Dash, just change out your bulbs with some leds...... there are write ups on all of the things you are asking on how to do..... for your cc, there is a guy that you can send it to and he will change stuff out for ya(check buy/sell section i believe)..... and with the clock, there are many ways to do this, some are better than others, but look around and search a bit and you'll find TONS of info on diff ways to do these projects pretty cheaply and on your own

Check this http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=56078 Ive just done my ignitions ring and cigarette ring, now im on the CC and electric window led! Remember if replacing a bulb with an led, you must instal a resistor on the positive side first. Also ensure your led's are 12v!

However by installing a resistor you can have a 14v current go into a 3v led making it a 12v led. -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom.

The thing is i dont quite understand how the voltage and resistors work. and are the leds just plugged in? ive read a bunch of threads and i cant quite understand it.

Culpable04's 194's for the gauge cluster are [Panda knows this as he has them too]
Hit him up for the 3 red LEDs you need for there. he can explain it better than me.

I soldered the leds to my board... If you read what i posted, there is a website that also sells leds like this,,,  which directly plug in, however never used them, since i decided to solder mine.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
