Climate control bulb change

https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-cl-diy-faq-74/climate-control-led-swap-diy-modification-696786/

 

Im kinda confused here and maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
For the speedo cluster and tach do i need the neo4/neo5 wedge lights withe little twist thing built in? and what one the 4mm or the 5mm and how many?
And also the climate control unit to change out those to leds is it he same bulb if so how many should i get and 4mm or 5mm?
Also if i change over to a blue light will it show thru the green backing on the speedo cluster as blue or do i need to strip it?
thank you, there is alota info in this thread maybe i am missing what i am looking for i just wana get it right the first time and only take things apart once

 

nevermind i ordered a bunch of stuff, i think i got it correct so we shall see

 

The neo4 is for the climate control, the guages are 194/168, you should try reading the threads, it's all here

 

hey i think i just f*d up i think i bought the wrong lights for the top parking lights but at the same time i think it is right.... is our top parking lights a 22mm x 38 mm?...

 

No idea on the dimension of the bulbs they're 168 (there are a ton of bulb sizes that cross reference with 168 though I believe)

 

Top and bottom corner bulbs as well as the license plate bulbs are all 194/168

 

eh i guess.. lol and also i know this is off topic but i am kinda worried bout gettin a fix it cuz i am still on my provisional license and i just bought some 7000k xenons hid and was wondering if most of the people on here even use that much kelvins. thanks in advance

 

lol i just swapped out the turn signals in the front, and then ALL my lights that has to do with the turning is blinking really fast.... even in my dashboard.. this kinda scares me because i read about something about hyper blinking but will this screw up the car? or wires? it is funny tho but yea thanks in advance

 

It's not really good for the relay, but it will work, I couldn't stand the rapid blink, and yanked mine out. You need some resistors

 

lol I Kind of like the rapid blinks but what do u mean by relays? So overall it isn't good for the cat then huh?...

 

That clicking noise you hear when the blinker is on is the relay. A relay is an electrically controlled switch. When they blink super fast, you can overheat the coil. I've played with a relay before making it switch super fast, they get HOT.

 

so that means i can F up my relay wires? or wut?... then is it ok if i put it in my back up lights?

 

the fast blink caused by the turn sig bulbs are bad for the relays, regular led bulbs are fine

 

dam... so i gotta replace these lights for new ones? how many leds would you recommend? i don't even know wut to put in them anymore... i might as well just put these 15 leds as my back up lights then huh? thanks for all the responce.

 

Ive been on the search, any turn signal led bulb made with the resinator for the front and rear turn signals, or do you have to get them seperatly..

 

Only ones I've found you have to do seperately

 

They need to get on that, those bulbs would be very indemand.

 

anyone know what type of bulb is in the vanity mirror?

 

The one on the visor or the map lights? The visor I don't know, but have always wondered, I think it might be a 74 but don't quote me just a guess

 

nawww im talking about the visors. i already replaced the map lights. its a festoon bulb so its not a 74 (at least for the 98s-99s, i dont know whats in the 97s)

 

The vanity is a festoon? That's news to me the visor is one of the only things I haven't taken apart on my car

 

thats the vanity light, on the bulb it says 12V 0.15A 8-A270

 

looks the same as the map lights, I'm sure it's smaller though

at the finger in the pic

 

the map lights for my car are 194s, yours are 3021s right? these are different then 3021s, they're a wee bit smaller.

 

hey chris i figured out what type of bulb that is, its a #31 bulb. superbrightleds doesnt have them but the vendor Prestigehid does. so if you could go ahead and add that bit of info to the n00b guide, that'd be great.

 

mmmmmmmmm yeahhhhh.... I'm just not sure about that.... I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday too... mmmmmkay?

 

If I get the #6 LED bulbs for the maplight from superbrightleds, and the #9 LED bulbs from autolumination for the Dome light, will the colors be a lot different, or does it look good.

 

well for the 97 cl i try to do the keyhole but the leds in there are way different from the #74s can i still solder those or get smaller ones

 

hey guys i see you guys posted several sites for the leds im trying to do the full led swap this month. Out of all these sites mentioned which do u consider the best quality/cost wise? thanks!!!!

 

I did full interior/exterior from superbrightleds, only exeterior lights I could not do were the refractor types which I got from eBay. In total for everything I spent $85 including resistors for the turn signals and with shipping and all. And the dome light I got a 6 LED rather than a 9 which was recommended. It's just as bright as the stock dome light, and I got a 9 LED for the trunk which is perfect.

 

As far as quality goes, everything still works perfectly fine after 2 months or so with the swap. Everything is still going strong and looks real good. Others have had troubles in the past with LEDs, but I've had no issues thus far with them from superbright.

 

thanks and yea im not doing the turn signals so itll be cheaper for me. My leds for my license plate suck one fell out and the other had connection problems.

 

i recommend superbrightleds. i got most of mine from them and no probs. i got a few from autolumination, i like the SMT tower leds from them better. probably spent around $100 for corners, doors, glove box, gauges, maps, dome, trunk and plates.

 

fuuuuuuuuuu superbright is still out of the 9 bulb 3091 dome lights....anyone else have a source on these? I've done ebay and internet searches and still no luck...this must be a scarce size or something

I just spent 50 bucks on (4) vleds.com 3022 4 smt festoon bulbs...I'll let you know how they are when I install them. From the reviews and what's stated, says they're 2x brighter than the 6smt bulbs...and one of them can illuminate the entire cabin.

Great writeup guys, thanks again

 

autolumination.com, i think thats where i got my dome bulb. are you installing the 3022s in the doors/glovebox/trunk?

 

I used the brightest 3091 that superbright has for the dome which is a 6 LED I believe. I noticed they didn't have the 9 either. The one for the dome that superbright has is just as bright as the stock bulb. I think it's bright enough.

And $50 for (4) 3022 bulbs...? From superbright it's wayyyy cheaper and they look good and are going strong. Anyways, let us know how you like em.

 

Get some SMD festoons they're bright as shit!

 

gracias guys...bummer that they dont have more options for the domelight out there as thats the primary source of light in the cabin

south: yeah bruh 4smt leds per door then one for the drivers side maplight and one for the trunk. these are the brightest that vleds has to offer and .5 watts per bulb...supposedly just one could light up the entire cabin easily...twice as bright as their 6smt led

expensive but ill give a review and pics to let you guys see for yourself

 

has anyone put the spider LED bulbs in? (used in tail lights) im thinking of doing those soon

also i searched superbrightleds and i didnt see anything resembling the bulb in the visor. guess im not replacing that one.
