anyone wants to replace your stock bulbs with green superbright LED? I have a set for sale...perfectly working...brilliant green color...very bright...no hot spot. I am selling it at cost to get some money to try different color

Pics below is green LED installed..notice, the color is NOT green in the pics cuz my damn camera doesn't take true pics..in real life, it's 10x brighter and greener.

 

another pics of green LED...in real life, it's greener

red red red!!!

nice pics

 

This is what happens to you if you are unemployed . You got to find better things to do ... like getting married

 

Man I like the blue.. Wish I had the guts to pull that thing apart.

 

blue! i'm so going to do that someday

 

RandomWalk,

Did you breadboard the diodes&resistors or hot glue etc? how long approx. did all that take too? Ive been itching to do it and have a week off starting monday I was hoping to do the entire instrument cluster, radio and clock (since it burned out) in super Bright Blue to match other aftermarket displays in the cars....

 

ya what all is involved in installation. i have no fears about taking the dash apart but im not quite sure whats involved in actually replacing the LED.

id like to do my entire dash red

 

I dunno about a red illuminated dash.... To me it'd look poser bimmer or pontiac

To do the dash youd have to remove all the factory bulbs and make a few breadboards to mount up behind the panels you want to illuminate. On the breadboard itself you have to mount resistors b4 the LED to drop the coltage to whatever the LED your using is rated for (Ohms law). The radio I think already uses LEDS so you will prolly have to replace (unsolder) the existing LEDS and Resistors. Keep in mind that LED's arent like regular bulbs .. you have to put voltage through the correct direction.

I know this is going to be a pain in the ass project but after the V-AFC installation t cant be all that bad lol

 

and blue bulbs isnt poser VW??


seems like this is a mission i couldnt do on my own. oh well

 

Uhhmnnn... oh yeah... ok you got me lol

 

Its not particularly difficult .. I imagine its incredibly time consuming and requires some serious patience... Ill be in trouble there .....

 

hehe..I'm waiting for a hot hot girl for that..send one my way


Bullet: get that thing out is easy. I must have pulled it out AT LEAST 20 times already

 

no, this is not soldering into the PCboard..it's mod into the bulb socket..so basically you twist your stock socket off and put this one on...kinda time consuming to do it..but it's safer.

 

dude.. I WISH I got the SKILLS to do that.... I WOULD DO MINE ALL WHITE...... like LEXUS

 

Early this year someone posted a very detailed DIY with pictures. He changed all the bulbs in his dash, climate control, and radio to blue. It looked like it was very difficult with lots of chances to F the whole thing up.

I don't remember who it was but I remember Astro replying that he had ordered the bulbs to do the conversion as well.

 

Dude, there was a guy who replaced them ALL with superwhite LEDs and all...there are about 30 leds behind the instrumental cluster (some are hidden inside like gear selector etc.) He replaced the clock/ a,c etc too...costed him nearly $300 plus is LED alone. He will do it for you for something like $500 plus shipping...HIs nickis Honhil or something like that. He's the same guy who make the accent rings and aluminum door knob (lock).

Again, it's not just expensive, it's very time consuming....and for me, I simply don' thave the patience to do all of them and I'm not willing to spend hundreds of dollars to replace the lights. I think $20 is enough for me

 

That guy isn't changing bulbs for anyone. He said it was too much of a pain in the ass. I asked him...

 

YOUR SN looks familiar... *THINKInG*
