Hi all,i just wanted to ask if someone got the LEDs for the cluster of ebay and has anyone had any problems with them? When i installed LEDs it was bright as but after about a week it lost the brightenes and the the numbers werent all the same so i pulled them out and checked one by one and they all were fked :/ each bulb had few LEDs completly gone and some had few good bright and few not as bright.. And i checked my cars voltage it was 14.25 so i dont think that is what cause them to die..

A lot of the bulbs on ebay aren't rated to 14v...they're 12v max which is pointless, they need to be 16v min rated.

This guy claims bulbs are 14-16v and that alternator or regulator might be faulty but i also got my park lights converted to LEDs and they are still fine but i got them at autobarn..

just got around to puttin green in my dash , cigarette lighter and power window

just wonderin if anyones got any secrets to getting the needles in the cluster to be nice and bright red,

they are still a little red but a bit patchy :s

Unfortunately being complementary colours, RED never lights up super well with GREEN, you'll find ater a while you'll get used to it. The needles can be lit up, but with a lot of work involved

They 'barn ones with eventually die also from what I've seen, they don't even come close to our "special brew" version and yet they were quite adament that my prices to supply were too high, they weren't happy with only 300% markup when they could get a 1000% and rely on people losing receipts or being too complacent about complaining.

Ok do can any one tell me what size led I will need to do my power window button?? Also what I could also use for a blue cover for the A/C screen and clock??

I also would like to know this.

I got an LED kit for my instrument cluster. I put the LED illuminating the fuel gauge in the wrong way and I'm not bothered to fix it, but other than that I'm really impressed with how it looks.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
