We have been pretty busy last 4 moths due to a little surprise: see below
![]() ![]() Her name is Evie =) Apologies for slow updates. So, a few threads on here lead me to believe that the BLUE LED dash was an easily achievable hour or so project. I had spent more than a few hours at work flipping through threads to research. So, off i went to see my mates at JAYCAR. Bought an assortment of LED's in bulb holders. BLUE, WHITE & RED. (I had also bought some genuine ford bulbs in holders for ebay) Fiddled with different setups for a while. ![]() NOTE: need to buy an EF fairmont high series cluster to pinch the "WHITE" needles. The WHITE LED'S from JAYCAR behind the indicators are NOT bright enough. The little metal contacts/tabs/wings are bent/folded to apply spring like contact on underside of PCB (instument cluster) ![]() This photo is the GENUINE ford bulb & holder. NOTE: If buying new bulb holders - YOU MUST BEND THESE CONTACTS or else they won't work correctly. Fitted new starter motor $150 buck from EBAY =) |
