Default cluster lights

Well i ordered some lights for my cluster off super bright led i got the red high power lights. Took for ever to get the gauge lights to work and there are a lot of hot spots the climate controls don't light up bright at all and the over head wouldn't work for me then i ended up shorting it out so gotta get a new one but for the most part i like it

Well here are the pics for my dash. Sorry they were taken with my cell phone and as you can see the climate controls do not light up well at all. i didn't do the stereo cause i want to go aftermarket. and as for the green display on the cluster and over head unit i will try find a red tint to cover it and hopefully it will shine through it red not purple.

That looks awesome. I was told that red bulbs wouldn't work because of the blueish tint behind the gauges, but that looks really good. I'm thinkin' im gonna pull the trigger on this one.

What types of bulb did you use? How many are needed for the whole conversion? I can't wait to do mine in Blue

Looks good, I opted for the blue conversion last year because of the green tint but it looks like so far its working well. Now you have to get the tint for the OHD and odometer. If there is a cure for the hotspots I don't know what it is but you'll get used to it. Roscolux is probably the best tint to get because it will eliminate the blue/green color out of the spectrum and only allow red to show through. I bought a big sheet of blue Roscolux on eBay for like $10.00

Here is a two part series of a guy on YouTube doing the LED conversion for everything, even the headlight switch.
