Hello all,

Someone has done these before im sure. But anyways, I have for sale either blue or white LED alarm caps in 3 forms.

Basicly there is:

•        A DIY kit which, you will receive the cap, with led soldered ready with approx 20cm of cable so you can just connect on to the existing lead. just 2 wires!
•        A pre-made plug and play kit. this wil get you a lead ready made so its just off with the door card un-plug the old an in with new job done. back on with door card.*
•        A send away service, you remove your existing one, send it to me, and I will make up the new one and return it to you by 1st class recorded. Turn around will be approx 1-2 days Maximum.

 Prices:

DIY kit: £6 delivered

Premade kit: £10, with a £2.50 refund when I receive your old one. (This is to keep the pre-made ones looking as OEM as possible)

Sendaway service: £7 you must send it either recorded delivery or special or other tracked delivery. to save mix ups basicly.

Sorry but I cant offer any discounts for multiple buys, just to save you time.

The LEDs are all in excess of 10000mcd for those intrested.

I will do my best to keep up with any big bursts of interest but please bare in mind I am doing this single handedly and my life does not revolve around my computer, but im sure you dont need telling that  :D

Payment would be prefered by paypal otherwise cash or cheque by snail mail would be fine, please allow clearing times on cheques though.

Please note: Laptop in picture is not included in any sale!

Thanks in advance

Yes it is possible, you will need to run a 2 core cable from the existing one through the dash and into the opposite door to connect onto.

Which is why I've ordered 2 

I recently got a set of two Green ones for a bit of a change from MarkMark4, they are great. He sent them quickly and they are well put together.

I've now fitted them both and I'm really pleased (they flash simultaneously) . I picked up 10m of thin 0.2 black and red wire from Maplin for £1.79 a bag, and obviously only used about 3m of each.

Cheers dude !

 Hello

Are you still offering these?

If so, could I have 2 blue DIY kits please?

I echo bigtallbloke's sentiments exactly - got a green one and it's the business !!!! A splendid mod for next to no cash whatsoever

 Any chance you could look into supplying the leds for the dasd switches,i'm thinking of turning some from red to blue(the whole dash,bora vents etc)?

 agreed. i ordered 2 blue and they literally light the whole street up, lol

they both flash simultaneously. a bit of extra peace of mind also when you see them flashing, you know the car is locked!

 can this be done without removing the doorpanel?

 No pal you need to remove the door cards, it takes about an hour thats all.

there is a way to do it with out removing the door card, if your handy with a soldering iron and a flatblade screwdriver.

In which case you can buy a diy kit at £6!!

I got told this once, dunno where the soldering iron comes in, I'll probably melt something if I had one of them I'll just do it the usual and take the door card off.

steal my idea why don't you Keep your Corrado, otherwise a 1.8T will end up with the same plans done to it as I have for mine   (except the alloys )

Hi sorry missed that earlier, my bad!

I can supply some of them yes, the others are available on the internet but there are a few versions of them so I wouldn't like to say which ones they are without prising open a switch.

The ones in the bora vents I know I have 'co si keep meaning to change to shut position to blue but cant be arsed!

Its alot easier to change them in a fraud (ford) they about 90% of them 3mm leds, or at least in my transit!! lol.

If you get a chance to hoick a switch out and whip off the cover you will see in them 2 or 3 maybe little surface mount components about 2mm x 3mm and 1mm high, white and clear in appearance.  If you can get some more accurate measurements of these i should be able to find you some for your project!

hth

Mark

 I have spare switches ready Blondie,pm your address and i'll send a few out for you top experiment on if you like

 That was to you Mark about the switches

If theres enough interest I can most probably do a group discount on these now, I will need a 10 unit order first.

They wont have to be same colour - I now have Blue, white and green with potential for pink, orange a brighter red, or if your into it UV

Discounts will be posted up once I have some interest in list form.

Any Takers??

Mark

how easy are they to replace the existing ones? im no electrician so dont have much idea lol but i'd be interested in 2 blue ones (is it a tenner each or for 2 btw?)

I made up a how to guide a while back, you can find it here.

The plug and play ones will be £10 each unless you can wait to see if anyone else wants to take advantage of a group discount affair. I presume you are planning to put one in the passenger side too- if so you will need a length of 2core cable as well to route through to the drivers side door. Its not as bad as it sounds!!

Hope this helps

 Hi Mark,

I could be interested in two of the brighter red LED versions (pre-made kits ideally). Don't suppose you have any pics of these vs. the standard LED?

Cheers,

Dave

Chrisdut:

hi, are these still avaliable?

Yes but only as a diy kit unless you send me your exiting lead and cap to be converted.

pm me if you are still interested.

Mark

vw in their ultimate wisdom used a whole array of different LED's in the switches, some are surface mount LED's, others are the traditional 3mm ones on legs... yes, i speak from experience!

 will have a blue led pre made one if u gt 1

I havn't got any pre made ones unfortunately due to the main dealer not being able to get parts BUT...

If you want you can send me your existing one and I will convert it then send it back.  Or a DIY kit is available just 2 wires to connect!!

PM me if you want one to sort payment etc etc

Mark
