Does anyone how to change the dash light from the amber color to a blue? Also looking for grey and black racing/performance seats, anyone know a good place in Canada?


Thanks

 

You could get blue led replacements or light bulb covers.

thanks

 

I recommend WLED-X5 Wedge bulbs. I ordered some for my car, and they are amazing.

This is what they look like lit up:


I ordered mine from superbrightleds.com

 

sounds good.... thanks guys.

 

If your still lookin for seats, Im sure you've already seen this site. But personally I think they're cool looking and id like to get some, some day... Here's the link

Not sure about Canada shipping though.

 

I love the grey and black ones. I am not sure what they are made of though. I think its just a cloth type material and I was hoping for something a little more stylish. Good find though... Thanks.

 

but ya I was wondering what they were made of too, they look mad comfortable though.

 

I want leather maybe but I am not sure yet, maybe even fake leather,

 

do you guys think these



are bright enough to light gauges nicely, or go with the higher ups?

 

Judging by the light pattern, those wont be that good. The ones I posted Actually have 5 LEDs: 1 square one in the middle and 4 facing to the side. That is to distribute the light as evenly as possible.

 

Would any ot them work on that page?

 

2nd Link, 2nd Page, 8th Bulb down. Direct replacement.

 

I tried the bulb covers and they're not bright enough for my taste. I'm ordering the WLED-X5 from superbrightleds.com, but I not looking forward to pulling the cluster out again.

 

i tried LEDs but was never satisfied with the color since the gauges need side light. i did not try the ones posted by cooltc they may work better. i found that the red colored ones from APC actually worked the best.

 

What about these
guys, They look pretty bright. Im trying to light up some white face gauges with the blue numbering, and I want it really bright. Thanks

Matt

 

I got the same ones in amber, looks real good

 

Cool... I will get mine in blue to match my cd player.

 

someone told me that these



don't require new LED lights to look good. He said "You don't need to get extra light bulb. This is a whole set include the wire and inverter. On the back of this gauge face is some circuit. You will connect the inverter to some power source and to the gauge face so it will light up in blue. Thank you."

Can anyone clarify this? Thanks

Matt

 

I've seen these kits go pretty cheap on eBay. What is the power inverter exactly and how easy is it to install? Anyone buy these and install them? Sorry to hijack but it's somewhat related to his original question

 

Easy to install, I put a set of those on my 02 S-10. The inverter box just gets grounded and hooked up to a wire that is hot when the parking lights are on.

 

Im still puzzled how dull factory bulbs light up these gauges so nice, Do they have built in LED's to the gauges?

 

The factory bulbs have nothing to do with lighting up those gauges. The power inverter that you hook up powers the gauges for there own light source.

 

Oh gotcha. Awesome!!

 

Cool.
Here can I get some for me 86 camaro? and what is the name of these so I can do reseach?

 

Here are the seats I am buying....exact same seats...silver and black too.

They are FAKE LEATHER......or Velour as they say...unless thats not fake leather...shyt I just like its style, color and the way it feels.

I SUGGEST SITTING IN THIS SEAT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. I WAS GOING TO BUY A DIFF SEAT UNTIL I SAT IN IT....THEN IT FELT ALL WEIRD..LOL. SO SIT IN IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT.....RECOMMENDED...I SAT ON MINE AT SUMMIT RACING.

I am def getting these bulbs too. Mine in blacklight....shyts tight.

 

Thats exactly what kind of seat I was looking for. Very nice!

 

i only find the white shitty looking versions of this were they basicly just invert to a crapy white look

thats the style i lookfor and havnt found it on ebay yet

need it for the 115

 

Fake leather is not velour. Velour is like a felt/suede-ish kinda fabric. Fake leather is commonly referred to as "pleather", or plastic-leather.

 

I can verify, I went with these though..

I liked the fact that they weren't like all the other aftermarket gauges that had the boring stock font just in a different color. Another plus is how amazingly bright they are. Sorry this is the only pic that shows them lit up as of now.

 

I really like the look of those, but why the glowing circle in the center of the gauge?



Not bad for $12

 

Why not? Looks much more appealing than the stock setup.

 

I just couldnt tell if there was some function to it, other than being a nightlight

(its been a long time since Ive spent any time at all looking at my gauges...cars been parked for 7 years, and were almost done with the engine swap...couldnt remember if there was something there on the gauge to be illuminated)

Are those on ebay...stickers? Im sorry, Ive just never done this before

 

Get some blue LEDs

 

Hey I just bought some of these but without the blue circle in the middle. For my no knowledge about cars and only 17 I didnt do too bad. I could do it again in maybe 1-2 hours if I had to. But here's some things. 1) I used double sided scotch tape for them to stick and it works great. 2) I used a red sharpee and colored my needles red, works awesome (ill get some pics to post later today), and you shouldnt need any blue LED's, they come with a power inverter each gauge has it's own wiring, there are 3 wires (rpm, speedo, temps) they run out the gauge and connect to a chain of wires which runs to the power inverter and it comes with a dimmer and you just run the power inverter to a postive headlight wire and a negative ground.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions. They are 100% worth it, amazing product. (:

 

Cool....looking forward to seeing them.

 

Hey here's some pics I took this morning with my phone. Note: I didnt have the lights on so the needles wernt lit up but I got a pic of the color they are with sharpee, ill try to get a pic of them lit up soon.










Matt

 

I would like to see a video or pictures of these bulbs in use...or something...so I can really see how they look before I buy (even though they are cheap to me...money wise not quality). That and I want to see diff colors and how they look. ANYBODY?

 

If you want to see the LEDs installed, I think I took a picture and its at home. If so, Ill post it when I get home. If not, it will have to wait til I goto the car again, which will probably be this weekend.

 

Hey thats cool. I wouldnt mind waiting till the weekend knowing I am waiting for my Mr. Heater Propane heater and Grant 4 spoke wheel. Take your time. Just would like to see them in "person"...

 

I like a black but I will take white. They are better that stock.

 

Are these availible with different coloured lights? For example, they are blue now, are they availible in red? or green, or...?

 

is there anyway to splice the gauges in so that they use the rheostat that the existing light switch uses eliminating the need for an external ****? I would like both the needles and the gauges to come on at the same time.
