Looks good matey but looks like you have a LED bulb in the wrong way at the bottom right hand side as its not lighting up the bottom of the gauge by the 140mph? if you have a look at Lexus 2D's pic you'll see what i mean matey :)

[aaronabbott]

cheers chris ill double check that later,it might have been my camera

[sparkystav]

You wont need the 140mph to be lit up though!!

Unless you come on a Nurburgring trip ;)

the LED bulb just wants turning around matey by the look of it as they only light up 1 way :D

Yeh there like the ones i used matey, if you take the one out and turn it around it should light up, you dont need to take it out of the holder just twist it out and turn it half a turn and put it back in as they only work 1 way round if you know what i mean??

Just waiting on my bulbs, not come this morning but I did only order them yesterday can't expect super quick delivery with everything I suppose, probably won't get a chance to do them until Sunday now anyway. Just wondered though is there anyway of getting the speedo needle to be a bit brighter or is it this dark due to the blue LED's I've order all blue inc: T5's so will this mean all my other needles will be barely visable aswell :)

dont send them back,send us a pic of the white ones fitted i might have them off ya plus i could use them as side lights

[Andy-R]

The ones I was sent are no good for the dash as there the 4LED type so displace the light differently to the single LED so theres bright and dull spots rather than just being all bright (take pics tonight to show you), they would be ideal for sidelights though, if you could sort me out for what I paid for them then I should be able to send them to you rather than back and i'll just re-order the ones I need. Did you know the bulbs in the dash are clear with little orange hats on so if you take the hats off the dash would look whiteish yellow instead of orange ;)

Did get them off e-bay for a decent price and only took 2 days to come :) just a pitty they were the wrong ones :tsktsk:

[Andy-R]

Does look quite nice in white, would be better if the fuel and rev counter had led's behind aswell but at the moment there just hatless oem bulbs which is why they look abit yellow, still think I want blue though, as you can see the 20/80/120mph look slightly duller than the rest because of the 4LED's . Need to do the a/c and blowers blue aswell then it'll match my stereo.

[Andy-R]

Right sent them back and the guys confirmed new ones have been sent out so if there there right ones then will post pic when I get a chance. Quicky (Chris or Stav i'm looking at you here or anyone who knows ) how easy are the a/c, blowers etc to do

Cheers Chris will wait and see what he say's.

[redz_UK]

ac isnt easy.. will take a lot of time, patience and perserverance..

there is a walkthrough that stav sent me (pm your email add and will send) but i opted for a slightly diff approach which i can talk you through..

be prepared its not for the faint hearted!!

Stav (top bloke) will sort us out the answers about the heater controls, just wondered what the T10's are for are they for all the little icons like door open oil light and stuff because you only need 3 501's and 2 T5's (cheers again chris another top bloke) for the speedo etc.
