Wondering if anyones done red climate,bose (all that s**t) with white gauges and red needles. I like the look that the VW's have (w/out the purple). Wondering if anyone has pics and comments? Thanks

 

you act like this is some club lmao I asked a question it was answered then you smart guys come in here and go off in a tandum about dumb stuff. I say get back on topic and more of you come in here... Its pointless to argue with you guys lmao grown *** men in here trying to proove a point over the internet. I just find it amazing that people over the age of 25 still do this stuff get a damn life lol...


Seriously. SE gauges and intelliglow needles/thread

 

Wow that was pointless...if you have nothing important to say then dont say anything...pretty simple

 

What are you talking about?

To the thread starter.... I know somone here has red LED's in their dash. It looks pretty good. Not as good as blue IMHO.

 

blue rules...

 

Caracicatriz any idea who has it or if I can get some pics? I'm still deciding between blue or red. I just thought red would look different.

I searched google really fast and found this. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks a lot Caracicatriz, really helped. As the guy said on there...the pics were tought to judge. But I do think it would look nice. Gaugues will stay white with red needles and most of the dash will be red. Might do some white as well. Anybody know what type of stock bulbs there are in the dash and gauges?

 

The red will shine through the gauges though.

 

there's a different way to do the needles. the gauges won't light up red.

 

yeah, you sand them and put a red LED there. I know the trick, I'm doing it myself.

 

Still need to know what type of bulbs are in the dash, gauges, and doors. Some let me know or point to a thread that explains. Thanks

 

Search function pwns.

Here is one of the write-ups

As for stock bulbs, it should be in your user's manual.

**Edit**I actually just spent about 10min looking for it in the FSM and I can't find it. Its usually easier to find in the chiltons or haynes or you can just go with wariow's write-up

 

Ok thanks slimer. I do have a Haynes so I'll check it out.

 

I've been looking at the threads with LED mods but I dont feel like I know enough to do the same as the threads. I wanted to add stock size LED's because it will be bright enough for me. I don't know if I can get those tho...

 

If you get those, make sure to rub them with fine sand paper to prevent hot spots.

 

I was looking into inverted LED's. No hot spots with them.

 

here is my red interior.. or what i started.. click pic for big pic.. peace

 

yea guy, go blue. Dont mess around

 

I dont want blue. Everyone has blue. I want to try something different and maybe get some more pics out there on the .org of different styles.

 

i jsut finished doing my wholeinterior blue... same as red but yea. i also did the bose HU in blue. a little bit more complicated and i dnt believe its in the faq but i can tell u how if u want a mini write up. i also sanded needles etc etc. IM me if u need some help

 

I have red in my window switches. I like them so much more than blue.

 

goldfish: how hard was turning the bose system color?

Slimer: how hard was changing your switches?

 

I didn't do it. Dave Sz did. Its not too hard, do you have a soldering iron? Its fairly easy if you have good direction.

 

i am intrigued comparo pics would help

 

Yeah I've got a cold heat soldering iron. Dad got it for christmas and I've been dying to use it haha. I havn't found too many good links. The one in the How ToFAQ was pretty good tho. I'm hoping just to replace the stock bulbs in the gauges with LED so I won't have to rewire. But I'm not sure if I can. I'll paint the needles I think as well. I need links for changing the autoclimate tho. I havn't found that anywhere. And hopefully goldfish can give me some info on the Bose system. Of if anyone has more info for changing Bose...let me know!

 

I'm just sanding my needles. I think a "clear" look would be hot.

 

Yeah I'm gonna decide when I get to that step I think. I agree, I think the clear would look hot.
I'm planning on just sanding then painting the needles (top and sides) with translucent paint. Hopefully should give the effect I want for now.
