I wonder how you do this as well.. you gotta rip out your entire dashboard/dials?

Someone who recently joined had this done and it didn't look easy to read in blue to me

 

[MovingShadow]

I'd like to use white. Would look real nice I think!

I had blue in my first smart and it was a ***** to read and also it had hot spots of light

 

[Mike_Robo]

yeah i was looking at doing this, making the display blue which is more in keeping with the rest of the gordini colour scheme

The Twingo Mk 2 doesn't use these type of twist in LEDs.

It used Micro LEDs Soldered onto the PCB I'm afraid = pull dash out and replace LEDs and Re-solder

 

[Mike_Robo]

Nah think I'll give that a miss :/

Is there a way of changing the colour behind the rev speedo? I don't know what colour but orange is my fav. I was thinking a renaultsport yellow maybe. Anyone done this/knows how?

Id like blue, too much effort to change tho.

And who needs to read it! lol :lol: It would just look nice. Ha ha

As Matt mentioned above. If your good with a soldering iron and are used to soldering PCB's, to unmount and solder in new SMLED in a new colour, should be fairly simple.

haha. I'm ok with a soldering iron, as we often need to repair cable connections at work...

However, mounting components on a Printed Circuit Board needs a steady hand, a decent iron for the job and some skill. Without which, you could probably make the neat joints look like one big blob joining all the tracks and write off the board (which means a new assembly).

IMO, a good few hours practice with some parts from Maplins or displays from a scrapyard should be a minimum before attempting it
