it's not a major big job to replace the red FBH led with a green one if you're handy with a soldering iron. It's handy to have the lights on indicator particularly if you use the auto lights feature.
Is this something you have actually done, where did you get the led
Any pics Never get mad - get even !!

Where do you get the software up-dates from? I have a blackbox faultmate MSV and wondered what was involved to up-date the software?
Thanks for any help you can offer
Seasons greeting to all
You get the updates from the Blackbox website in the download section where your tup codes are stored click on the link and it takes you to a page where you select the files for your car.

disco_steve -
Yes I did this mod on mine after having had the function activated by Gordon at 4-Tech, mainly because I had already acquired a RRS dash as a donor for parts. I used the clock overlay, (the printed plastic sheet with the clock markings and warning light symbols,) and swapped the relevant led from the main circuit board, there are quite a number of green led's on there.
and just stick with the FBH symbol instead of the lights one, I guess it doesn't really matter that much so long as you know what it means.
Edit to add - sorry no pics Clive
