i wont give up until it is completed and im doing this install all by myself, now out of interest when i have figured it out and i am 100%, who would be interested in having theirs done... Cos i am willing to do any1 else with a jza80

- I'll determine a price once i have completed it.

Since you're going ahead with this, this may of be some interest to yourself or others reading this.

Its on the national forums, and is for s2, but i'm sure for a s1 it would still be very helpful.

Thx champ, i have looked and read as much information as i can... i have even found a few D.I.Y's its a big job.. but i can get it done. my mind is set on it hehe

[PHANTOM]

few people on here have also done it. choice of LED's and resistors is very critical. the A/C side of things is the trickiest as the buttons need there own LED's.

at some point when i have the time i will revisit mine and sort it out a little bit better.

Im really hoping it goes well. i have read up on it heaps.... and im looking forward to actually doing it... Ppl will see it and say wow that looks cool and i will be able to say i did this. :-) nothing better then having the satisfaction of doing something yourself.... But yeah, hopefully it goes to plan. I wont attempt it until i have read all the "Do's and Dont's."

Looking forward to checking yours out one day mate...

LEDs have come from superbrightLEDs.com

As for the resisters i have not yet purchased them, any idea where i should get them from? remembering i live up North

um jaycar, dick smith, any electronics store?

get the LED values and resister values from the national forum. they seem to work well

[Dragosani]

yep, just get them from dick smith. take some envelopes and a texta so you know what resistance they are -- they're not in retail packaging and just have different coloured stripes to tell them apart.

Thats what it looks like in a mk3. Just take into account that exposure in that photo is way to long... it was done with a crap camera.
The mk3 took me abOut 12-15 hours to do in total in the first lot... and its not easy. The mk4 is considerably more ticky to get right and will take longer.
My advise. Shrink wrap all exposed wires and make sure your LED's and resistors can handle 14v and wattage going through them, the last thing you want is a car fire...

Read the national forum right up. Its the best way to do it.

Don’t trust the photos. The blue won’t look that bright. The exposure has been adjusted top make the photo look good. See how much brighter the read and orange warning lights look.

I found some old photos from 2006. My current setup is pretty much back to stock.

Ive been really keen to do this as well. I want my whole dash done but i dont think i have the patience or ability to do it right. Is there anyone in adelaide that does it all for you?

[CDUCTV]

Adam, pending how you go, ill sling some coin your way to do mine. My patience for really fiddly shit is non existent

[--Golli]

I'll be willing to do it, but until i've done at least once, I'm not completely condfident.

Well once you've gotten some practice under your belt let me know a price and i may get you to work your magic on mine.

[Avender00]

GUYS... I WILL MASTER IT HAHAHAHA! i got all my LEDS today thx Kim (Ultra) for the first lot and now i got the second lot 2day for the AC Control's.. I just need to get some Resistors and then i am set ;-)

i have read about it over and over, i wont be free balling this procedure LOL!

YIROS: looks good mate :-) i want to do my door handles but it looks like to much hassle to do it.... door handles are always tricky things to work with..


Keep in mind guys, i dont mind doing any1 Else's for some coin BUT! im letting you know now, i haven't touched a soldering iron since i finished school (2-3 years ago) but ill let everyone know the process and when i have started it. :-)

if i "master this" who would like their AC controller done, The cluster is simple but if this needs doing as well then im happy to help a SA Supra member out :-)
