The thing I don't like about them (i'm not knocking you, because i've done the same thing in my car), is that:

firstly, the leds are directional. There are cold spots with less light.

secondly, they're dimmer than the stock bulbs.

thirdly, the blue doens't light up the needle.

I've currently got the wide angle leds in my cluster, but they have all the problems i've said. I'm gonna be making my own to solve the problem.

Yeah i think your right.

I like my stock white against the black with a red arrow effect...

Yeah that's why you have to face them downwards or to the rear like I did, the cold spots aren't preceivable with the naked eye, the camera can pick them up though.

With the triple gauge you have to aim the LED to the centre of the needle.

I bought 13000mcd LEDs, they're bright enough :yes:

How did you make the symbols on the climate control light up? did you cut out the pictures?

My 34 had those symbols just painted on.

Was a c**t at night time.

Dude, your lights were blown, they look painted but aren't :yes:

Wow, Very very schmik

I'd like to do have those on my climate control unit.

Any chance of a DIY thread?

there's a DIY thread for changing the R33 climate control to blue LED's....I don't think the R34 would be much different...

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
