This is a great arrangement of resistor onto the housings! And if you want to go back to lilliput, you havent damaged

the housings in any way...

Btw, you can use 5mm leds even in the smaller T3 enclosures...the reason they dont drop down enough is because

there is a ridge/lip on the LED...if you can get access to a lathe, you can machine down the led bases (just shy of

the junction) to a single diameter to suit. They press in nicely into the T3 housings and sit a mm shorter than the

original lilliput bulbs!

Ive attached a shot of the modified 5mm LED and an unmodified one. My climate control looks awesome with

a white background!

The LED look like the Neo Wedge LEDs and you can buy them on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2pcs-T3-T4-T5-Neo-W...=item2ead1eb9f4

Depend which what size.

At the time of writing, there was really nothing available as a drop-in replacement.

That being said, the LED's in the auction look to be ideal... they have a flat top for better dispersement of light.

The last and largest of those three (12mm) looks identical to the stock holders that you pull out.

FYI to everyone else: my A/C LED's are still working perfectly! =-D

just did the original method of this, except with a 40000k white LED, same resistor though 120OHM, worked a treat :) only it looks a little yellower than i was hoping, doesnt really match the LEDs in my cluster :/

I dont know much about these resistors etc but is there some sort of LED on ebay that does not require that resistor?? really want to just have something that goes straight in without playing with resistors etc as i dont kno anything about them could someone help me out with either a link for the globes or another alternative eliminating these resistors

Cheers

From the description here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-Neo-Wedge-LED-Bulbs-T3-T4-T5-White-Blue-Red-Green-/110460423099?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19b7f44bbb#ht_5174wt_689 I would say no, they are a drop in replacement ready to go.

I can see a weekend of blown globe replacement and tacho fixing soon :)

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.

      I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
