are those white LEDs through the filter on the gauges giving it the blue color? or did you remove the filter and use blue LEDs?

horsepowercrzy18

there white led's through the filter. turned out better than i expected. suprised its blue through the filter.

looks pretty nice.
now if a few months you'll be back in the gauge pod adding more LEDs to fix the hot spots.

horsepowercrzy18

what u mean? hotspots will appear after a month?

distortedolskool

iTrader: (1)

no they will not just appear but it looks like there are some where the main bulbs are. (could just be the camera because i know mine showed hot spots really bad when i took pictures the first time.) did you add additional LEDs behind the gauges?

i just meant that you will want to have even light dispersement and want to tear back into it. i had one dim spot and tore back into mine a few weeks ago.

That actually came out pretty good. I like the way everything has blue to it...really makes everything match.

Everything is white LEDs going through the stock blue filter, including the A/C, clock and Gauge cluster.

horsepowercrzy18

ya the clock had a green filter i took out so its white. but looks good

cltypeSLOW

kick ass job man, the cluster looks amazing with LED's

LiquidCLs6

theres a DIY posted somewhere around here.... do a search, they might of added it to the FAQ thread

horsepowercrzy18

i think 15 leds

underst8

How does the clock and climate control screens? are they white or blue like the rest of the bulbs that go through the stock filter? do u have a good pic of one of the screen areas?

I'm assuming you loose dimming ability with this mod?

NightRider

That looks similar to 04+TL style, I like that. Definitely nice. Going from the TL at night to the CLs at night "I was like WTF where is teh brightness?"

horsepowercrzy18

i took the filter out of the clock and its whitish. dont take the filter out of the ac

underst8

why did you decide to take the filter out of the clock? any reason or just preference? I'm probly gonna do this.

Gaper are you making all the required bulbs available for purchase?

horsepowercrzy18

to see if it was white white. but i want to get a blue led for the clock

ReiDLos

Alright thanks,
R.

GrandeInter10

That looks bad ass man. Good job! I'd love to get that done on my ride too...

03silvertypeS

Looks REALLY good, especially since it matches with everything else (head unit, etc)

Tweek

I searched around a little and cant find the DIY. Does anyone have a link?

Typeslow: what leds did you use? Thats exactly how I want mine to turn out.

horsepowercrzy18

getting the bulbs iss the only hard part of this conversion. ask gaping for the bulb numbers

gaping46and2

iTrader: (2)

Bulb numbers are #24, and can be found at autolumination.com

cltypeslow's gauges included these bulbs, and several additional single LEDs soldered and glued into place to achieve a better overall illumination and the removal of the blue filter behind the gauge faces.
