Message centre? Not me... given up dismantling IPKs for now! I can live with the orange/red, it as it's off most of the time (and I've installed a switch to disable Trafficmaster!)

Not sure if there are now suitable bicolour LEDs in red/blue, but in any case it's extremely delicate soldering for those tiny contacts... I wouldn't really trust myself to do it properly without messing up the IPK!

Only thing that isn't done in my car is the cigar lighter illumination because I just can't get to it! I even practiced on a spare centre console assembly outside the car and I still couldn't get in there to change the bulb, or get the lighter unit out without brute force, breaking it...

I'm working on it. Can't leave it now you've done the other bits for me. Just got a few minor issues to sort first.

Bought this, but it needs . . . .resizing.

I went to 4 auto electrician companies in Norwich about blue lighting and they just scratched their heads and said it was something they would not do. Looks like I will be staying orange

There really isn't that much to it Jay,
Which part of Norwich do you live/work??

I work out of the city so days are a bit tricky for me, and I'm super busy at the moment, but I'm sure our paths could cross at some point, so that you can have a look, and see if its for you...

I'm sure we could 'work something out' and I could do it for you quite reasonably, but there is a fair amount of work, or rather time envolved..
But If you are flexible in that regard ....

We can discuss the individual risks or things you need to be aware of then if you want it done..??

I'd have to look up some new LED's as I've exhausted my supply, but no great shakes there..

anyway pm me if youre interested


Nick
