What up guys happy Monday lol. I just put in a order for some LED's for my gauge cluster. Last night I notice one of them went out while I was driving and then decided to come back on sometime later so I decided I would replace them. I have kind of been wanting to do all LEDs since seeing the thread up here with clusters done up with them. I went throught superbrightleds.com great service and they ship the same day if you place your order before 1:00pm central time. I decided to go with all cool white bulbs and one extra red for redline(we will see if that works). I still haven't received my tracking info yet from JHPUSA but I was told it will get shipped out today so we will see how that goes by the end of the day. Have a great day to all of you who follow this built.

Call those knuckleheads up and get your info emailed to you. There's been a few times that my items have shipped out before I receive my tracking info from jhp. :what:

I just got it but nothing shows up when I enter the tracking code. I guess it hasn't been thru the system yet. I'll check again later tonight to see if it updates.

LED's are tons of fun =) I converted my coupe to LED's
I'm pretty excited to see how it's going to looks. Idk if I will be able to make redline light up but I'll try. I decided to try this before paying someone to wire LEDs and resistors on the back of the gauge faces.

Ok so I've been thinking of a wheel to buy for my first set. There are tons of wheels I like and a lot of them I don't plan on getting for a first wheel but I have a few looks I like. Now I don't plan to get the exact wheel on all of the cars but just to give you guys idea.

#1


#2


#3


#4


Let me know what you guys think. I most likely will go for all these looks at some point. I plan to be kind of a wheel whore.

Yea I hear you but wouldn't waste money buying a new harness just to fix a bulb issue.

Well I replaced the bulbs and at first I didn't like how dim the light output was, so I got some sand paper and went to town on the back of the gauge plates.







This is the result



Some cold spots but not to bad. Then I got disappointed I couldn't get red line to be bright red so I decided to get my speedo to give me the same results. I used 1 cool blue led, 1 standard bulb with the blue condom removed and 1 red led. The result is you get a speedo that goes like this 0-45(cool blue) 50-85(amber)90-130(red). For some reason the iPhone sucks at capturing the different colors of light so these don't do justice but it's what I got.

So today's update is kinda boring. I got tired of looking at my faded side skirts so I went and picked up some Mothers " Back to black" polish.



Here's a crappy picture of the result



Nice to finally have my mud guards and side skirts match.
