nice pics..im in LI too..help me with my install!! heh

 

Won't NEED to be. All it takes is one smart@$$ cracking some joke about "swallowing" or "..while your mouth's open..."

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).

 

Very nice!! Now u got me thinkin about doin that. The white compared to the stock green is soo much better. Props man!

 

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 compliment you. I wish I had your determination to do what youve done. Regaurdless of wether or not its needed, I like it

 

nice retrofit!

 

Like I said. You're doing this for me. I'll detail your car in return.

 

Hmmm you know how to use a buffing machine my car needs to be proffessionally machine buffed to take all the swirl marks out if you do you got yourself a deal

 

Great write up, the pics are good and will help when I do my orange window switches.

Just need to sit down with a solder gun and get take everything apart and solder.

 

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.

 

Thank You Sir!

 

NO prob

 

JetBlackMax83.....you did a wonderful job! I give you so much props for taking all those pictures....n re-sizing them and uploading them....its a very time consuming job, I know for myself....

MAD PROPS!

 

Bought my 50 White 3mm 5000mcd from Cwithk off ebay for 10 bucks even shipped directly from a high qaulity led manufactor in hong kong they took about a week and a half to get from honk kong to where I live in New York price may vary depending on color and level off mcd and size

 

Thanks alot man Jesse and me had alotta fun to best weekend in a while

 

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.

- Jason

 

Go to the store buy a maroon red see threw foil plastic pop clock out put it over it same for cd player easy as that good luck

 

thanks but a friend of mine wanted to do orange.
Do you know what colors to use to get an orange result?

- Jason

 

You gotta look up what green and (blank) = Orange call a paint store they should be able to give you the answer

 

um.... i'll clean the engine?? haha.. looks good, I wish i had the time to do this to my car and also the experience.

 

Ill deff take you up on that offer hahahaha my engine is dirty as a mother ***** make it spotless and ill LED you uppp

 

looks good. i did white leds in my car actually irish did but oh well.

 

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

 

No flux no solder vacum thing and a crappy soldering iron ::shrug:: o well got the job done

 

good work.

 

this interior pic looks amazing

did you do led needles or what

props tho nice and clean kinda makes me wish i did white

 

Nope Just LED Key ring and switchs in jesse's 5th gen

 

Nice post. I have read it last week and did mine over the weekend. I'm revamping my max and will update my cardomain when I finish. Thanks

 

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.

 

that would be such a ***** but it just might be worth it

 

Nope thoughs are his stock 5th gen gauges

when is dougleston?

 

dam nice work

 

Awesome job

Your working space so resembles mine.. haha

 

On top of a dell laptop is an ideal work bench HAHAHA

 

I stepped on a solding iron with my bare foot once.

Nice color choice for the leds.

 

haha yea I have soldering iron war injurys to I was hold the led and instead of taking the chance of droping the led and loosing it on the floor I now have a nice big water blister O and last night I did the cd head unit display didnt take any pictures of me doing it but I you guys wanna see Ill run out tonight and take a few snap shots of it IMO came out better then anything else on the dash

 

Yea I thought white would look the cleanest I love um

Thanks for the compliments guys

 

is that the step light? it's kinda hard to tell in the pic, but can you explain how that's wired up? in the pic it looks like the two led's are connected, but i know that can't be...

thanks.
