i love your ideas gaping! look very unique. i didnt know that was even possible. i definately want to do that to my car. im gettin tired of seein the green on the dash

BigLizard

just go to www.LEDautomotive.com

there are step by step instructions on LED conversion. No need for a DIY when it's right there.

TLSC

Yes there is, but gap did a great job mixing the hyper white and blue LED for a unique look. Also note it seems there are hardly any hot spots in his install. He is doing something right!

Thanks

That Looks awsome!! I got a little bit confused about the number and types of LEDs. can you tell me exactly how many LED's and what type of LED's did you use for each part? I just want to change the followings:

Climate controls (Buttons and LCD)
Clock
GAUGE CLUSTER + Turning signals
Odometer

also how many resistors for those?

you did a great job and I cant go back to study unless I do the same with my car!

i didn't want to start a new thread so here is my completed LED gauges. NO HOT SPOTS FTW!! this is a combination of 2 different bulbs and about 15 additional LEDs glued in.
To anyone thinking they are going to buy a few screw in LEDs and solder a few in and be done....you're wrong. I'm so tired of F'n soldering but damn glad to be done.

hey i live in austin and would most likely break something if i tried this mod myself and was wondering if you would be willing to do this on any other car i would be willing to pay for your time or just help me while i do it

horsepowercrzy18

i also live near austin and would pay you to help me do my conversion and help fill me in on which leds to buy and from where

bms270

I just finished mine but I dont like the guages because mine is so dim! how did you put the 15 extra LED's inside the box? would you tell me more about what you did? thank you

i am willing to provide a material list and advice at this time. this project is really time consuming. i will write up a little DIY as a reference.

Looks bad ass. Can you take a picture with a normal lense, instead of the Fish Eye lense?

I'm jealous. Looks farking awesome.

bms270

has anyone noticed why after this conversion the open door indicator on the odometer falsely shows that the driver door is open?

cltypeSLOW

rofl i hope you arent serious. he prob took the pic with the door open.

UNCTYPE-S

I know what you mean. I mean, even the seatbelt light went on. wtf.

No, Im really serious! because this happened to me and I noticed the same thing in the pictures! I am not that stupid but mine is always on since the conversion!

You sure all of the gauge cluster harnesses are connected correctly? I never had a problem with the door indicator staying on. Could be a sensor malfunction, which might just be a coincidence. My SRS light did stay on after putting everything back together, which was a coincidence, due to the OPDS sensor in the seats.

So, to change the lights on the volume knob on the radio, do u have to open up the radio unit?

Thanks gaping, there should be some problem somewhere, but its not that important, I was just curious if anybody got the same problem till I noticed the same thing. thanks anyway!

GCaps

thats a hell of a lot of work!!!

lmao, forget that. stock is fine.

the door thing, it might be because the sensor is loose...

seanranger3

so has anyone wrote up a DIY or what.

DIY: Replace OEM bulbs with LED bulbs.

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

ya and have horrible hot spots.

in the gauges you replace all the bulbs with led bulbs and also add lots of additional LEDs to fill in the dark spots. there is more info posted somewhere on the forum.

No DIY (yet). It's even more time consuming than the conversion itself. If anyone's interested in taking this on themselves, I'd suggest purchasing used parts from anywhere you can find them, ebay, junk yard, etc, and get to know what you're getting into. If you want something that is quality, professional, and looks stock, it is much more difficult than replacing a few stock bulbs. Good luck.

sinfulj32

i was going to do this when i first got my cls6. but i got lazy lol. i'm straight with stock.

Figured Id post this here. Ive been in the middle of replacing burned out bulbs then fell in love w/ the blueish led look. And didnt feel like paying $3 a bulb plus shipping so i found these.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/2pcs-T3-T4-T...item2eba0bdf0d
