Just wanting to get some expression of interest before I start investigating LED Brake/Tail Light upgrade kits. Basically what I'm looking at is providing a plugin loom that will allow you to use LED Brake/Tail Light and still have all the functionality of Cruise etc. Just want to get some feeling on whether people would be interested. Matt

Mike1: Yeah the switches just need to be lifted out. And yes I need your switches to upgrade them. Matt

If you would like them backlit , I can provide the service Matt

Here is a couple of more pictures. One is for a Webasto/Holandia Sunroof switch I have just done for a customer and also a set of Wagon switches in white for another friend. Matt

And here is the install pictures of my UTE Style Kit. Matt

Here are 2 pictures explaining where the LED's etc should go on a Sedan. Matt

Just to let everyone know I have finally sourced a limited number of XR Blue led's again. Dont know when the next time I'll be able to get these so once these run out I may not have any left for quite some time. Matt

I would also recommend Binks. They fixed everything I had a problem with and I didnt even get the car from them and only had it serviced there once. They look after you well. Matt

Hey mate, I have some High Intensity XR Blue colour ones that look great in ute switches. I have them in mine. They are much brighter than standard led and give the switches a nice glow. Highly recommend these. Let me know Matt

I have 2 Four window sets left. Not sure how long until I am able to get more LED's. So these are going for $60 for install. PM if your interested. Matt

Most perspex/plastic places will make up anything you want for a reasonable price if you ask them. Maybe get a price on getting something like that. Matt

Here is my list. Diff Rebuild ICC replaced due to stickers lifting twice. Cup holder clip broken, new one installed. Power Windows slow, Greased. Rear Seat Back and Bottom replaced due to seam coming undone. New Cat Convertor due to heat shield rattle. New pads and machining of discs. Defective Reservoir cap. Throttle Body cleaned. All done between 60k-70k.

Darren, still waiting mate. PM please! Matt

I have had several things repaired under warranty that I would not have thought about if I didnt have the TSB's. They are very handy Matt

My Favorite would have to have been the Charade, standard they come with a arse whipping 66kw, with the head and cam and exhaust I had in it I'dd say it would have been on the up side of 80kw from a 880kg car. Even with a 3 speed auto behind it , the initial take off was instant and would worry alot of 8's for the first 100m or so. But throwing it around corners was the best, very little understeer. An absolute great daily driver getting about 8-10litres per 100km and got 220,000km out of it before the cylinder walls started corroding and decided to upgrade to my current XR. Matt

Actually have you had the door trim off at all. I had a guy come over to get leds installed on his switches and I had all sorts of trouble getting his switch out because he upgraded to leather and when they put the door trim back together they trapped one of the wire in the trim. You might have the same problem, maybe it has rubbed the insulation off a little and is partially shorting to ground. Matt

My Car list. 1971 Escort - Burnt Orange. 1.3litre 1976 Mazda 929 - Pearl Blue, 2.0litre Balanced & Blueprinted, 5 speed, Side draught Dellorto Carby. Lowered on Hot Wire Mags. 1991 Daihatsu Applause - Metallic Green, 1.6litre ,Lowered, only headwork and extractors. 1990 Daihatsu Charade Sedan - Blue, 1.3lite, Lowered, Full Exhaust My current ride is a 2004 XR6, and a 1998 VT Acclaim that my wife tries to destroy. But Im considering an upgrade of both cars to a Turbo Terri as I dont drive the XR much anymore. Matt

Here is my list of TSB's I have been able to source from some place. Matt tsblist.txt

ahhh, red shirt!. theres the problem! Matt

Pull it apart and check it would be my suggestion. Matt

I feel a little left out, I bought my dvd player about 7-8 years ago when there was like maybe 10-20 dvd's available in australia and my pioneer 5.1 amp. and a couple of years later I purchased my Grundig 82cm Widescreen (which at the time was one of maybe 3 or so widescreen crt's you could buy). I should upgrade but waiting for better technology before I blow more money, like OLED or SED TV's. Matt

In the four way switch there is an additional timing circuit that is used for auto down. other than that it is a basic rocker assembly. I have seen quite alot of swicthes that I have upgraded that and some arcing, enough to deform the contact pads. if this has happened to your switch it wouldnt take much for it to accidently track to the illuminaion circuit. Matt

Dash lights are off a different circuit so that would explain it. Check the other switch if that is ok you could open up the switch and check for shorts etc. I do have a tester for the switches here but you wouyld need to send the switch to melbourne. Matt

What type of controller do u have dags? If if the older style you might want to put new switches in the remote as the ones that are in it are sh*te!. I get about 20m out of my two and the aeriels are just wrapped around the power cable(not good but its neat). I started losing distance out of the remotes , so I opened them up to find one of the switches was nearly falling apart. Replaced both and not it works better than it ever did. Matt

Are the switches modified? if excess current is drawn from the icc it shuts off the illumination output from what I understand to protect it self. Does it do it on the multi way switch as well as the individual one? Matt
