Click the pictures and look for them these are what I bought. The bulb to light up the (AUTO,ECON, OFF) area of the HVAC required taking the bulb out of the base and kind of aiming it at the light reflector in the unit to make it look even.Natedogg1701 wrote:wow that is a detailed process to change out the door locks and window controls, thats a project for a free day. but what about the led for the dimmer, and what kind of led did you use for the P,R,N,D,2,1? i know you said its a 168 bulb, but i want an led that will disperse the light well, also the T4 bulbs for behind the climate control unit, that site you got your from offers a T4 bulb, then a T$ bulb that says it 30% brighter than the normal ones, but the one that claims it is brighter is cheaper!? which ones did you get? and oh yea, cutting those dimming wires looks waay better, i like having the clock and compas brighter at night. thanks
My blue gauge lights show up pretty good i can still see the red needles much better than in my video. I had redone all the climate control lights after those first pics in this post, and in the video you can see there much brighter I didn't drill any holes and you can ask Qxxx4 how it looks. The LED for defrost is a 5mm and a 1kohm resistor any electronics store or ebay.Natedogg1701 wrote:how well can you see your odometer with the blue light, does it have its own light or is it lit by the two bulbs that light up thw whole instrument pannel? and the led u replaced for the rear defroster, where did you get it and the resistor? sorry for all the questions, just anxious to get this project done, and done right. and ya ive seen some of Qxxx4's mods and they are prett sick, for the mode butons he drilled a small hole in that clear plastic that disperses the light and added another led, but idk how it came out. and oh ya, have you changed your dome light and back cargo light to blue led's as well? i bought some and they look sick, only problem is the dome light doesnt go completely out, stay on very dim, i dont know why. what happened to your pics at the bigginning of the thread?

Why can't we all just love each other and live in peace (or at least not flame each other about the color wheel)? I deleted the argument and left the informative stuff so it wasn't a total loss.
i did it this yesterday afternoon and same thing, dollar store stuff doesnt make it look too good.. stuffs a lil hazy but it looks better then green.Ryman wrote:Did this the other day looks 100x better than stock green.... but I used real transparent cellophane that wasn't really magenta so i had to layer it a couple of times but not bad it looks bluish-whitish but only cost me a dollar at local convenience store by far cheapest, fastest, easiest thing i've done to my qx4 thanks guys
Turning green to purple would be very difficult. Green and purple are on opposite sides of the color wheel.TheFinder wrote:does anyone know how i would make a purple light?
and how did you keep the cellophane attached??
