Do all the ignition lights, fog, lights, and indicator etc light up, i have seen the cheap ones and they dont light very clearly

A couple of years ago I lived in Germany, and came across a company which made white dials for the omega but the dials only had km's (kilometres) not miles, he told me he could make me a set but he would need to make a template so I took out my origianl  dials he scanned then into the computer and made a set of white dials on his machine.

Got them from the same place as Jim as per the link above, but they forgot to cut out the extra hole for the fog light, so I had to do that myself, I also asked for chrome dials and they sent white, they also took almost 3 months to get them from the date of ordering. :y

How did you get to do the back bit silver mate i see you got the metal ring's. I've just got a set off the bay and the guy from german polished one ring on the wrong side he did send me a replacement... and did the same thing again so i've polished the other side myself that's life.

Foliatec spray from helfrauds, theres 2 tins you get, one a clear pre-coat, then you spray the finishing coat. the reason i done that was because I got a glue run when fitting the chrome rings >:(, was the only way to disguise/hide it :y......have fun ;)

With some difficulty; the face is glued to the housing, you have to carefully prise the face of the housing off, ideally with a very small flathead screwdriver a little bit at a time, it will come off :y

I have a set of those LED's but a bit of a pain getting them all to work (well in daylight anyway), thanks to EP.....Decided the dials solve that problem and no need for LEDS. :y
