Hi all, am thinking to change the LED's in my dashboard as they are dim orange colour to white LED's saw some info on it, what do you all reckon? Also would like to change the white dials to black but cant seem to find a company that does them? If anyone who knows of even done the LED/dials conversion would be great help or even pictures to see!!

👍😄

Cheers

Hi, thanks for your reply back, was an auto electrician for BMW & Porsche by trade, its an easy job to do if you know how etc, done these before on other cars but nit the Aygo (yet), is there a kit where you can change the white dials on the clocks to black dials?

Cheers

Red light’s wavelength and energy content is much lower than white and it’s usage is desirable as it helps with night-sight.  Besides being a safety feature I would expect that there’s a regulation stipulating instrument illumination colour and switching to white may be in contravention of the regulations so I suggest you check.

I've driven vehicles with white (Vauxhall), blue( VW), red (Audi) and green (Skoda) instrument lighting - so it's extremely unlikely that changing to white instrument lighting will be against any regulations.

Exactly so, the Alpine double DIN in my Mk1 Citroen C1 has a wide range of backlight colours available so I chose orange to match the backlighting on the Mk1.

P.S. Eagerly awaiting my 2020 Aygo, which according to the Toyota tracker is currently at Grimsby docks.
