dash lights conversion project II

[PXLpainter]

That's wild... I'm anxious to start messin' with mine too... maybe this summer.

Only thing that scares me is the Red near the redline... I wont always remember it... So be kind of tricky. Wonder how the Audi's did theirs.

If I recall correctly from my friend's A6, I think the redline lines had a thicker-than-usual line to indicate the start of the redline and the spacing of the lines were closer together from thereon, but he sold it 2 years ago.

**EDIT** I looked on eBay and it's actually a solid line for the redline portion instead of the dotted lines.

Since we're reviving an old post... I recently found these for gauge installation:

I've used autolumination before, they're a good company... if you plan on going with DIY LED install, eBay or http://www.lsdiodes.com/shop/ are good as well (I use LSDiodes for PC mods as well).

Since we're talkin interior lights again...
Brad's looks very similiar to mine, but i just suck at taking pictures in the dark. my most recent addition is the neons behind the center console vents and the LEDs behind the side vents. I also put red condoms over the red bulbs in my cluster so it is a RICH red. I also have red neons under dash but i dont think you can barely see them in my crappy picture:

well ive found the ultimate solution for dash lights that will solve everyones color problems. I just got my 2 new LEDs installed it and lets just say that it is on par if not brighter than the new Accords dash. IT makes my needles look as if I did that light ring mod to it. I snapped pics but still have to get em uploaded and hosted somewhere.

Is it safe to use permanent markers on bulbs? I'm planning on adding a "GS blue" color to the gauges to make it the whitish blue color. Since it's basically white with a tad bit of blue (and rumor has it that blue actually has a greenish hue to it too), what I was thinking was to get a set of hyper white LEDs, add some blue to the back portion of the LED and mix it with a bit of purple to counter-act the green (and if worst comes to worst, I might have to actually make it purple).


The GS

Somewhat what I envisioned (maybe I'll change the needles too?)

I still need to change the bulbs on my radio and AC too. Same bulb as the dash ones right?

[musicskate0]

can anybody explain to me how to get to the bulbs to take the green condom things off?

Start by removing all the screws you can find around the object you're trying to remove. For instance the cluster, remove the upper 2 screws then remove the black piece, then remove the 4 screws around the cluster and pull out from the bottom. Unplug the 3 wire harnesses and the cluster is in your hands.

This is on Ebay right now. This is what I have lighting up my needles. I hope this is a little better the the model I have. Only two of the six lights still work.
