Changed My 33 Climate Control Lights To Blue(pics)


Recommended Posts

5

they're really not that much more expensive than the ones you buy at autobarn...$14 for 2...so $7 each or $10 for 1... not much difference :D

yeah ur right...just bought 5 x white and 5 x blue for both cars...should be fine. My issue is the directional light from the LEDS...this should help even it out..

nice...I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. looks like it will be good.

and a picture of mine using normal style led's...note the brighter spots...the bits that look dull are pretty much as bright as a normal cluster, they just look duller because of the brighter spots...

i need some1 to help me with this ;)

Its VERY easy to do mate.

take out the cluster, flip it round, take out the 5 stock lights and plug in some parker style LED's

put it back in and you're done :)

wowo good results with the new style leds. The other pics resemble efforts I have done before and I just went back to globes cos it pissed me off too much. Should get mine this week and I will take a pic. I got white and blue...blue for the line and white for the FTO as I have blue/red dials...will look awsome.

Changed mine from regular LED's to the ones from America today...no bright/dull spots. completely even across the cluster.

Only downside to them is they are a Slightly lighter blue to the ones I had in there, which matched my gauges/headunit perfectly...but the new ones aren't far off :D

Photos: These are the American LED's

Nice even spread. :)

compared to the old normal LED's in the same dash...

and here's the new ones showing the slight color difference to my gauges

Not very noticeable :D

nice1 dezz...yeah I took a pic and mine look they same as yours but in real life I rekcon they looks better.

At least ur guages are blue...mine matched the stock lighting color...so i have to change them now :D

pretty sure its not the LED's kon. mine were like $14 for 2 (so hardly cheaper than yours)...

its the layout of the light spreading plastic on the back of the cluster

so it was the low quality LED's u had in before?

so it was the low quality LED's u had in before?

i wouldnt call them low quality. just a different layout.

justin had everyday single Narva brand LED's and i had a different brand with a triple LED layout on the top.

both showed exactly the same light spread...the ones from america have a better design

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
