no they are not. Sorry.

Still waiting for the company to come back to me!!

But i did call them today and left a message on on the answer phone (in the Usa)

if they're not too much of a chore to fit, and dependent on design (original looking etc) then I'd have a set

**Assasin** · Tuesday 3rd January 2006, 00:33

Ok just emailed ALL the addresses again...

Will keep you informed...

**shiney** · Tuesday 3rd January 2006, 08:52

I'm sory, but I don't see the point in these. Am i missing something?

Because of the green backing on the original dials, you can just replace the standard bulbs for blue ones and they will work a treat.

Also as a useful tip, if you go out and buy a few sets of push in 20's christmas lights, the bulbs are 12volt rated and are easily removed from their bulb holders. Of course, they'll also be on a special price in the sale bins too. Use the blue ones to replace the existing lamps and you'll be fine.

It might look nice but it wouldnt have this effect though would it..?

The whole dial set is on big light you see.. not just bulbs behind them.

yeah, that's fair enough and i see what you mean, but you'llalso have to bear in mind the fact that the LCD display will still be backlit in green.

**Assasin** · Tuesday 3rd January 2006, 12:58

and that is something i had not thought of..

Well spotted...

Can the bulb for that be changed to a different colour then?

I'm looking into it in the next few days, I'll let you know how i get on but I suspect it can be changed to blue.

''but you'll also have to bear in mind the fact that the LCD display will still be backlit in green''

This must be changeable also. - I assume.

My bro repairs Sony equipment, and in my old car, i gave him my headunit and he changed the color of the lcd display from orange to green to match my dash, but i could have had a few other colors.
