i was wondering if the ac display is supposed to be back lite? mine is dark as hell at night i need to turn on my dome light to read it and its pissing me off, and also how do i go about changing a burnt out bulb behind my center gauges?

ok the buttons have light, but the actaul display itself doesn't (the very very middle area)

oh ok i thought that was for changing the button lights

that looks sick, are the bulbs or LEDs, hehe time for some blue..... anyway i could change the color of the damn clock?

mmm decisions decisions, blue on blue, or red on blue, my stereo buttons are red so i'm leaning that way, but eventually once i figure out how to change the color of the digidash i'm making that blue. any ideas on what you would do if u had a blue Z, and wanted to change interior colors

ok so i see the part number is 27613-01P10, does that come in one color, or any color, where could i get a colored verison of that part?

how did u retrofit them?

no not yet, do the LEDs just interchange inside the connector? i don't know much bout individual LED instalations

if i don't have the resistor what would happen? and where does the resister go i need help asap i put the 12v leds in without a resistor, they worked for like 2 mintues, then nothing, now they occasaionally work, where do i wire the resistor?

 

[ICP Sux0rZ!]

go with the 5.2V leds (i think theyre 5.2V) and ask the people at RS what kind of resistor you need to run to get a 12V down to a 5.2 (or whatever it is) and then just solder it to the LED itsself, but use the connection for the resistor instead of the LED.

but if i do that it won't fit into the housing for the led, do u wnat me to take a pic of what the setup looks like?

would the physical size of the LEDs matter, i bought 5mm (all i could find), and the stocks look like 3mm?

on an off topic note that is kinda related - anyone know a way to seperate the colored backing thats attached to the faces of the center gauges?? i was looking at them and i want to put a white piece behind the black peice (black face, white dial). also what size are those bulbs for the center gauges? are they 194's?
