Default Woohoo! Blue dash done, sweet! *pic*



Just thought I'd share. It's so refreshing to go from ugly green to beautiful blue...easier on the eyes too, and just as easy to read all the gauges

My camera sucks, gonna borrow a friend's this weekend hopefully and get some better pictures...

You need the 194 Wide angle LED's...scroll down a bit, you should see them!

The only gripe I have, if you look closely, is that there are some spots that aren't lit as well as others. I wish there were some way to spread them out a bit more...but still, they look really sweet nonetheless, so I can't complain

Yeah, my camera made it look slightly brighter than it really is, but it still looks really good in person!

Oh, and the RPM sweep range is gone because I need a dual LED with blue/red from autolumination...ordered one already, should fix that

And it isnt tough at ALL! All you need to do is remove the fuse cover on the driver's side door, remove the screw, then the screw on the passenger side of the dash, unclip the apillars by pulling on them, then unscrew the two screws in the defroster part of the dash under the windshield, lift the dash up and unscrew the gauge box (all the gauges are contained in a single box that plugs into the car), remove it and take the LED's out of the back. Repeat to reinstall...took me 30 minutes and I'm a total noob!

And yes, the dimmer still works

Its funny to watch new people do old mods and be excited about it.

I am being serious too. It looks awesome. Glad you are excited about your car.
Keep up the good work.

For all the noobs, here is a pretty good how-to for a mod that's an oldie but a goodie..

I'll be doing that myself probably this weekend or next to go with my gauges..
Couple pics of my Gauge Pod

lol, thanks Sorry, it's just that you get that warm fuzzy feeling all over when you do an install/mod yourself, no matter how simple/easy, it's just a good feeling of accomplishment when you put all your work into your own car, rather than having someone else do the install for you
