Here's my latest mod, just completed the finishing touches this morning. Some of the pics are a little poor, but it's not easy to take a pic of this.















I left the "engine cool" light blue so I could tell it apart from the "engine about to explode because it's so hot" light.

How does it look?

 

hey thats tight! I wanna do this to my xB but all yellow leds.

 

Hmmm. Looks good, but maybe just a bit excessive.

Those LEDs in the gauges are tiny. Got any pics of the board after your swap?

 

excessive? That is awesome.

 

looks awesome. now if i could just do mine.

 

 

sorry...i'm colorblind so i can't really tell the difference between what you did and what they are normally lol. but good job anyways!!

 

The warning light LED's are huge (2.8 x 3.5 mm), it's the ones in the head unit that are tiny (0.8 x 1.6 mm). No pics of the board, but my skills are definitely no match for the machine that made it. Tiny tweezers and the best $5.99 I ever spent at Harbor Freight got me through it.



The little LED on top is for the head unit backlight on my first attempt.

 

Man I don't know what you're talking about, I think doing an gauge conversion is awesome. I'm like Nick though (N7) in that I'm colorblind so I can't tell any difference really.

I think one of the coolest things was your speedometer panel reading your SL name.

 

Killer job Brent....
The green stands out well.
I still want to do mine but I dont think I have the guts to to attempt it ...tiny leds and fat fingers dont go well together

 

Thanks everyone.

Nick and Scott, sorry I forgot about you guys: they're green.

Chris, my fat fingers, old man eyesight, and a cataract in the center of my vision did ok with tiny tweezers and the magnifying visor thingy.

As far as being excessive, they're brighter than stock but those were all the same color of yellow so I don't really understand that comment.

 

Wow Brent....that is awesome. How hard was it to do the head unit?? I'd love to get ride of that damn ulgy amber color the stock unit has. I like what you did. Looks great. I need to get on the ball and start doing some new mods to mine.

 

WOW>. Nice job there Brent!
Now I really need to get off my buttside and get stuff rolling.



Yes, Chad I know your 1st for the tC mod.. ::

 

That looks really nice. The color looks great!!!

 

The head unit wasn't as bad as I thought actually. I'll let you borrow my tweezers and magnifier if you want to do it. I could also help you find the right LED's. There are 2 colors of green, and the mcd (brightness value) is really important for the display backlight and warning lights. I did everything twice except the warning lights, head unit backlight, and A/C controls (3x each).

 

u want white? trade for some paint spraying?

 

Cool I'll have to talk to you at one of the next meets about it.
