I've gotten a few PMs about these LEDs
I just put them in a few days ago and they are the brightest LEDs for the cluster I've ever seen. They are a little too bright for me and not blue enough. They look great in the pics but they are more towards an aqua blue than a true blue, but maybe I'm just too picky. anyway, pics this is how I bright I usually have them (dimmer setting) this is the dimmer lowest this is the dimmer highest and the entire blue set up at usual dimmer brightness setting overall, they are great. I've had no LEDs that light the cluster as perfectly as these do. With the cluster at the brightness I like it my CC unit doesn't seem bright enough so I have to have the cluster a bit brighter than I would like, but once again, I'm probably just too picky. Do I like them ? YES. Would I get them now knowing what I now know about them ? YES. also, I got these from V-LEDS (velocity) and they are the best IMO. I've gotten cheaper LEDs from other sellers and they've all sucked (either not lasted or not lighted up all the single LEDs in the bulb). V-LEDS FTW. overall (now stop PMing me about these) -------------------- |

Those look pretty good actually. I think they'd match my climate control a little better than the refractors I have in the gauge cluster now. Thanks for the info.

I got the same ones in white, and I really like the bulbs too. I've had them about 2 months now, no problems whatsoever so far. Just gotta figure out how to eliminate the greenish tone on the dial... I HATE that the numbers aren't a crisp bright white!

just had a quick question about gauges, i messed my gas gauge up when i put glow gauges in and accidentaly broke the needle. anyways i was gonna buy another cluster from someone on here but they are from the states and their gauge counts in miles not km. So what i wanna know is is it the counter itself thats preset to count in miles or the computer part behind it that tells it. Also can i change the odometer of that one to match mine or does it just seize when you try to tamper with it? sorry for all the questions, thanks for any help/
