Looking GOOD :cool: :cool: Keep it up [ok

I love to do it but it's so laborious replacing every single bulb. But once it's done it'll look amazing!

On an E46....

I do like the blue dash with the red pointers, looks nice and refreshing after the usual sea of amber. :cool:

I was working out how best to do mine on Monday and how much work would be involved, typical that whenever I think of doing something individual someone always beats me to it... :rolleyes: I may have to conjure up something special now...hmmmmm [hmm

that looks decent.

How many individual bulbs are we talking about. If I remember correctly, the e46 Peppernick posted up, was in the region of 120 or so. VERY time consuming, but very satisfying.

Not only the no. of bulbs but to open up the components ie: climate control unit and sometimes unsoldering required.

The owner of that E46 took over 2 months to do what he did. Technically it's not difficult but you need a lot of patience and an LED supplier nearby.

the ones that i have done required the switches dismantling and new LEDs soldering in and putting everything back together.

watch out for the rest of the them being done. :D

Hell of a project to start Lee, you have my admiration for the patience required to do them all! I've had a cunning idea thinking about this whilst I've been working, courtesy of some Compaq computer kit of all things, just need to work out a gameplan..

Have to say, I think that looks wicked [bow . I miss that colour from my previous VAG motors. I would love to have a go, cus thats one of the best mods I have seen. I just would not have the patience to change every led :eek: .
