i would have mixed the colors up... blue/white would have looked dope... but it takes WAY too much time.. its just like people modifying their nokia phones.... changed the led's out its not that hard. just time consuming

I have to say that I think it looks nucking incredible!!

However, what's the over/under on how many things I would absolutely ruin while trying to do it

That's major brass to be willing to go in blind and start disasembling the whole cabin of the car. How many of you would have had no problem with making the decision to crack open that bose head unit and take apart the 4 pcb's


Major props just for getting it all put back together....with any color lights at all.

ya that does look sweet!

I wonder what the bulb life is on the new ones he installed too.

I bet that took a ton of time and patience!

nice job!

Tall props for the guy.

Soopa gave me the idea a while back when I replaced the stock red LED with super bright blue LED. However, I stopped at the moment I looked at the lights in the radio. I had so many other things to be completed first. Maybe I'll do it when I have nothing else to do to my car

That is a lot of work. But I just may do it. If you take it component by component it's not so bad. But it does require some background in the area.

Two big thumbs up to that guy.

I've been planning that for quite awhile now...after I take care of the aluminum sills/trim groupbuy, and the angel eyes (oh you'll see that soon)...I'll have a groupbuy for this...don't worry guys. Nate didn't know what he was doing and paid a hella lot more than he should have for those LEDs...hopefully I can get a lot of people interested and buy en masse for cheap prices .

Ha ha ha I've seen you post that SOO many times man. Definitely props...but I think for what you want to charge to get it done for others you paid too much for your stuff. Looks good though...I really like what you did with the cover by the shifter...I've been thinking about doing that myself. Glad to see it's been done and looks good.

hchhon,

Where can I find those bulbs behind your tachometer/speedometer. I'm interested in changing mine out.

I had to change mine out in last car, Lexus ES300, because the bitches kept burning out. But I just want to do it to my CL for looks.

Thanks.
