Hey guys, I am in the process of installing the T6.5 led bulbs. I got the board removed already and I see the 10 bulbs that I am suppose to be replacing. What I don't get is how can those T6.5 bulbs go in to the hole and stay there tight. Mine seems to want to fall into the hole. My bulbs look just like some of the ones that the other guys have used and posted pictures of. I have already figured out the polarity on the LEDs. Can someone show me a pictures of the LEDs installed without the back cover on please? Thanks in advance.

Storm.

 

OK. I get it now.I am suppose to take the old bulbs out of the base and replace them with the new bulbs in the old base. LOL. That was dumb by me.....Haha!

 

LOL I said WTF is this guy thinking. Anyway, I plan to do this mod but I could not find any t6.5 led. When did you bought the T6.5 from? Stupid question, what is the correct number for the screwdriver to remove the 20 screw? Thx

 

a #2 philips is what I used to remove the 20 screws on the cluster

the sticky'd thread has the answer to your other question

 

im also planing on doing this mod. i searched on ebay last week after another member recommended me to a specific seller. his ebay id is warden_jp2002. you will be able to find the xenon whites and spark blues from him. my total came out to around.. $25 i believe including shipping for 12 bulbs. hope this helps

 

I thought you only need 10 bulbs , why you bought 12 bulbs? Does he still have some available? lol I need to create an ebay account

 

yess you only need 10 but i bought a couple extra to be safe cause it's very inexpensive. i just checked and the seller does have the t6.5s you need. soooo... get an ebay account and check it out

What color did you get from him? I want Xenon white but he only has 7 bulbs left. I'm going to send him an email and ask if he has some more. If you have the Xenon white, sell it to me lol.

 

Stupid me, he is selling a pair! I should have read it more careful next time.BTW Acudot give me some tips after you finish installing the LED. I don't want to break the whole cluster!

 

i decided to go with the spark blue just because its different. my biggest tip with this project is to be careful with the 20 screws in the back. dont apply too much pressure on the plastic board and be sure not to over tighten or under tighten. the first time i took it apart, my temp gauge stoped working so i had to take it off and untighten some screws. problem solved, but a pain. also, leds have specific polarity and sometimes they are marked incorrectly so be patient because you might need to take off and put on those 20 screws a few times. good luck!! let me know how everything turns out.

 

thanks for the info but all this is covered (in more detail) in the sticky'd thread(second topic from top in our forum, most of the good info is in the first or second page)
