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!

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.

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!

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
