Benjamyn999 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Is it possible to change the light in the Td5 clock. I have replaced all other gauge lights with blue tint LED and would like to do this on the clock, but the unit appears to be sealed. Is there a knack to opening it - and I do, what is the trick?

western Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 found this info in this thread Td5 clock illumination Quote The clock on a Td5 has 4 small led's on the printed circuit board within the clock. It is possible to strip the clock and replace with coloured, I did mine today. They are soldered onto the circuit board so you have to unsolder the originals and solder on the new. It's fiddly but not difficult, I only swapped 2 as that was enough to give off enough colour as the other clocks. Also the green lighting of the originals comes from a green layer on the back of the clock face, this I just carefully sanded off with a fine sandpaper.
