Hi All.
Hmmmm - Sorry wheelz, I don't think there's any such thing as a purple LED!
(not that I'm aware of anyway.)
Up until not long ago there was no such thing as white or blue LEDs either - only in the last few years.
White LEDs are possible, but OUCH! They're EXPENSIVE! (the white SMD devices in small quantities, anyway.)
Oh - one other thing...
Someone (can't remember who - sorry!!) gave me a link to eBay where some bloke overseas was selling quantities of 50 and up of blue surface mount LEDs for a fairly good price - anyone who might be tempted BE CAREFUL! I checked it out, and they're a different package type to the ones in use and likely won't fit as well. Also not sure about the dispersion angle either - often the smaller package devices have a narrower beam width, which could cause "dark and light" patches through the dials.
I could look into larger quantities of white LEDs if there's enough interest, but I already have over $600 invested in this, and I'm running out of money! :my:
Anyway, updates as they happen folks....
Cheerz!

Thanks Al, I wasn't real sure. (I guess if they can make PINK LEDs, well....)
I'll bet the price of 'em would make you feel a bit ill though!
Hey Mad_monaro - that would be a VY, correct?
If so, definitely possible - in fact encouraged!!
PM me for details if you like.

G'Day All.
I'm still head down-bum up! (a whole lot of sh#t has hit the fan at work in the last few days, that hasn't helped)
VZSV6 - PM sent.
Sorry about the delays folks, but I am trying to cover all bases here. I've discovered that V8s need an extra LED in the cluster, as the tacho is slightly different. I'm doing the ignition switch ring LED a bit differently, as there was a problem which came to light. (no pun intended!! ) Also that certain buttons - whilst they're exactly the same apart from the cap on top (like the Trac control, and Pwr/Econ mode), the wiring polarity to the contacts is reversed!! :bang: I'm covering all these curly issues in the document though, and I'm also going to write a quick FAQ to answer people's initial questions.
Thanks all - not much longer now!!
