got bulbs from gaping and put in gauges and climate control and clock. turned out nice. let me know what you think.

 

tough task? looks real good

 

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?

 

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.

 

what u mean? hotspots will appear after a month?

 

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.

 

looks way hot, i like it! i would pay someone to do this for me.. i know its a pain to do it

 

is the clock area plug and play?

i want all my stuff white... but dont have the patience to acetone the filter. =\ anyone want to do it for me?

 

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.

 

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

 

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

white ftmfw jeremy

 

i want this done SO bad but dont trust anyone to do it...

 

i would pay too, it gives the car such a new look...

 

They look good

 

wow, looks soo good, but after reading DIY its too hard for me lol, just don't have a lot of time to do it....

nice job

 

looks hott, although i would never attempt this myself. If anyone in the tristate area has had this done at a shop, lemme know where if they did a good job...

 

SO what type of LEDs did you USE!?, and did you get them off ebay or other sources!?,
plz let me knw,

i used xenon whites. i bought from gaping so i duno exactly which ones they are

 

thanks, did you buy them online or?? do you ve' picture of exact ones from Gaping?
How many LED does it Require?, if you can remember.
R.

 

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

 

i think 15 leds

 

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?

 

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?"

 

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

 

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?

 

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

 

Alright thanks,
R.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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.
