hahah :P Never!
it arived today to.. haha woo

they only sell the amber/yellow ones.. they also sell the coloured caps (like the blue ones on the original bulbs) in red.. maybe if you want red lights give them a try, see what they are like.. (they would probably be the best, becasue they are made with chaging the colour of your dials in mind)

Does anyone know how to take the front part of the climate control off? I can remove the fan speed controller arm as show in the pics..

I got an EK1 would the t5 for the cluster be the same for my car as the eg? It seems the one at jaycar arent bright or people are getting bright patches then dark areas. What seems to work best the navra lights with the little sleeves or the jaycar led lights?

The paint will melt once the light bulb gets very hot.. I work in a hobby shop and we sell these like hot cakes. Good write up very informative

I guess i might aswell post up pics of when i did mine, used T5 White LED globes with a rating of 0.1w frankly i think they are perfect for my liking

.

PS. I know its an auto so dnt rub it in

But in saying that before doing this mod my gear light indicators were working fine, now everything except for D-4 (Drive Gear 4) lights up when selected... i got no idea why? can anyone shed some light

looks like your lights don't spread properly either but because they're white it lights up alot better than the red hehe, nice work

was the climate control a bitch?

haha yea they're actually not that bad in person, dnt really notice it, the climate control was the biggest biatch man seriously i had to keep my pimp hand strong literally. took me 1-2hours on the stupid thing the worst was the hot/cold wire and screwing it back in, not to mention losing the skin on my knuckles...
