RhysH Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Hi all, Just wondering if it's possible to change the colour of my dashboard speedo/gauge lights? (Shown in picture) ive managed to work out how to get the cluster part out, however I need to know if this is a case of a bulb change or if it's a "skin"...not sure of the proper name for it. if it is a bulb does anyone know the size of it? And if it's possible to replace with LED Bulbs? thanks in advance any help I would be really great full as I cannot find for the life of me any info on this.

Luke4efc Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 If you're just after changing the colour, you can just get different coloured bulbs. This is provided the dash is a white light already. It should be dead easy to do if you know how to get the cluster out. Last time I did it all I had to do was take the cluster out, and the bulbs were pushed into a socket that was a quarter turn to remove it from the pcb, it sort of clicks into place. You can replace with LEDs provided you install them correctly, remember they are a set polarity. I've never liked fitting LED's in cars, I've had everything from blown fuses to engine management lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 There's a guide on here by dangersford fitting a Lockwood dial kit...... http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/tutorials/article/41-fitting-a-lockwood-dial-kit-fiesta-mk-6/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysH Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks both! Ill check if it is just a light as I think that'll be the best option, is there a way to tell which way around the LED is supposed to go as to not blow fuses? Also with the Lockwood skin looks pretty good! However I'm not a fan of the white! cheers guys appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 It's not standard dome type led's that's in the dash, it's ones similar to these...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201382160264 They have a little groove on one side to determine between live and negative sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysH Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Ahhh okay thanks for the info! I'll update with photos if I manage to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 It's not easy to get the polarity right first time, it's hard to tell on a lot of bulbs. It's very unlikely that you will blow a fuse by putting it in the wrong way, it just won't illuminate. That has been my experience.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 You will also have to have decent soldering skills as the smd's are tiny (about 3-4mm x 2-3mm) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiritBreaker Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hey guys, on the first posted image, there is the triple 0's in the bottom middle part of the dashboard. What is it for? I have pretty much the same dashboard and never figured out what is it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
