In any case, nice pics (even though a few were blurry - but I can't fault ya since it was oh-dark-thirty and all).

Not bad, but some of those pics were rather worthless, wouldn't you say?

I honestly cant believe some of you guys complaining about pictures it pisses me off rather then another 6'000 Y Pipe thread or exhaust thread or a dumb *** question even blooming idiot could figure out you complain about threads that arent totally worthless to look at ::shakes head::

A.)I took time out to do the Led's which is more then I can say for most of you guys making comments.
B.)I made it entertaining instead of somthing boring that your looking at somthing to laugh at. Even if its me thats getting laughed at .
C.)I spent time, Sorting and resizing the pictures
D.)Over and hour uploading the pictures



And you guys complain I find it amazing absolutely amazing


Thanks to the guys that thought this thread was worth a compliment

I am sorry if this question has been asked before but - Where do you buy these LED's? and how many do I need for a 4th gen?

I also have auto climate but I'm afraid to even touch that.

you can buy leds from ebay do a search for a specifc color or MCD (brightness) 3000 should be good, 3 mm also.

as for how many you'll need for your window switches you'll need a total of about 11 (if I counted right). But if you buy from ebay they come in like bags of 25 for a penny or bag of 50 or 100 for a dollar. so you wont have to worry about not having enough.

A bit off topic here (kind of)

I've been browsing the site, reading how to's, FAQ's, etc... and I cannot seem to find directions on how to change the color of the clock/climate control.
I've seen lots of guys that have different colors & from what I know you can change it by putting different colors of see through foil over the lcd screen?

Can any of you guys give me a link if you know where the how to info is to doing the color change?

I appreciate it.

Nice but that is some of the worst looking soldering I've ever seen. Use the desk not your lap.

Did you also do his gauges?

As far as buffing, I don't have a machine. But my hands should be just fine. :P I'll see you at Douglaston and we'll talk about it there.
