Re: MOD: Switch colour LED Mod - cully - 07-12-2011 colours RE: MOD: Switch colour LED Mod - Cristina - 13-07-2014 My passenger window wasn't working, after some checks my mechanic decided I have to change the driver's side switch. Found one in scrap, replaced it and now found myself with a toy. Started opening it as I have seen on other forums some guys changed the switch bulbs to LED's but not on Pugs. God bless you for this post, lovely pictured and explained. All I need now is a soldering iron, are gas ones good ? RE: MOD: Switch colour LED Mod - nominous - 15-07-2014 For this job even a cheap maplin soldering iron will do. But gas ones can be a royal PITA. Best avoided unless you feel you'll ever need to solder without electric near by. Bearing in mind a soldering iron will happily work off a dirty cheap inverter, so um, never BTW, epic write ups !! RE: MOD: Switch colour LED Mod - Eeyore - 15-07-2014 Avoid gas soldering irons. I got one thinking it would be great but its a pain in the ass and the heat isnt concentrated enough and it will set fire to things if you put it down. Get a decent electric one for £25. RE: MOD: Switch colour LED Mod - cully - 15-07-2014 im not allowed to use gas iorns in work they are an explosion risk for which they are banned RE: MOD: Switch colour LED Mod - puglove - 15-07-2014 Very nice paul , very useful guide Chav........................................... |
