Fitting Led Lights To Dash, Ac Unit, Power Window Buttons

[Jonno34]

Hey everyone,

as the title suggests, I just ordered some of 666DAN LED's for the dash and A/C unit, and im gonna go get some 3mm LED for the power window buttons

I know its meant to be a simple enough job but im quite nervous about removing the whole dash/centre console etc

Anyway, my dad and I are gonna give it a go this weekend ....

Would anybody who's done this before be able to give us a hand?

We can come to you we can pay you for your troubles

Thanks guys

btw its a r34 series 1

It's really easy dude, probably the hardest part is getting the bulbs polarity right lol. Frustrating having to take the dash in and out when you get the bulbs the wrong way round.

Just take your time and be gentle with everything and you will be fine.

i used to be paranoid doing these things when i wasnt sure. But if someone shows you, you will know for next time

ive done it before, its really easy actually. its a pain in the butt if you dont set it right though you gotta take you dash out again..

or in my case if you didnt twist it around enough to make it touch the positive and negitive.. lol just make sure you do,

Good luck

patty that link made it seem even more difficult :| looks pretty complex hahaha

Yeah Terence I'd love the help I'll get in touch with you on friday

Btw hey Martin I'm loving the exhaust

woh from that link do u's rip out the entire dash? thats crazy, i only took out the ash tray screw, centre console part, wala air con ready to go, globes r bit fiddly at start but got it eventually. triple gauge took me about 3 mins from scratch lol was suprised at how easy that one was. speedo took a bit messin about but pretty straight forward, done about 4 times now. twice on mine n a couple mates. ill try find an easier link i used...

*edit - duno if dash comin out has anything to do with power window buttons but wouldnt think so lol. Never done those.

hey everyone, the first time i did it the left and middle globes on the a/c unit didnt light up, but I couldnt remember if they did or not, so i just left it

After looking at old pics, i realised they were meant to, and fiddled around a bit with em, and finally got the left one working also by switching the two lights around that werent working.

I couldnt get the middle one working, even when i tried to switch the bulbs to the one on the right (the one that has always worked)

Not too sure whats gone wrong with this, I used the stock bulb and that worked okay

Oh and in the process of getting the middle light working the fuse blew and had to wait until today for it to get fixed -.-

its now fixed, but the centre light still isnt turning on!

It looks pretty silly atm ...

Anybody got any ideas whats wrong/how to fix it?

BTW so far i have tried switching the bulbs to a different one, twisting it around a bit to make sure the contact was there, taking it out and putting it in a couple of times ...

nothing really seems to be working

When I did mine it didn't work the first time but I played around with it and noticed if you put it in the opposite way you put it in it should work if that makes sense and also spread the metal contacts on the globes a bit for better contact hope that makes sense

Cheers Patrick

Any advice on how to remove the power window "Auto" light on R33? Had everything disassembled so I could see the globe, but buggered if I could get it out...
