I need a few different ones for my dash. I'm thinking do it different and add in some more so its brighter. We'll see.

Sorry I meant pics when you get them and they're fitted.

Yep, good idea, I'll do some before and after pics :wink:

Well ive not planned to do them yet. was advising Rich.  it'll be something i'll do when the cars on the road..  Yeah I have added more than starard beforein my old previous mk1, had some extra drilled in the top of the cluster shining red on to the front of the dials so i didnt have to mess about with the green filters.  all depends on what look you're after.

Boring little update but was pi55ing it down!  again.... :sad:

The Vauxhall Frontera fog arrived, opened up my damaged fog to find a sealed unit inside.. I knew I had to split the glass off somehow and was going to ask how!





opened up the frontera fog and found the same shizzle as mine inside!  The reason I was suprised was because of the way they are both put together, looked like the glass was clamped down from the front and the back of the frontera one looked like it was complete with nothing else inside.



Need to clean up my fogs now and put them back together, may have to get another frontera fog as one looks loads fresher than the other now!

Good find that, one to remember :wink:

Changed my LCD for the MAF and installed the LED's.........both failed :angry:

Not sure why the LCD doesn't work, can only assume that it is slightly different, random segments are working. 
The LED's aren't making contact with the membrane, seem to be a little smaller.

Hmmm, shame about the LCD but dont understand why the LEDs dont make contact!??... how much does it miss by... i'll have to get some now from a different supplier and see if i have the same problem as when i bought some for my old white tin top they were just right?
