**Edit**
I've had more PM's and questions about my gauge cluster than anything else. Everybody wanted to know where to buy them.. Though I've replied to many IM's (at least 8-10) and also replied in my project thread, I still get questions....
SO, this is about as detailed of a walkthrough as you can get on buying these bulbs and the installation (which will be up shortly).


Step 1:
Click on this link..Single LED Wedge Base Bulbs
You'll go this the page...

If you can't figure out where to click from looking at the above pic, please, punch yourself in the face and repeat the above step.

Step 2:
Hopefully the face punchers will have figured out where to go after a few times. For the more intellegent ones in the populous, you were rewarded with the below page. Now, this is after some scrollage to the bottom, so don't panic of you don't see this right away.. Scroll to the bottom and your next step will be waiting.

If you can't figure out where to go on this page, call a friend, get him/her to come over and give them the honor/joy/pleasure of punching you in the face.

Step 3:
If your face isn't sore from getting hit, your doing good! If it is, well... Life is tough sometimes, but chicks dig scars and bruses heal
You'll be on this page by now (hopefully):

--Scroll down 13 items (the are item # 13)
--Click on the quantity.
--Type in 3
--Click on Add to cart
--If your done buying bulbs, pat yourself on the back and click on Check Out
If your still having trouble, go back to step one and repeat all face puncing. Call another friend if needed to help out.

Step 4:
Have your CC ready (must be 18 or older to order, have yor parents permission, blah blah blah) You will be on this page.

If everything looks good and again, your done buying LED's, click on the highlighted area in the pic. Unfortunately, if you don't know where to click, no amount of getting hit in the face will help you. Just go and die quietly in a lonely corner somewhere dark, damp and cold. But please, try not to make it messy. Think of the guy who's gotta clean it up, ok? Thanks.

Step 5:
You'll end up here:

Fill in the information and click verify order. You'll go to a confirmation page (if memory serves me correct). If evrything is good, hit process order or whatever to place your order. I think you've been trained well enough now to recognize what to click on. If directions were followed, only the elite have made it this far and all face punches are decaying quietly and without creating a mess.

Congrats! You've just bought you some Vtak LED's!!

The write up on the installation will come later this morning. Maybe 1 or 2 of you will be amused by my twisted humor.. I dunno I was bored

Enj0y!

 

ha ha ha. great writeup.

 

is your Climate control matching? why didnt you do amber?

 

<----Waiting for an intall right up.

 

I just ordered some LEDs from them for a school project... weird

 

i think i'm going to get some.

 

OK.... Sorry for the craptacular pics, but they'll have to do.

Here goes my uber write up. If you can't do this w/this write up, never pick up a tool to work on your car EVER.

Step 1: What we need to be looking at. Simple enough, unless your blind. But then you don't need to be driving a car and surely could'nt care less about the color of an instrument cluster.


Step 2: Remove the Bezel screws.
Again, pretty freaking self explanitory. You just need a kinda short screw driver.


Step 3: Remove bezel and rejoice! Angels decended from heaven singing one long note when I removed mine.. you may not have the same experience. if not, a simple thumbs up to yourself will do.


Step 4: Remove evil screws. I only took one pic, but there are 3 screws total. The one the cool white arrow is pointing at is kinda hard to see (impossible in the pic) but it's there.. Hiding.. Waiting for you to remove it and drop it into the depths of yoru dash (yes, I've lost a few screws doing this). There is another screw on the opposite side and one at the very top in the middle of the cluister.


Step 5: Remove the cluster/make the bulbs accessable.
It's nice and warm here in FL and my car is parked in the sun, so the wires were soft and made this easy to do. I simply grabbed it (with my hands) and pulled it (using a whole bunch of muscles I have no clue the names of) and turned it (with the greatest skill and precision) so it looks like the below pic.
The cool white arrows are pointing to the locations of the (3) 194 bulbs that you need to remove/replace w/the LED's. Siply twist (using your hands again) the bulbs out and replace them w/the bulbs you previously learned how to buy. **Note** you need to have them in yoru possession before you attempt this**


And there ya go! Simply do the reverse of everything you did to get it out, screw everything down and put the bezel back into place and yoru done!
A good idea would be to check and make sure your cluster lights up, since I had to fiddle w/ one of the bulbs because it wasnt getting a good connection.


And, on a side note.. I kinda did the same thing w/my climate control.. removing the orange paint stuff from the buttons w/a quetip and some nail polish remover. BE CAREFUL!! I removed too much on my original one and it looked like crap I actually dissassembled this thing and painted the bulbs blue. Not very bright, but it's got a cool hint of blue at night.



There. Again, if you can't replace the bulbs after these 2 write ups... Do us all a favor..

DON'T HAVE KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enj0y!

 

lol nice write up
