Hey guys, im looking to swap my interior lights with all red LED's in my 96 Eclipse. Can i get some direction/specs as to what kind of LED/bulbs i need to do the swap? Im talking ALL lighting in the car, including possibly cluster lights etc. Any help is appreciated :thumb:

11 total LED's needed (74-xHP3 Wedge Base LED bulb)
Includes:
Cluster (7)
HVAC (1)
Lighter (1)
Ashtray (1)
Ignition (1)
Spare (1) - optional

Switches- 6 total LED's needed (NeoWedge 3mm Instrument LED bulb) neo3-x
Includes:
Cruise Control (1)
Fog Lights (1)
Mirror Control (1)
Hazards (1) -optional
Defroster (1)
Wiper (1)
AC (1)
Spare (1) -optional


It's not too difficult, just take your time taking the switches apart. I did this in my car with red LEDS and I love it.
 
My brother who owned my Talon before me did this with blue LEDs and it looks truly amazing. It took him hundreds of hours though, and several trips to the junkyards for spare parts. Good luck to you, and be sure to take pictures.
 
Oh! (apologies in advance for double post) Is there any way to flat REPLACE my gauge cluster with a custom one?

*EDIT*

And what are the floor illumination lights?

Floor illumination lights are the ones by your feet (lower kick panel) that turn on when the door is ajar.

Gauge cluster: What do you mean replace?
Make a custom one? Or buy a custom one?

Make a custom one (can be adapted to dsm):

ROFL, I'm sure it didn't take that long. Check the thread I linked above. Seems relatively painless with the exception of the HVAC.
 
Update. got the LEDs in XD
