Custom Dash LED conversion

[Element12]

Hey all,

I've done the rest of the other lights in the car with LEDS including the number plate lights and the parkers.

But now im up to my next challange...the dash :eek:

Im unsure how to take it out and what to expect, is there bulbs that just sit in the various cluters which are just swapable and plug and play ?

I know you can get LED conversion kits like that from ledautomotive.com

But, I wanna be able to convert the dash to a hyper white

Any help would be appreciated.

pull out the cluster and have a look, should be a mix of t10 (standard parker size) and t5 bulbs (smaller)
figure out how many of each you'll need, and take out all the halogen wegde bulbs, put in all the led ones.
only trouble is you might get some "hot" and "dull" spots of light..

Yeah, alright i'll have a further look into it, i'm sure i can get a spare dash i can muck around with so i don't stuff my original one.

how did find taking out the dash, i triedd but couldnt seem to get the part off where the gear shifter is!
so frustrating....is there a special way of getting to the dash? any directions?

Um, i getting out the centre console was the easiest, as i have installed two different headdecks into the car before.

As for the dash, i found a DIY
