Would this fit in place of the bulbs for the gauges?...and are the climate control lights the same size. I searched for it but i didnt see anyone with this same led. Im trying to change all the lights blue to match my car. Thanks alot.

[illneversellmyce...]

yes those will fit the guage cluster and you will need three of them, they are the ones i have.

for the climate controls that a whole differnet monster. i also used those 194 (3) for backlighting. but for each button you will need a button to light the indicators and backlight the lil pictures. i forget the sizes but they are smaller leds, and i got those ones from superbrightleds.com. Also the smaller led's will need a resistor added to them, cuz they arent built in. contact zimullara he has an excellent how to...and i know i didin spell his screen name right

I wouldn't use those particular ones because all the bulbs are forward focused. You want something that has a wide arc of light to light the whole cluster. You put those in you'll most likely end up with patches of bright and patches of dark.

Very true what Panda said - it looks really bad too.
Why would you go anywhere other than here for those bulbs tho? One of our very own is selling the 5 way LEDs for a way better price. Hit up Culpable04 for pricing and he'll get you hooked up.

What he said. I'm using the one's culp sold me and they look bootiful.

Edit: Not to ignore you batman, those leds do look very nice. But culp is one of ours and he is selling them cheaper. Although the one's on v-leds look like they'd go in the hole w/o as much finagling.

No, not yet. Just look at batman's profile and you'll get the basic idea. I'm waiting to take any interior photos because I'm planning something different for my interior panels. I was gonna just paint em solid blue but I had an idea last night and I'm researching right now what I'll need to pull it off. If I do it's gonna look sick. If I don't I'll just chalk it up to another one of life's little failures.

i just bought 4 blue led's from Culpable04 , thanks for the heads up.. Did any of you guys have trouble installing them or is it really plug and play?

[thespacepanda]

Plug and play. It's literally 8 screws and just squeezing your hand behind the cluster. I have very big hands and I could still do it. Just get a light in there to see where the 3 are, they're the biggest twisty pieces on the back.

LOL Or you could just disconnect the 3 connectors and take the cluster in your living room and be comfortable. I've literally done this 25x due to the colored bulbs fading in 1 week and all the ones I've done for friends cars.
Did a AE92 Rolla in alternating pink and purple for a friend of mine once - looked pretty sweet for a girls car.
It's easy. I hear these bulbs are a little big and have to be put in sideways but that's no big deal at all.
