Thread: RED/BLUE?

  1. #1

    Default RED/BLUE?

    Has anyone ever replaced the led inside their 8500 from red to blue or vice versa?

    Is this even possible? Is it the actual led that is blue or just the cover? Please reply fast! Looking to bid on 1 of the 2.

    Thanks for your reply!

    Hey man. Not that I've heard of because its a full digital display as opposed to individual LED's.
    I know when you upgrade 9500i to ix, they keep the same color...I'm not sure if thats out of owner preference, to cut extra cost, or just difficulty...but..

    Email user LANguy99, he could probably tell you. He does the custom LED's in V1's....but I'm not sure.

    Thats one difficult username you have there...I hope you don't forget it!

    well the problem is that the display is not just led's its a complete display. The problem with that is that from what I know they are custom made for belscort. If you had a blue or red one to swap out with that could easily be done. But for me to find a new display, I don't think that is possible.

    thats what I figured. the only way I think it'd be worth it to mod (as opposed to buying another one in the color you wanted), would be if someone gave you a detector that wasnt working anymore - yet the display still was.

    Otherwise you'd be paying for another working detector to get the display..and at that point wouldnt really NEED to do the mod.

    Plus you'd still have to pay shipping and mod cost for LANguy to do it if you werent capable yourself.

    I believe the Blue display also requires more power compared to the Red.

    No big deal anyway. I bought a blue one and its no better than the red display.
    I wouldnt spend the extra money to get blue over red again just for apearances.
