how did you get the blue lights man

 

[Laser-man]

Radio Shack
330-ohm resistors... Part #: 271-1113
5mm Blue LED 2600mcd... Part #: 276-316

those are the supplies, and all you have to do it take every switch apart and the hvac apart, i would not recomend doing it if you are not good at taking things apart and puting them back together though.

Its kinda hard to tell from that pic, do the leds look bright enough or would you want them brighter?

Next, your goina take that cluster out and put Blue LEDs in there so you'll match right?

 

[Laser-man]

they look really bright alot brighter than stock lights, i would just add another to the hvac to make it brighter, i was not to pleased with the lighting that it had, but other than that it looks reall bright. you cant see in the picture, but i also changed the igniton switch to blue.

no actualy i am not going to do anything elce to that car, i am going to sell it, and get a 1g gsx. i am tired of being slow.

I like my stock lights just fine. Thats why i bought gauges to match the stock lights. Only blue in my car is the AFC and the Type 1 TT.

I don't know why but I was thinking of using ultra-bright led flare lights in the dash and hooking them up to a dial, that way they would be normal most of the time but.. say when you arm your alarm, the dash would flash the bright lights. I know I sounds dumb but I just like cool alarm effects.

I'm right now looking around for the bulbs for these damn switches because I went to the dealership and they told me I have to buy the whole friggin switch to swap the light out!!

 

[Laser-man]

that is the main reason i switched the lights was b/c alot of them were burnt out, so i just got the led's and resistors and hooked them up. you have to sauder(sp) some of them but its not to hard. if anyone wants details just pm me. later

i changed mine to blue to match my gauges

i personally think it looks kinda odd w/ half orange half blue... so i did all blue

With an second gen Apexi S-AFC you dont have a choice the main display is blue but the 4 buttons are a stock looking orange. so it matches well with my Blue gauages, blue HVAC, but yellow defrost and A/C buttons =)

I lack a cam or I'd snap a pic or two

If you want to make your lights in your guage clust blue would you use the same blue LEDS or would you need them to be brighter?

 

[Laser-man]

you need new gauge faces.
