I plan on hacking into the cluster plug and using the stock track.

The colored globe you get like the blue once in the one pic are the once with a colored film over them. The rest are clear. Youre abs,highbeam,oil,washer water ect are all clear globe with color filters in the cluster. The spare one is amber like the washer light next to it.

Cool so if I fit a blue globe into the spare spot that would give me a greenish light??

Gary - from the front side of the cluster, the clear "globes" you see, that look like LED's, are in fact NOT LED's...

they're just covers.

the light shines through them from the back, and this is where the colour can come in. you get a normal globe in the back, and you can put one of the coloured films in to get the desired colour...

or you can get coloured globes.

but those LED's in front are not actual LED's!

In thoerie yes.

fit a blue globe and get a green light???

why - is your clear light cover faded yellow???

no dude - fit a blue globe get a blue light

Guys what are these colour lenses/filters or what ever?? Can I remove them and just fit a blue globe?? I still what the globe to look like a LED from the outside though... maybe I must just fit a LED??

I havent opened the thing that far but i thing behind the bit looking like a led is a removable filter.

you okes are clowns!

gary - remove the cluster and see for yourself. it will take about 10 minutes.

5 mins - if you have criminal tendencies!

Also remember the globes in there are normal globes, i.e. polarity doesnt matter they just work.

If you fit an LED you need to trace the track upstream until you find a place where its marked + or - and then install the LED accordingly. Also some were swapped around so tracing it for one and then doing the rest the same wont work, you gotta trace each one.

Otherwise you gonna pop the nice R30 each Austostyle LED's...

gary what you going to use it for?

will be a warning light.

for your w/m

ja

I was thinking about using for a light that comes on if the fans are running, ill know when theres kak coming.
