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.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
