LED Cluster

I finally did my LED conversion in the cluster. I have hyper white for the gauges and blue for the odometer.

Its actually quite easy to do. I just replaced the bulbs with #74 LEDs found from this site: http://superlumination.com/74.htm its the first bulb on that page, you will need 5. Then search for subtledreamer's thread on how to take the dash apart.

Nevermind about the tripod, do something about your apparent arthritis first. lol

That looks very good, so everything was plug-and-play? Any hotspots or dim spots on the gauges?

And is it 5 bulbs for the whole cluster including the odometer? What about the needles and warning lights??

Would these work for the climate control, shiftgate, radio and window switches too?

I put the camera in night mode so it takes forever to snap a pic.

the odometer needs 3 #74 leds (single leds), different from the ones used in the speedo (tri power leds). There aren't really noticeable hotspots, if you are really picky then the top part from 100-130km/h may be a tad bit dimmer. But overall I was really satisifed with the outcome.

I left the warning lights stock.

Nope, you need different LEDS for those, search for subtledreamer's thread, its very comprehensive and should tell you all the LEDs you need for the climate area.
