I NEED THOSE

hey where did you buy tha blues? and how was the install?

that looks really sweet. you get to tell me how you did that. i could do that will a 1G right

DAMN that is sweet. Hey where did you get the blue lights for the console.

i'll give you guys my secret... but it does take alot of time...

first the switches: i took out each switch (rear wiper, defrost ect..), took the switches apart and soldered new LED's in each switch. removing the old bulbs and using the contacts where the bulb did... there is very little clearence in some switches... Dont BOTHER WITH the A/C button... there is NO Room in there... i broke mine and had to go find a new one..

HVAC: there is only one bulb in the HVAC, i put one blue LED in there, and i was not happy with the brightness... so i drilled 2 more holes behind the temp control and the vent selector... THIS IS A PAIN CAUSE YOU CANT TAKE THE HVAC OUT! i used a dremel with a right angle head... just find a illuminaton lead off the wire harness and run your own wires for this one...

The Parts: Radio Shack LED's and Resistors... i'll post the stock numbers tomorrow so you guys get the right ones.... estimated cost of goods under $30

Hints.... I shaved the round top of the leds halfway down for two reasons... to make the light spread more evenly and so i could get them further in the holes.... and you might also have to shave them around so they fit good... and a lil hot glue to make sure they dont move and boom your done..........

i dont know if this is clear.... but when you take out your first switch you'll understand.... the rear wiper one was pretty easy....

good luck.... and im not responsible for what you blow up!!!! =)

Jaybone...the interior looks great ! Sned out a list of those part numbers please

rice... I mean nice
I had two of those little lights go out(1. behind haxard switch, 2. behind rear wiper switch. )I couldn't find bulbs anywhere(that just switched out)
The factory wanted to sell me new switches... HAHAHAHAHAHA
I did the same, went to the shack, got replacements and soldered them in! I didn't change colors, cool man.

thanks.... i like to be a little different.. Everyone has the blue gauges...

blue looks nice, i did green to match my greddy gauges..

Click to expand...

yea, i did that in my 1g



i still have to go back and fix the rear wiper switch that i missed. i think it was only like 2 leds, then the one in the boost gauge. i love it though, very subtle, unless you know the car

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

the more the mcd the better, thats the brightness....

That really looks nice man!!!

i saw on ebay...they sell a kit..but im not sure if its worth the money...might as well do it myself...

Very nice. I love the blue interior stuff. The HVAC looks like a little too much work for me. But I will do the gauges and the needle kit when I stop spending money to go fast.

Later,

This may sound dumb...but humor me

The resistors just go inline on the power wire right???...or am I completely out to lunch?

Thanks

yeah on the power side (longer leg) of the led

I will just stick with my orange lights. Too much work for me!!!

hey bostineklipz dont you sell those on your website...www.2muchboost.com????

oh yeah the lighting looks good too

yes i do
