vn blue led conversion

[vn1989]

im wanting to make my speedo light up blue i dont like the green and i want some thing new.. would i have to buy a new face plate or would i just be able to put blue leds in and that would work.. i have been told there is a green film on the back of the dials that i would have to remove but im not sure hoping some 1 that has done this or knows any thing about it can help

cheers, jack

I swapped from normal bulbs to blue LEDs and I think they do a decent job of showing blue.. Would help removing the green film.. but isnt needed..

This is the blue LED compared to white LEDs (i believe)

ohk thanks.. looks like i just gotta get some blue leds off ebay might get blue parkers while im at it

[GothicKidd]

I'd suggest.. going for these type of LED's


and not these:

They seemed to be more of a aimed light.. instead of spreading out..

And not using overseas places for buying.. Bought alot of LED's from hong kong for cheap price.. claims long life and what not, work good for a little while.. then start flickering and fail.
I bought some LED's from australia.. and been perfect..

thats the gayest thing iv ever heard. what about green parkers? or does it go for any colour other that normal

[HSV5L]

I think greens ok but blue and red is a no. You can have blue in the dash cluster tho. I had blue parkers in my old vn untill i heard they were illegal... Cheers Travis

And white parkers are ok too.

[vn1989]

[HSV5L]

any forward facing blue or red lights are big no and you will get screwed for them.. I have green led bulbs in the dash and there not that bright..

[vn1989]

i was just thinking what if i put white leds in the dash it would kinda be green cause of the green film but it would show through as white like the blue does
