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

Renta/Rusty, what luminous flux are your LED bulbs? And are you happy with the how bright it is under the specific knob they are under(direct, not dispersed light)?
I am looking at different ones and they start from 8 and go to 50lm, wondering which will suffice.

Edit : also, which T5 bulb type did you choose, single LED, single SMD LED, multiple SMD, etc?

For the AC unit I used the single SMD LED type, which is what Spree sent me...


In my guage I originally I used the Dome type single LED bulb... But they quickly burnt out and started flickering... I have no idea on their luminous flux though...

I went back to incandescent bulbs for the majority of gauge since they failed, but in my turn indicator lights I have 3LED split type bulbs which are pink, the pink and green together make a blue for the turn signals.
