Okay so I bought a spree complete dash kit, and it finally arrived and I am attempting to install it.

I have got the climate control out, sort of... The two control wires are connected at the rear but not to the car allowing me to slide the unit out.
I can only see one of the light bulbs which I assume is the top row buttons on the unit. I wasn't given any instructions for this kit, despite clearly being told that I was going to.
I also do not know which LED goes where...
Any help would be appreciated frown.gif

Hijacked your thread lol
Power window switch is not that noticeable for me to switch up. Maybe in the future tho.

What type of bulbs did you exactly use on your gauges and is the light evenly spaced out with no low/high spots?

I have used both:

5SMD


4SMD Flat

The flat ones had a dark bit in the top of the cluster.
The 5SMD linked ones are hard to fit properly, and I actually broke one of the clear plastic light guides inside the cluster inserting the LED... I have also had a few LEDs of each die on me... They really do not like any Voltage Fluctuation, so once in, start the car before turning the lights on and turn lights off before turning car off.

If I had to choose, I would say use the 5SMD style (That's what Spree Uses).


Look around and you can get them really cheap; the guy trying to get £52.99 is just ripping people off...
