I know it's been discussed before but after searching I can't see exactly what I want and can't make my mind up.

Can you please post pics of your dash if it has been modified in any way so that I can have some ideas.

I'd like to just upgrade the bulbs to pure white LED's but from what I've heard the dash will be brighter in some places, compared to others.

Please let me know;

1. What you have done
2. Pics
3. Prices
4. Any other info including where from.

Here's some idea's I've seen, but I'm not sure its what I want. Maybe white dials with white and red backlit?

Here is my Lockwood dial, they look a treat in the night! and you dont have to change the bulbs either as all the colours (blue, green orange and red are coloured on the actuall dials so no need to change from the standard ones!

Lockwood dials = Chav

Disgusting looking things, if you have to do anything the best way is the metal monkeys

I really fancy a setup so it lights the same as a VW

^^ Cool

Metal Monkey FTMFW, can be tailored to what you want and illuminate in whatever colour you want too. And they do matching heater dials.



Not the best pics as they were taken off my phone but you get the idea. Need to get brighter LED's though.

I think all the above look shit (no offense to anyone). There isn't anything wrong with the standard dials, they are a lot nicer than most other cars the same age. When people try and change it it normally ends up looking tacky.

Love

Have you got a day time pic so that I can see what it looks like in the light.

Think I might use this as an example for mine and get mine done with metal monkey's.Cool

Jamma just so you know, Paul got them in the group buy. I've spoken to Metal Monkey since then and they won't honour the price any more as it happened last January, so you're looking at £85 for the dials + £15 for any customised logos etc + £10 for different fonts. Heater controls are £20 iirc. And LED's are about £3 a pop from them. Oh and delivery's £5 too.
