Completed Clock and Dash LED Mod
I changed out the amber clock LED to blue using the tech area on this site. I also removed the two dash incandescents and replaced with four blue LEDs.
Check it out:
I'll try to get better pictures and add them soon...It's tough taking them in the dark...

looks good - congrats on on not cross soldering the pins -
Same mod's crossed my mind occasionally - and to change ALL the lights including the dummy lights for oil, batt., belts etc too --- but with an orange box... to what... green? Just have to leave it I suppose.

can someone point me towards the faq on how to do this??? THanks
I want to do that in green. Is it possible to do that in green? What do I need for this mod?
Nice job. More pics please. And maybe a write up on how easy/hard it was to do...Thanks!
I like it....give us more info. please. Where did you get the parts? How much money? What tools are needed? Time needed? Etc.
As far as difficulty, it was relatively easy for the experienced solderer. I would not recommend tackling this if you were a first-timer, especially concerning the clock mod (the dash mod is easily reversible if you screw up, you would just need to invest in a desoldering iron). You need a low-wattage soldering iron and some really steady hands to do the clock mod though. And don't forget to use desoldering braid to avoid leaving piece of the old LED's (or worse...pulling some of the printed circuitry off the board). The most time-consuming part was aiming the dash LED's to get the most even light distribution.
Thanks for the props guys!

Sweet!
So do you have the address of the cell phone site you bouight the LEDs for the clock and maybe the part numbers for the particular LEDs you used here? Yours looks really bright compared to some of the others that I've seen.
