Nice thread guys. I love the 6LE stuff myself and have a few of their products:

Overlays, including HVAC and shift selector:




I'm having a problem with hot spots on my LED conversion...not sure on what I should do to correct this...



I also have the rear seat deletes that I'll be installing after I strip the interior out and put my roll cage in. I'll update the thread with pics of that when I'm done

rooster99ss, what kind of LED's are you using? Are you using the ones we recommend on our site? The 360 degree LED's from superbright? They make no hotspots since there is no "LED" "on top" on the unit, instead the side mounted LEDs make the 360* coverage.

I don't know really. I got them from super bright, but I don't know if it's the same ones you're talking about. I'll order a set of those though if that corrects the problem. Thanks

Finally getting some pics up. I have the gauge overlay (White fading to Orange) and center vent gauge panel (Replaces the two center HVAC Outlets). Decided to get rid of the A-pillar gauge pods to keep the car more of a sleeper. Picked up a spare center trim bezel so I was less concerned about cutting that center strip out. Did the gauges and center panel back in spring 2010. Everything is fit well and is working great! I still get some air out of the vent holes in the replacement panel.

Just got around to visiting the link, I take it that those are the type that you have to solder or something? Those definitely aren't the ones that I have. The ones that I have just plug back into the socket that the original bulbs were in. I didn't see any type of installation instructions in your thread.

No, no soldering anywhere on our cars. Those are ALL PLUG AND PLAY LED's. We push these LED's because we've tried them and since we did our own in house gauge overlay testing, we found that these have the best lighting and no hotspots. So I guess you can say these are 6LE endorsed.

You're very welcome!

and here's a quick shot of my gauges for comparison to yours. These are with the LED's we recommended above... and this pic is still crappy and looks dark.

Yeah, that looks way better, lol. One thing I want to ask is that in the pictures, those LEDs look like they're kinda large and lay flat. I'm just trying to picture how those go through those small holes on the back of the cluster assembly that the bulb sockets snap into?

Also, if you don't mind, please remind me how many of those I need to order for the cluster. I forgot

The LED's do lay flat and fit in the holes barely. I have them and they work great

I ordered the rear diffuser for my T/A friday. I cant wait to see it and post some installed pics. I'm planning on doing it flat or matte black on a black car and maybe some Mecham tips. 6LE if it gets here tomorrow if wont hurt my feelings at all!

I plan to do the diffuser on my T/A as well for my birthday, my wife just doesn't know it yet that she's getting it for me.

I'm going to do it in satin black to match my hood blackbird stripes and nostrils. It should look good.

Yes they fit fine. No work needed to install.

What to order:

5 for the main cluster - I chose Cool white
2 for the turn signals - I chose green
1 for high beam - I choose blue
