Ok, started my led project, here are some pics

I got mine from there and haven't had any problems. And I replaced every light in my car with leds, no burnouts yet.

i replaced all my bulbs on the interior as well, but for some reason its only the speedo that always seems to go out. all im runnin is hid's, front and rear speakers, and fogs..

I took my own mistakes + the mistakes of those on this thread and here are the results



I spent several hours tweaking everything to remove the hot spots, etc

ill be making a full DIY when i have some free time ( 2nd year medical student)

Looks nice man.

As far as LEDautomotive.com.... I think their LEDs are still really high quality and they haven't burnt out quickly for me.

Got my lights, time to test out the install tonight! I tried pulling some bulbs out of their plastic sockets and they are jammed in there f***ing tight. How did you guys get them out?

I was just thinking, for us canadians who don't want reverse (mph) gauges and want to keep the stock black, what do you think would happen if you sprayed something like this product( in clear of course) on your gauges, so that they would glow like white gauges at night when your dash lights come on? By dash lights I mean the two little ones up top that shine onto the gauge faces

Ok so here is the list of bulbs I have compiled.

Picture 1


Picture 2



Both pictures are not my own to begin with, all I did was put colorful circles on them.

The yellow circles represent size 74-x Wedge Base LED bulb http://www.superbrightleds.com/store/html/images/74-2.jpg

The red circles represent size WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb

The 2 pictures above are different styles of dash, since I don't know what differentiates the 2 I will give you a list of confirmed number of bulbs for my style of gauges (picture 1) and an assumed list for the other style (picture 2).


Pic 1
3 x WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb

5 x 74-x Wedge Base LED bulb (2 at the top to light the gauge faces, 1 for the clock, and two for the turn signals, these size bulbs can be used to change pretty much all the lights in your dash)

1 x 74-xHP3 Wedge Base LED bulb (This one I put on the all the way right side in the pic to light up the temp gauge)

Pic 2
6 x WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb

5 x 74-x Wedge Base LED bulb (2 for the gauge faces, 1 for clock, 2 for turn signals)


As for the 2 bulbs that light up the gauge faces, I did the same as Talontsiawd. I wrapped the entire area with aluminum tape, but I left the blue diffuser so as to help balance the gauge faces and the light shinning from behind, without the diffuser it was way too bright.

nice ima ask u for help when i do this. which is gonna be soon. =] PROPS!

I've been asked to bump this for a sticky by members.

Do you guys disconnect the battery when you unplug/work on the cluster?
