White Led speedo conversion and m3 needles by M4rius

Drrncour · 05-28-2014, 03:41 PM

Decided to get the speedo dial lights changed to white to replicate the m3 speedo. Took m4rius up on his service, and the final results are below. Makes a nice difference to the otherwise all orange interior, I'm happy with the results.

Great service from m4rius who completed the work. Took about 40 minutes to complete in total, and is a cheap mod to do. I also added the m3 rep needles to finish the look. (You don't need this and can modify the originals with vinyl: paint)

Had mine done last month I even sent mine through post very quick and great service, a very nice mod at a great price

jammy78 · 05-28-2014, 04:41 PM

How much does it cost?

Lawton438 · 05-28-2014, 05:35 PM

+1 on cost? Looks good!

Marshall878 · 05-29-2014, 02:50 AM

How much how much?!

M4rius · 05-29-2014, 02:59 AM

Thanks for a feedback. The price is £20.

BoondogUK · 05-29-2014, 03:13 AM

It looks great... What is involve to change this from orange to white? Do you spray/wrap the back of the gauges? or is that being to simplistic?

M4rius · 05-29-2014, 03:43 AM

It's involves soldering , you need to remove orange smd's and solder in white.

kayfaz · 05-29-2014, 04:01 AM

Interesting, how long will it take if i came to you M4rius and where abouts are you?

M4rius · 05-29-2014, 04:18 AM

Ahhh... that makes sense. Shame your not closer!

MaccyD · 05-29-2014, 05:41 AM

Sounds straight forward. Next question is how hard is it to pull the dial assembly off? And where do you source the smd's from?

Takes 5 minutes to unscrew and post.but means you won't have the car for a few days though.

Lawton438 · 05-29-2014, 06:30 AM

Is that just for the white smd change?

How much including the red m3 needles? Or would I have to source then myself?

How do you make the needles red if you don't mind me asking?

Interested in this, car is currently away at present having some repairs but when I get it back I shall be in touch

M4rius · 05-29-2014, 07:43 AM

Have a look at the pictures and you will see how they done.

rhysh1990 · 05-29-2014, 10:00 AM

Worth every penny of £20 thats a bargain! Will have to see if i can do without for a few days

SpaceGreyOnBlack · 05-29-2014, 01:10 PM

If only you were up north mate!

cage911 · 05-29-2014, 01:21 PM

Hi M4rius,

I already have a white led converted cluster, but I wanted to know if you could convert my white needles to red?

Could you PM me a price?
