You take the unit out, then unscrew the front of it. the blubs are set in a little clip which unscrews and you can take it out. Good luck finding new blubs to fit, mine has been blanked out for a while now because I haven't been able to find new ones.

i believe there was someone doing a group buy of different colour led's on the GB thread so maybe do a search and see if he has them yet? they were gonna be in white (std) blue amber and i think green? had a few pics of them installed in gtr dashes adn looked the goods, so might be worth sussing out?

cheers oxford

Jump on the Yahoo auctions. There are quite a few kits on there for them. Most of them seem to be blue though, but if thats not a drama (wouldn't be for me) have a look.

I got bulbs for mine from dick smith in brisbane city, can't remember the part number but they were tiny 12v bulbs. I just took the ones out of the car into the shop and compared them. They came with wires on them already which i stripped to bare wire to put in the unit. That was about a year ago and they have been perfect ever since. If you do go ahead, the stock bulbs have little blue sleeves over them which are very fragile, try not to damage them when you take them off so you can re-use them.

No Yudi, it's very easy...

Just use the guide for removing your head unit, and once you get the whole section which holds the stereo, guages and climate control panel out, it'll be easy from there.

Ohh oK thanks Nick. That shouldnt be a problem since i change the headunit myself. THanks again. This Led light have been bugging me since i got the car almost 1yr now. Geez thats quick 1 year already. I dont think i will ever sell the car, it will be a ripper in abt 10yrs.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
