Changed My 33 Climate Control Lights To Blue(pics)

I would consider doing all this if there was a way we show the whole legnth of the needles. Anyone actually get everything perfect? As in equal light spread and no dark spots on the needle?

[dezz]

I can see the needles fine when driving at night. the photos make it look worse...

If you do this and can't see what speed/revs your doing, then you probably shouldn't be driving anyway

[krzysiu]

lol dezz, why have any backlight in the first place then lol.

Wouldnt reverse EL Dials suit your gauges more + Be brighter and you would be able to see everything?

[dezz]

yeah they'd be good..maybe i could snap my needles while installing them..

and if not, watching the RPM needle get stuck at 4-5000rpm will be cool

+ i dont really want the white faced dials during the day. this "mod" is way cheaper, and does the job perfectly fine for me

yeah the needles look ok...only the stock boost area under the tacho might look a little dull - but thats compared to the rest. U can see everything fine.

i chagned the globes this week but i replaced them wtih normal wedge type globes rather than LEDs...

i used some that i got from eBay.. paid $35 for 6 glboes including delivery

they are xenon+hallogen filled and blue tinted, similar to what you would upgrade to with a headlight

so the results is much brighter and whiter light

but it has a tinge of blue in it too...

and i used the last globe (i bought 6 and it requires 5) to change the backlight for the auto trans gear shifter.. from a green to a blue also..

definately brighter and worth the cash!

[khunjeng]

intresting...any pics? would be good to see the difference.

[Guest IH8VEE8S]

where do you get these lights/LEDs from?

i tried autobarn, repco and supercheap auto today and none of em had any

[dezz]

I got my normal 1's from autobarn, and so did justin...

Then we got these new ones from the USA

[Guest IH8VEE8S]

hmmm they said they didn't have any

i'll try autobarn epping tomorrow

[dezz]

they're usually behind the counter...they're just parker style LED's...

[Guest IH8VEE8S]

i asked em about the climate control bit.......

i took out one and showed em and yeah they said they didn't have it

[dezz]

those are different, I though you meant the dash cluster...

the ones for the climate control I think you need to get at like dick smith etc...and you need resistors as well

[Guest IH8VEE8S]

ooohhhhh ofcourse....dick smith. duuh why didn't i think of that

thanks man

Hi Guys!

I got 10 of these LED bulbs. They are brand new never installed. Blue in colour.

I no longer require these. PM me if you are interested. I'm sure we can work something out.

Just wondering if anyone has any any success changing the light colour of the cigarette lighter?

I pulled the bulb out but it seems to be moulded into the plastic which has a unique connector. It looks impossible to put a LED + resistor into the plastics.

Any ideas?
