Dashboard light change

[john-e89]

I watched one of Anubus Zeds vids on installing a new all digital dash on the E89, at the moment I’m not massively fussed on them, I quite like the physical needles moving etc, however the orange light of the original dash is pretty boring and def not one of my fav colours, so can you get replacement different coloured lights, and if so where from please..?

Save me trawling around if there’s a quick solution someone knows of….

Ta.

You can see the conversion on page 3 of this thread, although it was Tintoverano I believe who did the write up:

What guy ?

Are the LEDS PLCC2 or PLCC4 type LEDs. I have seen references to both, seems one has multiple Pins/legs PLCC4 and PLCC2 is 2 legs.

Silverstar, Can you indicate which did you use, as many of the videos are e90 based.

Looking back at the ebay listing it's the PLCC2, here is a link from the spanish vendor I bought it from but if you scroll down to the botton of the page they have the description and specs in English:

Yes, I remember him. He sent me a dozen PMs/SMS. I didn’t see value.

I quite liked some of his designs but then was lead away by my Italian boyfriend into buying an ID4Motion cluster… :tumbleweed: :headbang:
