  i got blue lights on my dash! updated with pics


i finally changed my dash lights on my 2007 sentra



close up of a gauge with the lights. in real life they are a tad bit deeper blue color but this is close enough.



The red circles are the lights i changed to the blue

this is what the center round display looks like taken apart, i bet if the orange piece was to be replaced by a blue one it would be blue, although the lights behind it would need to be changed also, they emit a orange light as well. i may change this in the future.

i will post pics tonight of what it looks like.

the lights that the car comes with car plcc which means plastic lead chip carrier LEDS. now you could if you wanted to use any SMD or surface mount diode that uses the correct amount of voltage but i like to keep it as real as i can so i used plcc smd leds.. long name i know lol. but basically buy 10, 5 on each side and just soder (spelling?) them on. i posted the pic of what lights i changed to make it easy lol. but all in all took like 10 min to do. and they dim and brighten just as good as the stock ones.


the pics show them in full brightness btw

how hard was it to get the board out, and what do you gotta take apart?
also do you have to unsolder the orange bulbs?
