Done mine now, it looks awesome in blue and I'll change the needle colour to white at some point when I get the right led part no. Thanks, Mike for the step-by-step video and thanks to Roger who also gave me some advice. 👍
@@MendItModIt u welcome mike …did get a lot of mk6 owners asking how the cluster leds r done …saves me explaining now for those wishing to have a go at it ,more so all the rest of the switches etc …😂😂….so if any one is reading this and is thinking of having a bash at any of the led conversions in mike’s vids …it’s not that difficult just need a tad of patience …u won’t find better vids on this subject with a step by step guide …nice job mike 😎😎… feel its to complicated then send me a message on fb ( link to myself is in description ) …
Excellent work!! I wish I knew that winding trick when I put mine back together!! Been reading MPH FUEL and revs all wrong for ages 🤬🤬 next job on my list lol
I bet that’s a nightmare, but yeah fairly easy to set, easier than I thought it would be, hardest bit was explaining it while doing it and trying to film it 😂
One thing i really don't like in mine is the green everywhere. Also appreciate the subtle background to the dials you chose. I've some Mountune bits to fit so this is def something I'd like done to mine, it'd tie in really nicely. Already have my aftermarket stereo a;ready set to white so this'd look great in the flesh. Love the screenshot option for those brave enough to try it. As usual a thoroughly enjoyable video with clear easy and concise instructions. I even bought a soldering tower after your previous ones but seems a bit advanced to dive into for a first job!
I’d say this is one of the easiest I’ve done. A lot of people go for full colour images on the clocks but I think the subtle effect is definitely better.
3 videos later and actually found one that mentions every single screw and thing you have to take out. Half the videos either people have multiple screws missing or pre took out so looks to easy until it comes to it.
G 😊 Great Video mate, I’ve been thinking of doing this to my fiesta, I did it with a ka and that was a challenge, ps- the coin holder Clock thermometer is a nightmare to get hold of I even contacted the main Dealership they said will be in stock soon. Hopefully 🎉🎉 🎉
Clock glass like to rattle.. all since started polybushing.. so just wanted to refit it and the dials not seeing anyone doing dial cards but now I'm like I need some!
@@MendItModIt haha, yeah I got a TT vent that give me hassle at times or it's the clocks, I think it was the plastic glass but maybe it's the metal part you had to push back. The dial card is not cheap but it's unique and yours looks awesome. I think I just want a black and get rid of the kmh, and maybe a change of the lines. Looking forward to your next videos!
I was wondering if this is possible with the older model dashboard and interior? I would like to transfer everything to LED, but I first want to know if this is possible before I start. Cheers!
Does this have to be done with PCB led diodes? I’ve done a couple of the other interior buttons with the standard 2 stalk LED and they work fine do you reckon this will work on the cluster too? Nvm done it and it works fine
@@MendItModIt Thanks for the Reply, big fan of your channel since i got my Fiesta - thinking of giving this a go myself - does this affect the LCD screen mileage by any chance? as in could i mess up some of the readings?
What you could have done is take photos of the position of the needles while in TEST mode prior to disassembling the instrument cluster. You set RPM in test mode, snap a photo. You set some reasonable speed - you snap a photo. Or better yet - set the wanted variable in test mode and make a little note with a pencil on the mask. If going with photos, the photos should be taken from as perpendicular position to the instrument cluster as possible. That way you'll know what was the exact position of the needle prior to disassembly.
I have to resolder the contacts on mine but I just have one question about the fuel gauge. I noticed that every time I put fuel in and top it, the gauge goes a fair bit above the 1/1 mark, is that normal or should it point directly to 1/1?
@@jayotterautomotive I never dissasembled the thing, it was like that from the beginning, it could be that the previous owner did it and poorly since the dash is going out again.

If I want to change only the leds colour, I have to take off the needles or I could skip that part? By the way you have awsome videos! 2 Fiestas are waiting for me :D

spot on that mike looks really well that colour combo 😎 ..thanks for the facebook plug …kind regards Rog .👍
Is your username the same on Facebook as it is on TH-cam, as the video description is yet to be updated?

@@swiftyrs2354 It's there now, thanks. I was just a bit early on the viewing!
That looks awesome mate! I really like the colour theme you’ve gone with, it looks so much better than the standard green 👌🏻
Thanks mate, it really does, the green wasn’t even a nice green 🤮
@@MendItModIt ikr? I really don’t know who thought putting that green in the fiestas was a good colour choice 🤢
Great advice as always, have a similar job today - not a light mod but need to reflow the solder in the instrument cluster.

@@MendItModIt Agreed, I'm all for OEM+ look which i think the all-white does brilliantly, great choice

Fantastic,bet it feels like a new car at night
Yeah it does, it’s subtle but makes a big difference
Looking amazing!

Brilliantly done ✅ ive been thinking about it but never really known how to do it… i do now though 👌
It’s fairly easy if you fancy having a go, if not check out my link to Roger who offers this service 👌🏻
Great video I see on your display that ur engine light indicators in on, what is the cause of that I have same on my st 150?
Another great video!
At ignition this gauge sweep can be turned on somehow? Or it is just a check in the menu?
Looking very nice
Clock glass like to rattle.. all since started polybushing.. so just wanted to refit it and the dials not seeing anyone doing dial cards but now I'm like I need some!
Cheers bud! Ah gutted, mine doesn’t rattle (plenty else does though 🤦🏻♂️) but mine has a tiny crack in 😢

Hi there, good video. I will give this a try. Same with the buttons.
Only question, what kind of flux liquid are u using?
I was wondering if this is possible with the older model dashboard and interior? I would like to transfer everything to LED, but I first want to know if this is possible before I start. Cheers!
@@lamayembo3522 it is, you wanna speak to Roger Andrew at Swift LED conversions, search them on facebook

Nvm done it and it works fine
hi mate, great video- What sodlering KIT/ tools did you use here and how much did it cost? thanks
@@Ninic1371 oh mate it was literally like a £7 eBay soldering iron I’ve had laying around for years 😂 nothing special
@@MendItModIt Thanks for the Reply, big fan of your channel since i got my Fiesta - thinking of giving this a go myself - does this affect the LCD screen mileage by any chance? as in could i mess up some of the readings?
Thanks Mike good video, I just need to change the LCD on a PFL do you know if it has the same test function as the controls are different
I’m not sure sorry mate, but as far as I know the PFL doesn’t have a trip computer so I’m not sure how you’d activate the test mode if it has it

thatll be down to you not putting it back on correctly

Hey, can I use the same LEDs / diagram for my 2007 MK2 Ford Focus cluster?
Do you have to disconnect the battery before removing the clock.
I didn’t but there’s no harm in doing so if you wanted that piece of mind everything’s disconnected 👍🏻
YES!! YES!! FUCK YEAH!!! First and a new video!!
😂😂

Do you have sender for the lcd screen?
my lcd screen is dead
great job fella cant see rodgers fb link
Do you need to remove the dial card if you are just doing the LEDs looks like it's only held with the needels to PCB?
No you could just pop the needles off and leave the card in place if you wanted to
@@MendItModIt Thank you
If I want to change only the leds colour, I have to take off the needles or I could skip that part? By the way you have awsome videos! 2 Fiestas are waiting for me :D
I think you still have to take the needles off because the motors they sit in are soldered onto the PCB from memory
Where did you get the led components from ?
Links are in the description now bud 👍🏻
Would you take 6g for it ?
For the car? I’d bite your hand off 😂
hey bud can you do mine im happy to come to you im in cardiff if so how much you want for doing it? i dont trust myself 🤣
