Post LED clusters and climate controls.

[Fletch124]

Im really thinking of doing the "LED" conversion on the cluster and the LED climate control. I found the write up for the cluster. But I cant find the write up for the climate control. Could some one please post the climate control write up?

Post your "LED" clusters and LED climate controls!!!

There are tons of threads about chaning the LED's in the climate control on here and on SF.

It is rather simple, pull the unit apart and then you have to change the LEDs on two circuit cards by desoldering and soldering in new ones. One board is the buttons, the other is for the indicator lights above the buttons. Some people recomend to change the resistor values but you don't have to, even for most blue LEDs. There are also replacement 7 segment displays for the temperature read out.

Again there are several threads that go into more detail with pictures and part numbers for the LEDs and displays, try changing you search query.

I did blue buttons with red indicator lights and I have not changed the temp display. The blue is pretty bright and may be distracting at night for some people. Mine is relocated into the center console so that is not an issue for me.

Borhor that looks pretty good!

I still cant find the guide for the climate control. I tried a bunch of different search terms.

 

[blackout_89t]

I don't know if there is a guide per-say, but there are numerous threads with various information about how to do it. A propper guide should be written but for now you can gather info from the different threads to figure it out.

Here are a few threads to read through, lots of information on the gauge cluster and climate control.

Hey Borhor...send a pm telling me how much you charge...

*ting*

 

[BorHor]

I dunno what I want to charge.. Everyone flaked on me so w.e If you want one done PM me with the price you want to pay for everything and I'll see if I want to do it. Maybe I'll get a good round price for everyone that way

has anybody tried this on the digidash? Can it be done?

has anybody tried this on the digidash? Can it be done?

No, it cannot. The digidash lighting isn't done with bulbs. Except for a very few bits, anyway, like the turn signals.

 

[SlimLim]

yeh had a feeling it was. I just havent disassembled one before.

Blue

I like that blue. One question though, how hard is it to see your gauge needles at night?

 

[SupraN/Asty]

Love the Blue that BorHor has done.

 

[uglymk3]

Man that looks pretty darn good....

 

[cool chuck]

Love the Blue that BorHor has done.

Me too. That is definitely going on my to do list.

hey what kind of LEDs are you supposed to use? I'm interested in doing this but I want to know the exact size and specs of the LEDs and places where I can get them.

 

[Dan_Gyoba]

The pictures look like pretty standard 5mm LEDs.

The problem (As I see it) with blue is that blue is about the worst on night vision. It looks sexy, but isn't practical.

Still, because it looks good, that's the way that my stereo is done, too, so that makes for a confincing argument to go that way for my instrumentation. Hmmm... Though I think the buttons on my stereo are red, and the text is blue...

 

[gsmokez]

yeah I want it because I like how blue looks more than other colours but I remember reading somewhere that you needed T1 3mm LEDs or something like that but I wanted to be sure before I do something like this.

Man, am I the only one that loves the green?

Replaced all the dash lights with green LEDs I *love* it!
