[DWATTS5250]

I was looking at the 24 LED 1156 from Superbrightled.com, but if there is something brighter Id like to go with that.

I'll be waiting to see that write up on how you did those, I'd do it in a heart beat if i knew which bulbs to get and how to take out the cluster

Hah my bad man, that was bad wording on my part. I meant I'll be waiting on the diy write up on the hvac lights.
They look soo sick, but the only diy I have seen for the hvac was someone who put colored paper behind and didnt change the bulbs ( which i am guessing you got blue bulbs and changed em out)

See thats so much cleaner than cutting some paper and sutffing it in. I'd rather do the leds like you. I've got a blue kenwood head unit so I wanna blue out my interior lights.
Speaking of which, i went to go get a pic of my interior a few minutes ago and the door open light and the two push lights next to the rear view mirror didnt work at all. any ideas??

So far the DIY wirte up for changing the HVAC lights has consisted of me breaking my hazard switch, banging my head on the underside of the dash, and droping my Nikon off the curb. It has not been a good start.

Ordered the bulbs, havent reconnected anything.....ordered new camera. Am enjoying my Ibuprofen and Vodka right now. Ill keep yall posted.

Oh I see how it is! I post up pics of my green neon/cluster set up and no one says anything, but once Cole comes in with his blue everything ya'll go crazy. You guys just be hatin' on the green

Lmao it's just because it doesn't get much more legit that mine haha jk, probably just cause I have the climate control done

And....well.....it is green......Im not too partial to the idea of green interior, kinda sway away from the Klingon Warship look....and blue, well at least you dont look so sick...lol.

But hey, green makes your ride unique....to you....and thats all fine and good with me. Unless you want us all to have green insides....i can change my order for LED.s....:twisted:

I was like the second one on this forum (that we know of) who did the neons after you haha, I think if anything I'm the second most legit. I was the first to get them wired to turn on with headlights, so hah! But yeah it's prob 'cause of the climate control. If only someone would post up that DIY I've been asking for months :roll:

I don't know about his, but because mine are wired to turn on with the cluster/interior lighting/headlights, when I remote start my car (my 2way security has the function) when I step in it's all lit up until I shift into gear after putting the key in position. You should find a way to get it to light up when the door opens, that would be sick! If you wanna know where to pull wires from for that, I posted a full Gen 3 wiring diagram/manual somewhere in the electronics section.

They must be jealous, it's the only reasonable explanation haha.
But that's alright, I don't need people to like 'em I think you should do pink, it would suit you, trolol just kidding. If you did green I'd like you more though

Yeah, Im replacing the bulbs with LEDs....3mm in the hazard and defrost switch and 5mm in the HVAC cluster. thankfully there are only 2 bulbs in each area.

Haha very true. And hey, I told you to do it lmao. And quiet you, I've been in the middle of a move hahaha

You need 4mm for the hvac I believe.... (I'll check, but unless I'm going crazy, I believe it's 4) I didn't touch the defrost button cause I though it'd look funny a different color behind the red. And yes, I did the one in the defrost, I also did the cruise control switch and there's two sets of two bulbs for the hvac
