IrishCooper Mar 24th, 2005, 05:42 AM I'm thinking about doing this mod, but having my Tach have Green from 0-4 Yellow from 4-6 and leave it red for 6+. I like that idea. Hope it works out for you and if it does please post pictures. tradiuz Mar 24th, 2005, 12:13 PM www.ledtronics.com for LED's. They sell everything. whokilledkaji Mar 25th, 2005, 12:00 AM Wow... The blue looks soo good... If anybody manages to get this done, please tell us about it! I may want to do this myself... pocketrocketowner Mar 25th, 2005, 03:30 PM Wow... The blue looks soo good... If anybody manages to get this done, please tell us about it! I may want to do this myself... If you look further up this thread you will find a link to a site and a guy who did it and can help. (Note to self: it is always good to read through threads....) ;) whokilledkaji Mar 28th, 2005, 02:20 AM (Note to self: it is always good to read through threads....) ;) Sorry... Just missed it is all... Got a little too excited and skipped right over it... Oops. :D sarcuxksu Jul 3rd, 2005, 05:56 PM Hello to anyone still interested - I'm the bloke who was insane enough to do this with the gauges supplied with the car. It's been a year and a half and they still work fine, though a few came loose and I had to re-solder them. My how-to is posted on NAM (somewhere...) and on my club's site... http://www.minineo.org/viewtopic.php?t=214 If you have questions, e-mail me at president@minineo.org... though everything is laid out pretty clearly in the how-to. - J Ingrid May 20th, 2007, 09:56 PM Bump! Has anyone done this lately? Any pics? :) 55parklane May 21st, 2007, 05:13 PM Don't know bout you people over the pond but in the UK there is a company essential mini who do this, not as a kit purely a while you wait service, not sure of the price but they do a good service, i'm sure some members of this site have used them. They have some pretty dandy pics under the custom lighting on their website- essentialmini.co.uk rkw May 21st, 2007, 06:05 PM Here's the thread on NAM, with pics and descriptions: MINI COOPER :: North American Motoring - Blue gauge backdrops (http://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94118). The latest post shows a conversion for the Nav/Chrono style dual dials over the steering column. The results are amazing. I've done a number of electrical and electronics mods but this one is really beyond my soldering skills to attempt on my own. Blusox May 23rd, 2007, 01:17 PM Does swapping the speedo really effect your mileage and service interval readout?!?!?! Surely that data is in the ECU and is just displayed on the speedo? :confused: | ||
