C1/107/Aygo Dash Backlight Colour Change. Speedo LED replacement on CityBug

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

I’ve redone done this job since this video was made and made a better video of the process using the correct type of LEDs. Please check out the new video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZykoGeKl916i6ssi=CFnRzDY0HqlperpI

[@albertsmith1048]

Decided not to bother changing the bulbs after watching this. I admire your resilience in this labour of love. Bloody well done.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate. Got a rev counter to do at some point now lol

[@infidelcastro5129]

The further I’m getting into this tutorial, the less inclined I am to invest the next week of my life into changing the colour of my speedo 😝 Your devotion and attention to detail is admirable.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Hahaha cheers. I might make another video in real time when the right LED’s come.

[@simonjj7397]

The upgrades on this channel are superb, great fun to watch even if you don't modify your car. The Rolls Royce upgrade on that City Bug stands out as a supreme example of your ingenuity.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

Really like the way you just make it up as you go along, makes for not only for an educational video but very entertaining too. I subscribed in the first place because I have an Aygo but now find myself watching anything you do, great stuff.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate, that’s good to hear.

[@tz6414]

What a daft design, my kids indicator light has gone out on one side, I did think it be a new twist led, but no seeing from your video, they are soldered on. In that case they will have to live with it. Thanks for saving me time. Update, in a spell of outlandish bravery, I decided to follow your disassembly and solder a new green led from the front without desoldering the lcd. Actually managed it, now have a working rhs indicator light. My son will have no idea what goes on so he can have a working car.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You’re welcome, glad it helped.

[@techtinkerin]

Credit where it's due, you're pretty good at soldering as that looked like a ball ache! Shame there's not an easier way of getting that screen out like cut plastic etc. Cool attempt tho! 👍😎

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate. I got it sorted in the end with the right SMLEDs, it’s in this vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpjEhKhtm7WKaNU

[@mariobusuttil7467]

Thanks Mate with your help I managed to solve the flashing airbag light..........found the led and desoldered.......

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

You’re welcome lol

[@japreet_kah]

Not worth the hassle for what the outcome was. I loved the central bit though. Nice and easy and bright. I'm changing mine to green. Can't wait

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Yea, wasn’t the best outcome for the clock but I sort it in this other video 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpjEhKhtm7WKaNU

[@TheAfterAl]

Tried it myself but now the LCD doesn't seem to work anymore. Any thoughts? Has the heat on the pins destroy it? Edit: never mind! Forgot the 2 top connections behind the Speedo. Im such an idiot lmao.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

lol. I was going to suggest that maybe the pins were bent or not soldered in, sometimes they can bend away from the holes when putting it back in.

[@xlns75]

Good job, fun to watch. But fyi the most heat sensitive spot on our bodies is between our noses and upper lip. Just bring the soldering iron close to the spot there and you'll know for sure

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers. I’ll make sure to give that a try.

Did the same also. But I actually broke one and had to find a new speedo and get it programmed with the correct milage 🙈 Display had desd lines in it because desoldering it was a hastle. I bought the same type of LEDs, tho. White in the dash (incl. the rev. meter) and a red for the needle.

Ur vid helped so much,. Unfortunately for some reason i dont understand my milage the numbers are all ffdup

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Glad it helped. It sounds like you’ve not got the display not soldered in line properly. I’d check that as you could be a terminal out of line or maybe a bad joint or a bit of solder has linked 2 together 🤔

[@markhayes2981]

Hi any help please my right indicator the green arrow on the dash is dim is just a change the bulb thing thanks

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Yea the LED probably needs replacing. It’s the same as doing this job but you need to suss out when led is the one that’s faulty and change that one. I made a bette video on this process recently

I’ve done my fair share of soldering, but these aren’t too bad as they’re quite big. I’d say not total beginner level but not hard either.
