Hi, I'm new to the forum so tell me off if this is the wrong place.

Basically I'm embarking on a dangerous, extremely difficult and some would say pointless project to change all the orange interior LEDs to blue ones so that it looks slightly cooler. However I don't wanna fk the car so I thought about getting a scrap speedo unit and practising the de-soldering of the LEDs on that. if all goes well, can I fit it where the current one is without wiping any mileage computers etc? is the mileage information stored in another computer somewhere else in the car?

Cheers
 
Ahh excellent input.
I understand how things could get extremely messed up but if we take that out of the equation it is still do-able. I have the necessary equipment.

As for the centre console, are the orange bits filters on the bulbs or on the dials themselves. I have a horrible feeling that it is the dials due to one of them being blue and red!

And Andy, how will the dash dimming function be affected? I know blue LEDs of the same size will be slightly dimmer anyway.

Finally aircooled, who does this kind of thing and how much do they charge? Any links?

Cheers guys!
