Default LED's are in..

Purchased from Nathan @ LEDGuages.com
Pic's are pretty shitty but you get the idea...

They all look awesome in person...

Here is what i did...
dome light,doors,map lights,HVAC,guage cluster, A pillar guages, shift indicator (A4)










I'll have to do a better job... it's an old camera.. I am 6'2 and around 225.. i little hard to get in the back of the car..

Pretty easy install overall..

Nice!
Looks good.

How hard was it to do the mirror lights? Do they still dim after so many seconds?

How do you like the blue? Did you ever consider doing it hyper white?

pretty simple... pop off the clear piece.. very carefully remove the factory bulb ( needle nose pliers) put new bulbs in.. Yes, they still dim after closing the door...

I replaced the lights in my gauges a while back to blue and the blue is real bright but my needles are alot dimmer then yours, did you do anything special with the needles to keep they bright like that?

I should have been more clear when I asked this. My bad. I know where you got them I was just wondering what color did you go with. The blue or white. I have the white kit but I am curious to what the shifter looks like. Also, I have yet to find a good repacement LED to match the color for the fog light switch, the asr switch and the steering wheel controls. Maybe someone can chime in to a finding a replacement color matching LED to match the white kit from led gauges.

Did not do anything to the needles...
I went with the blue... The shifter looks exactly like the doors/HL switch.. it is NOT as bright as the guage cluster... But is well lit @ night..

PM Nathan @ LED guages.com... he will make you what you need...

Yes... i am way too big for the back seat.. The things we do for pic's..


The ones for the mirrors are shaped like a vitamin.. "for lack of a better term".. it is the same ones that are in your dome light.. BE VERY EASY removing the lights in your mirror... the brass clips are easy to dis lodge..

Thanks for the comments.. let me know if i can help...

Patience... that is the key grasshoppa...

If you dont mind me asking how long did it take you to receive your order from LEDgauges? I placed an order with them weeks ago and have since not heard a word from them and that includes me trying to contact them via email just to have my emails unanswered?
