its easy to do mate just takes some patience to solder the new ones up, cause those are different bulbs then the plug in ones behind the gauges. did mine in blue a while ago.

have you changed the gauges to LED already ?

also did my light up ring around the ignition lock, and door panels

8 ,10 inch neons hidden in the front area and mutiple LED in the dome light in the middle. wired up to only come on with door open to be legal

gear shift selector LED to show what gear your in coming soon. and much more ...lol

I can help ya sometime but would be a few weeks out still????

Madaz did my LED's, no soldering required.

yeah you can do it that way too, I solder the LED and military grade resistor together not hack the wires or some shit like that.

the dude on here selling the LED's for lines on ebay can provide some too,,,, but they fail random. but he does provide replacements in the first year....lol

and DAMO your a/c doesnt seem to light up blue ????? do you know it has more globes hidden under the black panel ?????

Depends on the LEDS you choose...

Some leds wont require soldering. Others will.

I need my aircon ones done. And might as well do the dash ones, too.

Edit: Damo, you have quite a few dark spots on your dash lights?

Yeah i bought the ones from the guy on sau, shuld screw right in. I know that part is easy i just dont know how to take the dash appart and i know there are topics and posts about it all over the place but id rather pay someone who has done it before to do it so im not worrying about braking clips and things.

So if you or anyone on here could do it about 3 weeks down the track that wuld be good pm me about how much people wuld charge if anyone is interested in helpin me out :)

Thanx again guys!!!

A while ago i read all the way through his thread. It was a certain batch/series that were failing...something to do with the wrong voltage i think. He has now fixed them..i believe.

the ones in A/C arent the right ones if there from DAN 666.. those are way too big for the A/C

can you take a photo of one LED to see for sure which ones you have??? the dash uses mutiple LED's on one stick if there from DAN666 ebay auction for R34 SERIES 1 if your car is SERIES 2 R34 they used different film backing on the clusters ,, much harder to light up !!!

I recently did all my dash with LED's from 666Dan. I did instrument cluster, clock, cigarette lighter, foglight, demister, headlight switches and also the climate control.

Pack on the left has 3 smaller ones and 3 bigger ones of the same type and pack on right just has 8 of the wide angle ones all same size.

yep those are the ones you need, but to do the lights on the buttons on the A/C it takes 3 more little ones (hidden ones under the black plastic , screwed down) optional of course

and I used a single blue one for my LED on the ignition barrel. bright as fark now

doors take more customization if you want those done

it takes about 30 min to do the A/C and Dash ones

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
