New Roadster LED guides!

Re: New Roadster LED guides!

this one is for Kane or Rich... I'm soldering now but have come to the front fog switch and noticed that on FQ101 it states that the backlight is the smaller of the LEDs. Is this correct? I'm going to need a smaller LED if I need to swap over the smaller one...

Wow those look great leds sometimes look patchy when lighting displays but there sweet.

Things only look patchy when people fit LEDs to to things that weren't designed for them like the 450 speedo. The Roadster was designed for LEDs.

Not at all. Just want things to be right.

"This is white backlights with white needles on Brabus dials"

...and I've just noticed that your temp and boost are the other way around to my Brabus' - how odd!!

The white needles look much better but you only get them on the Brabus.
On OTV's Roadster we scraped the red paint off the back and painted the backs of the needles with tipex.
Worked really well.

This is white backlights with red needles on standard dials:

Re: New Roadster LED guides!

I'm going down the white route as Rich has but wondered what it would look like with the white LEDs but leaving the needles red? Did you try this Rich or just go straight for the all-white? (Barrymore pun intended).

I suppose I could always leave the needle LEDs alone and refit to see if i like it first... Anyone else fancy posting a pic with other combinations?

Re: New Roadster LED guides!

Have you got working pods yet, or is it just the dials you want doing?

Re: New Roadster LED guides!

No worries

Re: New Roadster LED guides!

No, just the LEDs, obviously those are Brabus dials too

Cheers for the info Rich!
