LED Climate Control

I need to replace the bulb on my clock because it doesn't light up so I figured I'd go with LEDs. There is a climate control/clock LED kit from ledautomotive but I'm torn between the two colors blue or white. I want to go blue but I don't want it to look out of place so I was thinking white but being LEDs they will most likely be a lot brighter than stock and may still look out of place. Anyone have any pics of the hyper white kit installed there are none on the site?

I personally like the blue. IMO, while you have that part of the dash removed I would do a fill LED conversion.

Wait...let me get this straight...

You know how to replace all your LED's down the center dash but don't know how to take a picture with a camera!

very nice fluffy.

i haven't seen many do the radio, is it just "pop old bulbs out...pop new LEDs in" like you can do with the climate control now?

It is definitly harder to do the radio but if you can do the climate control etc you do the radio just take your time and be carefull not to take out something that is not a bulb

Oh I have done a couple of switchs in my old 95 maxima and I am planing on doning every swith in my CL (when it gets warmer it a little harder to get it apart but once its a part it pretty straight forward.

okay, so my plans for doing the LED conversion went up in smoke. Broke my climate control by shorting out something on the circuit board and now the air goes on full blast when i plug it in and i cant have any option of changing it. (All fuses are ok, nothing is blown)

And it just looks kinda stupid IMO, I guess its personal tast, thought id like it but i guess i didnt. oh well.

Anyone know where i can pick up a climate control for CHEAP?!

You can probably fix yours if you send me a close up picture of the circuit board I may be able to tell you how to fix it

I really hope you are installing quality LED's because it's going to be a pain if they all start dying on you like the cheap ones do.

Some people on Azine have had real nightmares with LED's
