5th Gen dash LED Upgrade Interest

Hey fellas,

I got 2 things (1) How many of you are interested in having the dashes - shifter - door Led's etc etc.... changed to blue or other colors and (2) If there is interest is anyone in or around my area that wants it done for cost so I can post pics for the rest of the 5 gener's... Thanks guys and heres a 6th gen I just did so you can see

Been there, done that. Originally had blue, then changed to red (dash, audio, climate control, window switches, shifter illumination light.....so have many others. I prefer the red to the blue...classier looking and not as hard on the eyes at night...

That said, best of luck to you, as there are alot of people who probably want this done but are not the DIY-type and would rather have someone else do them for them...

My Bad fellas --- I'm sorry ---- I assumed the 5 gener's used surface mount technology not bulbs......

Igor911 ---- Yes it can be done...we'd have to manufacture a relay or some other device to do it...get enough people interested and I'd be happy to develop the product......

Max ---- you can't be that lazy ...lol...I just read the how to on it -----its only 4 plugin bulbs and a couple screws.... looks like it would take 15-20 minutes to do......I don't even think I could charge for something like that without feeling like I justed committted a crime....

Sure. Similar to how you see the ones in blue and red above, you can also do it in, well...whatever color you want, so long as they make LEDs of that color.

That hot, i wouldn't mind getting it done. I'm in the providence area. I would prolly have someone do it for me, not so much because i'm lazy but because if something goes wrong i can blame someone other than myself...

Actually, you can do it ANY color you want by using transparencies and/or rubber boots...

I would love to do the blue lights in my dash and doors etc. because I have a blue panasonic cd player and majestic blue max. Is it just as simple as changing bulbs because I would like to do that on my own if so what size are they and where can I get them?

when you mean "the thing is I do direct replacement of the surface mount LED's to the oem boards....not soldering colored bulbs to led contacts or bulb replacement...."

do you just pluck out the leds and put in new ones? Im pretty sure there was soldering to be done right?

well im interested in this and im located in boston, ma.

there are plenty of write ups available. I used a combination of a few and some quick help from Metal Maxima for the vents.
