as far as the 3 smaller ones we need a smaller bulb. more like this one correct: http://cgi.ebay.com/LED-DASHBOARD-DI...QQcmdZViewItem

How about the climate control? Can we change the color to mach our cluster? That would be awesome if we can.

i was tryin to taclke one thing at a time but next i wanted to get into things like climate and mainly things like the window control buttons.. anyone know if any of these bulbs are the same size as either one of the 2 listed above?

[1995c280]

that first link for the 2 big bulbs doesn't work. you have the page on ebay so i can buy them from the guy and start this install. i would also like to try and covert the numbers around the shifter but that is a very small skinny bulb that i haven't found except OEM replacement (nothing bright white or anything like that)

item: 200024591000

[1995c280]

yeah it worked now...so just to make sure you need 2 of the big ones for the main illumination and 3 small ones for the odometer, clock, and temp-------------right?

Jason

[1SIKBNZ]

yup thats what frenchy said and i trust him cuz hes actually changed out the bulbs =) so 2 big ones which are reffered to as T10 and 3 smaller reffered to as T5.

[1995c280]

ok so i just bought the 2 big ones. the auction for the small ones says T1.5 - not T5, lol. just thought i'd point that out. i am gonna buy the small ones now.

Hi,

@1SIKBNZ : Yes, the 2 ebay links for the Bulbs are good.

So, y'ou'll need 2 big ones, but 5 small ones and not 3.

Since there are 3 small bulbs for the 3 displays (Clock, Miles, Temp°), but there are 2 more small bulbs beside the 2 big ones (One for the Right side of the RPM, and the second one for the left side of the Water Temp°)

As you can see on this pic :

The 2 small bulbs are in orange on the pic below.



Unfortunately, i've lost all the pics i made of the Installation, they were on my former MSN homepage, but since i havn't open this page for more than one month, they closed it...

Here a little Paint job, to show you how I cut the plastic pieces inserted behind the OEM Gauges. To insert them, you don't need to remove the needles, you just have to unstuck the gauges all around by pulling them slowly, and then you just have to place correctly the red parts. The better way, do that on a table, and place a light under the Cluster, so you'll be able to put parts correctly.

Here the Pic :



Regards,

Frenchy.

hmm interesting... ill have to see after getting the ulbs if that will be a neccasary step. thanks! also thanks for pointing out that i would need 5 of the smaller bulbs! im hoping that having the 2 big bright led ones wont overpower those other smaller white ones that were listed. id hate to have 2 diff. whites but then again i dont think white has alot of shades. lmao.

Hi,

Those Leds are not good, since 2 of them never light the same.
I've already used the same model and they were blown after 2 weeks...

The "inverted" means that they can be plugged directly to the 12V, without adding Resistor

[1SIKBNZ]

ahhh, gotcha/ yeah they seemed kinda blah. i didnt think that they wld be gd but i had never heard of them and were just wondering what they would be used for... thanks! damn frechy your like the led light guru. lmao!

[1995c280]

ok so i added to my order and bought 2 of the big bulbs and 6 of the small ones (1 extra since they come is sets of 2). these are plug and play - no resistor or anything needed...correct!

i got all white bulbs!!!!!!!

Jason

[1SIKBNZ]
