Cleared out 02 wrx gauge cluster with blue led's

i had my freind clear out the film on the back of the cluster then i installed blue leds this is basicly the end product. in the future im going to switch back to the stock bulb or a white led under the tac so my redline isnt purple



these r the led's i used

 

also in the image where it looks white its just some weird reflection its a pretty universal blue in person. next will be the hvac controls

 

Might have to do this with mine to match my blue prosports. Looks good!

 

i also did my autometer guages with the same color led

 

looks great to me. So what if you purpleline at 7000 rpms.

 

The light looks uneven, is that because of the angle of the picture? Either way props, looks pretty good.

You should do a how-to write up.

 

its just the lighting for the most part. there is one spot that is a little dim but for the most part like i said its pretty universal wish i could get a picture to turn out better. i also didnt do the clearing of the gel out that was my freind he has a write up on another forum ill see if he will give me permission to post it here

 

blackozone also, or at least used to, do color changes for a pretty affordable price

 

yea. i also noticed that my turn signal idicators are also blue now and that the blue led was able 2 over power the green film for the indicators and still be very close if not the same color as the rest of the cluster. so on my hvac controls im going to try just replacing the bulb with these same led's and leave the film in. does anyone know what # bulb is behind the hvac controls? is it the same as the cluster?

 

Do the LEDs still dim?

 

The hot-spotting might happening because you didn't remove the film/diffuser ink from the back of the gauges.

I might be inspired to do it again, I've been working on making my setups more reliable and reversable.

The LED doesn't "overpower" the film, the color blue comes through the green filter more true than other colors because they are close to one another in the color spectrum. The bulb # you're looking for in the HVAC is #74. Also, I've never removed the film from the HVAC, just get LED's in the color you want. They will turn out fine.

Yes.

Film has been removed n thanks for the bulb number

 

02-04 HVAC is 2 bulbs.
05-07 Auto HVAC is 3 integrated LEDs.

 

Good call! My bad.

I've been in and out of this whole process quite a bit, so I have the information right off the top of my head. Useless information taking up critical memory space...

 

sounds like u need to defragment and rearage that data to try and store it more effectively

 

looking for one red led for my 02 or two oem one!!

 

had the blue in my cluster too but after getting it for a couple of month all the light went out.
