Classic Clock options?
anyone changed their clocks in a classic for something more funkier? or even just changed the green bulbs to LEDS?

I am guessing there is a slight tinge to the display but if you get blue LEDs then the display will be blue.
The needles aren't as bright in very dark light but still clear enough.
I have done the cigarette lighter but haven't got round to the heater controls yet.

I bought some off ebay but then some extras from ultraleds.co.uk
I found the led behind the clock needed to be a wide angle one, and also I got the tower style ones for the bigger bulbs with 9 leds on each.

I was nervous about geting in there but it is really easy (and I am definitely a novice at this).
There are a couple of screws in the outer surround. Get them out and then the other bits pop out. There is 1 more screw at the top folding in the clocks but then when you get there you can rotate the clocks, unclip the plugs and it lifts out.
This is a bit simplified a bit but it really is a simple process.
From what I remember it was 3 x T10 and about 5 x T5 for the dash but it depends what model you have as a mate of mine has 4 of the T10 bulbs.
Allow 20 mins start to finish.
Hope this helps.

No I bought them separately.
Due to the different numbers of bulbs for differeny models I would suggest checking how many bulbs you need before ordering and then you will know you have the correct amount.
At some point I will be taking the gauges apart too so they will all be blue.

Ultra Bright Leds and Led products at bargain prices with super fast delivery - by Ultra Leds U.K
They have a wide range on offer including some extra bright ones which I think are needed as it's a large area for the 3 T10 LEDs.
