Have I read on here about changing the filter on the LCD displays so that the figures show red against a black background?

That would be cool! :smiley:

Not fitted them yet only got them today for me b'day.. Will let you know Si  :smiley:


'Scuse my electro-ignorance...

Do you still need resistors if the LEDs are already 12v ??  I'm thinking of putting in green LEDs to be original but BRIGHTER!

Chris_MC... If you can be bothered, could you post up the instructions?

You need the resistors because the small LED's you need that fit into the switches are the wrong voltage  :smiley:

just done all kine, red switches blue and UV clocks, lit up to perfection :)

although i hit a problem

as im running late spec annie clocks 1997 i think they are, they dont have filters in the LCD displays on the clocks and are a sealed unit theirfore cannot be changed so easy if at all. i had my clocks in bits but still could not get to the leds which are in fact SMD type, the displays on my old clocks were torq bolted in and easy to remove, they have a green filter inside, shame my new clocks dont but they do look awesome even with the green displays.

will post pics up later of all what i did
