and well.... not to bad... but like i said... it will look SO MUCH BETER after i get two 4.5inch versions in blue and another in white... that way i can seperate the temp colors so they look true....
but definatly ALOT brighter than the two tiny bulbs that used to be thier
and since i soldered the leds to the board the stock dimmer still works

id still like to try some prewired superflux leds with the stock clear directional thing still thier.... maybe that is.... if your cheap and dont care about the temp display colors being right just remove the bulbs and solder and hot glue the bulb lights into the two holes

Addiction those seem a little dull^ isnt there supposed to be a light behind the Hazards switch and on each of the three *****? Still looks sick as hell man

Wanna give me a quick run down as to how to remove your dash and get in there to do the Climate Control LEDs like u did?I can remove the driverside dash but i'm not really sure hwo to get into the center console.

not sure what ya mean to remove the dash... you mean the radio trim? and the cluster?

the cluster just comes out by removing the 2 philips screws from around the bezel on the cluster and 4 bolts on the cluster itself are clearly visable once ya remove that cluster trim piece...

and to remove the radio bezel... remove the lower drivers side panel under the colum.... then flip down the glove box.... just open it up and bend the back sides of the glove box inwards so the little plastic/metal tabs will clear the dash and the glove box will fold all the way down to the floor.... then remove the cigerate lighter trim panel 3 screws one and two are on the top corners, and the third is next to the lower glove box hinge, the drivers lower side is removed when ya remove the drivers trim... just remember that when reinstaling it!... and remove the lighter plug harness from behind the lighter... then thiers 4 bolts going preaty much straight up behind thier which hold the radio bezel in.....
remove those 4 bolts and to make it easier to remove look for the AC wires near the back left side... thiers a plastic retainer clip that holds the wires securely to the car.... i cut mine so that the radio bezel would come out further to make it easier to unplug all those harnesses and plug them back in ALOT EASIER!

then the AC controls just come off by removing 3 philips screws from the back of the bezel and just pops out... then you can get to the radio mounting screws if your swapen the radio as well

and no, i didnt mean the cluster. Ive installed reverse glow gauges, an aftermarket tach, a shift light and soon to be a triple pillar pod.I'm very comfortable with working back in there i was talking more about the radio trim (like you described)
