Instrumental Cluster in BLUE!! *Pics*

[argos]

How do i change my instrumental cluster to ENTIRELY Blue?? i want to replace all the orange.

[WhiteSpeed3]

ask the biz he has done it already

[Gizzmo_jr]

It's a dealer option...

j/k You've gotta take apart the cluster, headunit, etc completely until the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and remove then replace the red surface mount LED's with blue ones.

[MattC]

wow that looks funky half done! haha

Now, I understand how you would change all the LEDs to be blue, but how to you change the cig lighter to be blue? on my car its powered by a white bulb covered in OJ plastic.

do they sell those fittings in blue?

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Havent done the cluster yet, But I have the LEDs on standby.

Just waiting for a couple of days to work on it

Can you post pics when your done??

Is it possible to get everything lit in blue? (includeing the engine/battery/etc light)??

Thanks!

[McGuyver_3]

did this a while ago

[MattC]

IMO. itd be cool to make the needle light bright white against the blue numbers.

[McGuyver_3]

yeah that would be cool and that has been myplan for a while but i dont feel like pulling the cluster apart again. Aligning the as guage was so difficult last time

[argos]

great work McGuyver. How long did it take you to do?

[Zubbie]

Are you gonna change your AC/Heat controls as well??

[McGuyver_3]

great work McGuyver. How long did it take you to do?

Thanks
1)swapping the leds approx (combo with 3) 20-30 mins
2)removing the cluster and breaking it down 20mins
3)running up and downstairs making sure they light up 20-30mins
4)aligning the gas guage up so it would work properly 20-30mins lol

THATS IT?!?!
It took me almost 8 hours just to do my Headunit and LCD screen

Yea I know, I've tried to remove the controls without taking apart the entire dash, but I haven't gotten it. The only way is to disconnect the AC/Heat controls from the front of the car.

Thats not 100% correct there is a way to remove it without taking it out all the way there is a how to on the american boards. I cannot find the link but if i do i will post it here so you can all see

[Tokyo Drift]

I was planning to do this mod too but i think it's a hard work for me
and taking long time to finish. but someday i'll try

[TYLERM7]

are you guys talking about this...

[-RJ3-]

Wow Tyler, the last I saw your threads it was 12... You've posted alot here!!! You might be as fast as Broli LOL!

btw...Nice work on the 3.

[TYLERM7]

haha well i was kinda bored last night, and its like i said before, ppl are a little more friendly here than other forums, so its not hard to just get carried away talking about crap. thanks for the complement though. i was actually thinking about doing the same thing to my hood!!! does yours go to the roof as well?

[-RJ3-]

yessir!!! Tried the trunk but it doesnt follow the lines.

[Gizzmo_jr]

Tyler, where did you get your 10mm neo-wedge LED's or bulbs? I'm looking for LED ones but at a good price, autolumination's shipping is f***ing stupid.

[TYLERM7]

THAT WAS KINDA WHAT I THOUGHT. BUT THE ROOF FOLLOWS THE HOOD LINES NICELY! my pops own's a sign shop, and i have any kind of vinyl at my conv. so i was gunna wrap my hood like yours in black just to see what it would look like. also thought about wrapping it in carbon fiber. more for looks than performance, but just to see what it would look like. GIZZMO, ill have to post the link later, cuz im at work right now, and the link is saved on my comp. at home. not sure where i got em', but it was like $10 bucks shipped for the 2 led's... not a bad deal

[Gizzmo_jr]

That be great bud, thanks.

[TYLERM7]

no problem man. i get off work around 10 or so EASTERN time so i will try and do it as soon as i get home if i can remember. if i dont, just PM me and ill do it!

[-RJ3-]

LOL!!! Thats what I was going to do this year as well... CF is popular these days, I'm curious how it would look on our cars....

Sign shop!!! nice.. I get my work done at vehiclewrapz...

[TYLERM7]
