R33 Gtst Dash Lights

[dtrants]

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum, just changed my dash lights from the factory white (mine was faded and yellowish looking) to blue LED. Looks kind of purple and faded/blurry in areas in photos (not great photos from my phone) but looks great in person. I attached the before and after photos as well as the LED's i used. Used this multi faced LED to try and spread the lighting out more. Well worth the time and money (only took 2hr and $10 for me as newbie) for the change!

Looks much better. Did you get the LED's from eBay?

Thanks mate! Looks great in person. Got the LED's from eBay. These are the ones i bought.

Thanks for the reply. Was it a cluster-out job?

[dtrants]

Yeah it was. Found a good guide (can't seem to find the link) online and followed it. Took a while to do because it was my first time and had to work out where everything was, but definitely not a difficult job to do. Well worth it.

good job man! I have Red in mine, one day I might get around to doing the lights in the ac unit so they match.

Any future things you do consider making a DIY with pics as you go =)

I got the exact same coloured LED's for my dash and gauges.

However, I would leave the dome light LED yellow white and also the same with the centre console. If you want readability and visibility then stay with yellow white but the dash is fine with Blue and it actually looks much better IMO.

Cheers

Skylab: thanks mate! I was trying to choose between red and blue, both would look better than the factory colour! I cleaned my AAC valve the other day and thought I should start doing DIY tutorials with it, I'll be sure to do it for now on!

Robocop2310: totally agree with leaving the interiors. The guy who had the car before me put red LED in it, totally useless!

Thanks for the replies guys!
