parrot Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I’m sure it has been discussed previously, not necessarily in a KE30 but the concept is the same no matter what. You will have to search the forum for the threads. May be easier searching in google but add rollaclub to the search terms for forum specific threads edit: and when you find it, add a link to it here so it’s easier to find next time Edited October 24, 2018 by parrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Banjo thanks for your help @Banjo , the 2nd link is nice idea!! never thought about it , just lay the led strip inside the meter cluster. thanks for your help @banjo and @parrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saif317 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) just want to share my upgraded meter cluster to led , thanks for the idea guys . bought the led strip from local store , here's the sample picture at first i planned just to lay the led down like the link you shared but i just stick the led strip all around the corner since it has a little bit of space which it fit perfectly. for the wiring , i just soldered it directly at the t10 bulb socket (red wire to positive side and black to the grounding side) and that's it . here is the before and after before, with t10 led after, with led strip ( the colour slightly off maybe because of my camera effect , actually its pretty nice in reality , you get the idea) hopefully this thread will be helpful to those who wanted to upgrade their meter cluster light . thanks for the idea @Banjo Edited October 27, 2018 by saif317 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted October 30, 2018 Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) That's brilliant ! Probably a little bit too bright. I got a roll of those LEDs. They are great. Use them for various lighting requirements. You can build a simple dimmer for LEDs, using a variable Pulse Width control. Plenty of circuits on the net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n48GemL7tsc Cheers Banjo Edited October 30, 2018 by Banjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 holy moly that looks bright. I reckon you might need to be Corey Hart to drive that at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big G Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I was thinking the exact same thing. I wonder how many members will get the reference. Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Hi Graeme, I'll put my hand up. I had to Google "Corey Hart" to see who he is, & what the reference referred to. Quote Corey Mitchell Hart (born May 31, 1962) is a Canadian singer, best known for his hit singles "Sunglasses at Night" Brilliant Dave !
