Converting An R33 A/c Bulb To Led

[666DAN]

If you've bought one of my LEDs or have your own to insert, the quick easy way to do it.

[evesdropping]

and the results... (even if they are somewhat blurry)

looks great in real life, perfectly matches the blue dash lights.

Installation is a breeze.

looks great! Thanks for the pics...let people get an idea of what it does.

looks pretty cool, didn't realise it was that easy to change over, i thought i would have to change the whole thing.

one of the bulbs is blown and hard to see the buttons at night, so will definetely doing that

thanks for the guide and the result pics.

if you have taken your dash off before, the whole thing should only take about 10 or 15 minutes.

Lies!!!! I'd sell you an old napkin if I thought you really wanted it I thought you meant like the individual rectangle LEDs...I can't get them.

This was the final trial and error discovery with the R33 A/C's finally a bulb!

[DECIM8]

You take the T5 bulb, remove the bottom half with a sharp craft knife (without axing the leads) then fit it to the existing bulb holder as shown....easy

So how many parts do we have to buy? Just the LEDs, or everything that in the photo? Or has most of that come from the car anyway? I need to do this desperately (actually, i need to get my "off" and "auto" buttons to work, but I didnt even know they lit up!!). Any one else have this problem?

You jsut need two T5 LEDs, then trim them to fit in the grey plastic base that is already in the A/C

Cheers, I'll try that. I hate the lights in my dash atm, really ugly. I'll give it ago.

[Madaz]

Dan, I just ordered the T10s on ur ebay site for my 33 gtst dash. All thats listed is the dash kits. What have I got to do to get the a/c T5s as well? Ive been reading around and so far word is that urs seem to be the go.

Also, just a general one for any1 who can help, cant seem to find a decent thread on this... the clock light and the actual climate control lcd display, ive heard its made with layers n the colour is only given on the final (or final-ish) layer... is this correct, has anyone figured how 2 change this n if so is there a tutorial? wouldn mind a blue clock to match the rest

cheers

hmm, the 32 and 33 clocks are situated different, but I managed to refind that thread I stumbled across ages back

hmmm found a place on the net that supplies the T5 and T10 LED bulbs, as well as T5 and T10 sockets. Would it be better to buy the aftermarket T5 sockets for an R34?
