    Default Gen3 cluster /LED

    Anyone able to post a photo of where all the bulbs go in a gen3 manual cluster please.
    I removed all the bulbs to try and put LEDs in and failed now i forgot where they all go back together lol.
    Also anyone know where i can get a complete LED kit for the vt ? looking for a simple plug in and works

    again have u got a test light? if not u can test each 1 and wat eva socket lights up put a globe back in there. if u wanna check ur warning lights use the hidden mode feature 2 check ur warning lights as they should all light up so u can check they r all working.

    As 4 the LEDs u got wat r the specs? chances r they used the wrong resistors or the LEDs rnt that great. This is y wen we say with ebay u get wat u pay 4 trying 2 convert it the cheap way which in the end doesnt work, we have tried them all, so ur best off gettin it done properly.

    lol u wont get anywhere near close 2 it by just swapping over the globes, theres alot more work involved 2 get it perfect.

    I have just ordered some more led's off ebay, username poOhBeAr or similar, i didnt buy enough the first time. they come in packs of ten for $6 and the resistor's are $1.30 for ten. i did my own blue LED conversion and it looks sweet as! i will take a couple of picks of the back of the cluster if you still need it? did you get 1/2 watt resistors? anything below this and they will not last long at all.

    You will need two packs of ten, ask for 20 1/2 watt resistors aswell and he will invoice you a few extra dollars. i havent received mine yet so will probably have a crack at the rest of the dash next weekend, ill take some pics then to give you an idea.
