now that was funny. quoting a guy's website to him. jk, i link the dang site in my sig.

looks good bro, i like the blue.

clamder

u think red LEDs would look good for the dash?

DuMa

haha i can see your needles are off. the idle isnt right and i bet the temp and gas gauge are off.

its okay mines are a little off when i did mines

jxl593

looks good, i used white leds for the parking lights, cops up here in ny hassle you too much, these are the same ones u can use for rear license plate, they look real good on mine

You stated where you bought the led's for the gauges, but which ones? Surface Mount LED - Power Top or Surface Mount LED - Dome Lens or does it matter? Thanks I want to do this quick as possible.

Yeah i know its sucks...but the gas one ____es me off the most.....i marked them all down but they are very hard to get perfect again.....Do you possibly know how to get a pic of what they should be at when car is off????

Fsu1dolfan

How did you get into the rear license plate lights to replace....i havent looked but i was curious if it is difficult??? It takes two of the same parking light ones right?
Thanks

I went to that website, but there are two types offered, which did you get: Surface Mount LED - Power Top or Surface Mount LED - Dome Lens? Thanks!!


Also,

I replaced my license plate lights with leds also, you go through the back of the hatch, very easy.

This is the direct link for the blue ones that i bought:
http://www.lc-led.com/View/itemNumber/98

Power Top Super Blue SMD - 350 mcd
PLCC package type. Footprint: 3.5 x 2.8. InGaN dice material. Colors: Blue (470 nm). High luminous intensity. Viewing Angle: 120 Deg. Compatible with IR reflow soldering process. For optimal colorization and intensity (350 mcd), forward voltage of 3.0V-3.6V is recommended.

To order samples(15 pieces $20.25)

I am not sure if the Dome ones work or not!

drainbamaged

thanks, i'll order those. The viewing angle is much larger anyways. How many did you use and will these work for a/c controls as well?

wow, looks like my car. except i had the radio and ac controls done too. very blue. the ac controls are a _____. i had blue but were so dim you could barley see them. i did white and its actually worse than blue. if you figure out how to make the temp controls brighter please share.

Your HU looks absolutely sick i love it!!!! what type of LEDS did you use and how hard was it too do........you should do a DIY for everyone since there isnt one yet......if you could PM some instructions-hints-problems spots thanks well done


drainbamaged -

Well the thing is that those are the same ones for the ac controls but i have heard that they come out very dim and hard to see.

I used 14 in the gauge controls and this thread is a great DIY to follow!!!!

Thanks for the help Fsu1dolfan, that how-to will help greatlly. I've seen someone do the head unit on other threads but is charging for it. I'm sure we can do it oursellves just as easily. Do the needles on your gauges as accurate as they were before you changed the lights, that's the only thing i'm worried about.

the cluster is beautiful. i dont understand why amber is a standard on most cars. as for the cubby hole, how did you change the bulb?

ChiTowntC

i bought the front/personal lights, cubby, and lisence plates.... im afriad to do the cluster and center cousol... i may have them done when i go all out on the neons (ac/under dash/under seats).... also got the silver front turning signals

ChiTowntC

i wanted to get the hatch light but that lil bulb is 15 bucks... ill keep it turned off

daggerSLADE

i already posted pics in another thread .. but i guess they are worth seein again .. i have blue LEDs in my headlight housing .. and yellow in the side markers .. its a single LED w/ a cone-shaped lens which spreads out the light nicely ..


this is with the headlights on .. ya cant see the blue LED which is nice .. havent had any cops stop me .. btw .. they are sylvania silverstar headlights
