Awesome man.. Excellent mod.
I think you can add multi colored LEDS which we usually see in electronics based on input it changes the color(yellow/blue/white/...)
you can control it externally (changing signal).
I felt it's risky job man.. but worth every penny.Comment

I guess this a 220 FI black tachometer one. But not sure.Originally posted by rahuldevnath View PostAha.. quiet interesting.
In the Speedos which i opened, both Tachi and LCD used same colour, which was more of orange than amber. Which bike's speedo is this, and what version?
Are you sure that drop is not more than 2V? Nevertheless I was testing them with just 300Ohms.. and the LEDs din't blow off.
And yes, the LEDs under Tacho have four terminal. I guessed that originally it was intended to be used for similar packaging LEDs as of the LCD part but X 2.
I have given them 4V, and the do work without any problem
Iam pretty sure that the drop is only 1.97~1.98V. Verify it on the other speedo of yours.
In my case i dint use a resistor thats why they conk off.
Got a strip of white led's. Each led cost me 4rs. Will work on sunday.

Ok thanks for clarifying that.RED DEVILComment

This procedure doesnt work on UG3 bikes as it is running on AC setupComment

(1) Even on UG3 bikes, the LCD runs off DC. I think it's only in Apache that LCD is on AC.Originally posted by pradyumna View Post
(2) In anycase if in stock the speedo console backlit runs of AC, then it can very well work the new LEDs.
(3) And in dire consequences, a half-wave rectifier is what all needed.

Yeah! I used a bridge rectifier and it worked.
And I noticed one more thing, If we cover the present LEDs with black insulation tape and stick the new strip on them, the distance between the LCD and LED decrease and hence results in uneven distribution of light. Check out the image.
Its better to take out those old LEDs and stick this strip on flat board.Comment

Hey it's looking way cooler. And I can see the the problem of light distribution. There two possible solutions to it.Originally posted by pradyumna View Post
(1) Try pasting the strips on the side walls of LCD unit.
(2) Try putting a translucent piece of plastic over the LEDS and see if it helps. However in that case the LEDs have to be bright enough.Been There, Done That; Better!Comment
