Interior SMD change
After wanting to change these for a long while I finally got the motivation after seeing another forum member had already beat me to it with the gearknob. I've began changing over my interior smds. First up I changed the sport and eco Pro to Red/blue to match my 6wb.
I intend on changing the traction and P buttons to white but I've misplaced my white smds. Here's the first parts I'll update as I get on incase any other members want to see the final results. Another couple bits done while im bored. The footwell lights are too bright so I'm going to give them a quick tint in the morning with some left over medium smoke tint I have lying around. All of this has changed only the orange classic setting and maintained the white sport mode which I mostly use. Last edited by WillLowe; 01-08-2021 at 03:40 PM.. |

Yeah. Luckily I'm still working but after finishing work there's nothing at all to do but sit in my digs. So figured I'd keep myself busy with car stuff.

Thanks. I've mainly used 0805s though some places they were bit to small so I've been using 3528s or 1206s.

Those pics remind me of the RGB stuff you see on Linus Tech Tips
Good stuff, you obviously have a talent for this kind of work. I'm the sort of person who leaves most DIY well alone as I'm a measure twice, cut once and still gets it wrong sort of person.

I would like to try this on the footwell. question you put LED 3528, will these be as bright as your picture? I would like to try purple and white brighter than stock.

Good work.
You can do the gear knob LEDs as well. I ( or rather my son) did mine using a flea bay kit - green for drive , red for park, amber for neutral,white for reverse and of course blue for sport mode. I did have to put some tint on the green however as it was quite bright.
