Not sure if this should go in the classifieds but...

Looking for someone to LED my 99 speedometer.

Here is how it looks right now:



Here is what I want:



Basically...I want 5 blue LED's (3000mcd perhaps?) where the bulbs typically go and then 4 red LED's (same mcd) where the needles are. I don't want the needles cleared out though.

Here is a good writeup: link

I just don't feel comfortable soldering in limited space. I can solder two wires together on a bench, but not in a tight space such as behind a cluster.

Let me know if you are interested. I'll have to buy a spare speedometer temporarily and I'm willing to ship mine to you.

Your price should include labor + parts + shipping/insurance.

 

I think kzoosho does work like that. Also, you could try blackonblack98?

 

Sent you a pm man about this and the spare bezel.

 

Yeah I know they do LED work (I'm having black do my switches and climate control and kzoosho do my tails and projectors most likely) but I didn't know if they wanted to do something like a speedo since it's kind of sensitive from what I understand.

But since I'm buying a bezel from Kyle most likely, I'll just have him do it and save on shipping lol.

Thanks.

let me know how you feel about quality of bonb98s' work. I am looking to get my window switches done as well as my auto climate control. Maybe my cluster as well. Depends on a few thing....
But yeah... definatley my window switches.

 

I had the switches from him before....sold them cause I thought I was selling the car...and since I'm not I want another set.

The guy does great work. I also have defroster, hazard, and dimmer buttons done by him. Definitely good work.

 

lol i like the milage in the 1st picture.
crap...i want to do this too.

 

Yep that was like 3 days after getting the car.

I got it in Nov. 2006 with 26,004 on the clock. I just hit 76,000 today.

 

lol thats low...i just hit 110k 3 days ago....sux big time

 

damn man youve had the maxima for a while or youve been driving a whole lot...keep up the good work man

 

I do about 30k a year lol.

I go all over NY, MA, and PA regularly and this car has been to NC, VA, and FL.

 

Ilya, I did my dash in about 15 minutes man,
Its really easy for us 99 guys!!!

As for the red needles, you would sand them, and put a red l.e.d behind it...(i didnt do it)

Also if you go with white, the needles stay red, and the guages have a blue film behind them
so they appear somewhat blueish....

my pix suck..but here is what mine looks like....

 

Did you solder them in or are those just LED bulbs?

I think he wants someone to solder in LEDs, as the bulbs really suck and burn out easily.

 

Plus the bulbs will not take care of the needles.

I've had blue LED bulbs. They look nice, but my needles are barely visible at night. The edited pic above with the blue dash is my speedometer. Both those pics are of my car.

 

ohh, i see... I've had my blue leds in there for a year and a half? they still work great....i see what your trying to do tho, you want to put a bunch of l.e.d's behind it? Goodluck and tell me the outcome, maybe ill do it too, I wanted to see what you did with your dash and buttons tho? Pm me a pic if you can,,,

 

Well right now it's all stock...but back when I had the car modded (I demodded it only to decide I was keeping the car lol)...it looked like this:



I had all my LED stuff from BlackOnBlack98.

 

how much was it all? and did yyou send him your parts and he just sent u a ready piece or he modded yours? cause mine is digital.....my climate control...

ill check back in a day or two man, doing my De-k swap today and wont be online....

 

He can do auto climate controls much better than manual. He actually refuses to work on manual climates.

I think I spent like $80. I sent him my switches and he sent his to me that were already done.
