hmm minus the blue behind the aircon it looks ok, but you need to fix the dash its got hotspots.

[jason_85]

how did you get the dials and heater controls to light up evenly? mine are bright in one spot dull in others...

[jason_85]

what globes did you use?

[Pickle']

Jason, His has hot spots in it too.. how can you not see that?

[jason_85]

its not as bad as mine lol... but yeah i didnt notice before...

[SE85VT]

Yeah the hot spots arent to bad it shows up less then others i have seen and

sorry dude but thats got more rice than china town.

how the lights are australian i bought them as a set from a guy who puts the led in the holden light holder things and the gauge is american what is chinese lol also the light behind the vents i think it evens out the dash instead of there being as darkspot at night it illuminates it niceley i have turned the light around since then so it dosenot shine out but it shines on the back ov the vent and looks good. Ill get some photos tonight

[SE85VT]

[jason_85]

how did you get the dials and heater controls to light up evenly? mine are bright in one spot dull in others...

it takes some adjusting i even got my heater dial to go blue green red
iphone camera doesn't show its beauty it's all perfectly lit and not as bright

you need to get 12 volt surface mount LED and and slip the casing off solder in place and then adjust angles and distance then hot glue them in place or whatever other method

[jason_85]

that looks good.. i did mine dodgy yesterday (got bored lol)... now its dull in some spots and bright in others.. how did you light it up out of the car?

[oska]

i use an old 12v motorbike battery and some alligator clips any 12v source will work

pin 1 is 12v+ and the directly below it is NEG

[jason_85]

awesome.. save me connecting up the head light switch just to test them out haha

[jason_85]

where do i get the blue surface mount led strip or what ever it is ??

[SE85VT]

i don t know what bulbs they are the guy i bought them off sent me all the bulbs alreddy in the connectors cost 15 +5 post but i cant find him anymore but all he did was get a bunch of led bulbs and wired them in to the holden socket things i broke one and had to rewire it my self its easy as. but cant help you sorry

[SE85VT]

what is the strip for?

[SE85VT]

100 3mm Ultra Bright Blue 8000 mcd LED Bulb Light lamp | eBay you could buy these and re wire all the original bulbs

[jason_85]

how do you remove the standard globe from the holder and wire these in? looks to fiddly lol

[SE85VT]

for the dash use t5 for the ones above you just get a small flat head screw driver and place it under the part of the wire in this pic and twist then pull the wires stright under the globe and pull the globe out then put the wires of the led through the two holes and wrap it around easy as after you have done one

[oska]

i used something like these bend the pins back and the cover comes off

10 Car Blue Dashboard Meter Wedge LED Bulb Lamp Light T5 73 74 W2.3W Replacement | eBay

[jason_85]

ive got t5 smd's in the heater controls at the moment but like i said it is dodgy.. i will be soldering the contact wires and hot glue the smd's in place properly.. thanks all

[MikeCuzzy]

Sorry mate, only vents that should have blue LED's in them are in computer cases.

Otherwise I don't mind it, I prefer a green dash myself, just wouldn't mind it being that LED crisp/bright light rather than bulb light.

[SookyTurner]

Hey

I love the blue behind the vents. It looks awesome and Evens out and doesnt have a real dark spot at night.
