Just a noob here, Picking up my Holden VE 2008 Ute tomorrow and would like to know howand if it is posible to swap out the Green LCD Speedo n' such with a Red LCD ? Thanks for your support
About $150 for the DIC second hand from ebay, don't know how much the install would cost. Read this www.carmodder.com • Upgrading Instrument Clusters for the Holden VE Commodore
If you are handy with a soldering iron, you could just change the LEDs in the cluster to whatever colour that you would like. Here is an old Series I Omega Cluster, with Blue LEDs for the dial illumination, and white LEDs for the Centre LCD illumination. To do this, you will need to source 1210 LEDs (Which can be found on fleabay in the industrial section very cheaply). Here are instructions on how to do this. www.carmodder.com • Changing the Cluster Illumination for the Holden VE Commodore (P.S. The omega cluster was changed as I was using to test EEPROM programming locations, and the Green was very hard to read). I have also changed my current E2 HSV cluster to white illumination, my HSV triple gauges to white as well using the above same method, and so far no problems. Cheers Matti
Here's a pic of mine changed to Blue & White by phreddy (Greg) from ASR (sponsor of this forum) Are you sure you want to go red? Many people (myself included) have trouble seeing the red during the day. I might be biased... but get the blue!
Yep, I agree with davey g-force here ! Definitely go blue or white. Red is hard to read (Hence the reason why I changed the red on my HSV cluster). I also have to say the Blue / White combination on davey g-force's cluster is much better than the combo I used on the Omega cluster !!!! The blue LCD panel looks the bomb !!!!
