Cool. I installed LED in my cluster too, but after that my odometer was not working. Anyway, I really like the LED, it just makes the car seem up to date lol. BTW, I have a problem with my cigarette lighter. Every time I plug into the socket, it blows a fuse. Do you guys have this problem or know what is going on here? I've heard there is a tiny ground cable that attaches to the cigarette lighter, so I think this might be the problem for me. What LED did you put in the key ring area? I've checked your post but it did not mention anything about the LED for that. Unless I miss it, it would be great if you tell me how you installed the LED for the key ring. Thx.

Here you go.

As for your blowing a fuse problem. I can't really help you without knowing more about the problem. First thing I would do is to use a volt meter and check the voltage from the cigarette lighter hot wire to a simple ground (metal plating somewhere in the car is easy enough to find).

You could always trace your ground wire and check for continuity. Or whatever you are plugging in is faulty and is drawing too much current.

Damn, I must be blind. The T5 or 74 LED, I think I will go with red LED for the key ring How easy is to replace that bulb? You just remove the dash cover and unplug the bulb, and then plug in the LED? Did you change the light bulb in the AT gear selector too?

Nope nope nope!

All Domes (all 6) as well as all puddle lamps (all 4) as well as my turn signal and tail lamps have all been converted to LED. (Ill take a pic for you so you can see how they compare to halogen My reverse LED's should be coming in in a few days. The only non-LED in/on my car is the front turn signals, cluster, and center stack lights.

My most recent project:

Damn, you beat me lol. If you want to change the cluster into LED, you need to be really careful. For some reason, after I replaced with LED my odometer was not working any more which kind of sad. Regardless, I still love the LED look hahaa. Some one needs to figure out how to install LED to the climate control.

Yea, I will tackle the cluster when I get a change. And I'm not sure about the climate control, are they a specific size do you know?

Big problem guys. It was raining last night and I just noticed that this morning my parking light is not working. Not only that but my taillights, license plate lights are not working too. However my brake lights, headlights and all the lights inside the car are working. Do you guys have any idea? Do you think it is the fuse problem? Thx.

First things first! Definitely check the fuses. I'm not sure which ones as I don't have the diagram in front of me but it should tell you on the cover and/or the manual. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Ok, I think I've found the answer. Every time I put in a a new fuse it blew up, so I removed the Angle eyes that I hooked up to my driving light(the one small light in the head light). After that I installed both of the "Small Light" fuse 7.5A and it working now.

Cool Cool. Although, as long as they're LED, the angel eyes shouldn't be drawing so much current that it blows the fuse. Are all of the connections correct?

Yeah, I pretty sure that I connected them correct. There is only two wires for the parking light, one is +/-. I connected the + on the angel eye to the + of the parking light and the - to the - on the parking light. It worked for almost two year and it just blew the fuse yesterday when it was raining the whole night. I don't know by any chances if the water get in the connectors. Anyway, does any one know the gauge of the the two wires for the parking light? I've planned to extend that wire into the high beam housing for the LED. Thx.
