My current LED ones I have in my car look absolutely awesome. I didnt like how the A/C lights lit up either with the red, so I just left the 2 stock bulbs (long white ones in climate unit), and then did all the rest of the bulbs in blue, and all the indicators white/red. Turned out awesome. Ill take some pics of it tonight and show you guys!

Oh ok, I guess it's not defective bulbs if everyone has had the same problems regardless of color. It occurred to me that the audio controls are almost TOO bright, but my arm blocks them when I'm driving. The AC controls aren't bright enough to be distracting, so all in all, I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Also, I should note that red is basically the only filter that will work with the tach w/o doing the entire Qube Engineering LED conversion. See the second post here:

Hey gabster, yeah I was going to snap a pic last night and completely forgot. Ill be sure to take one later on tonight when its dark. Im really glad I did it that way. Also I was kinda worried about the white LED fan idicators and stuff being to bright, but honestly its not that bad. I drive on the highway alot when its dark coming from my girlfriends house, and has never bothered me at all. Im glad I didnt sell this blue set!

I got plans for it. I just have to save some money to do it. I think it looks fine for now though.

So how many globes do we need in total to change out the A/C controls and the AUDIO/Starter/ROOF/HAZARD lights? As in how many of each type?

Type A - T3
Type B - T4

Am I correct in saying this? I want to order some LEDs while I have my dash out!

Just replaced my roof button bulb with LED from superbrightled and wow is it brighter than the hazard for sure, I didn't know the roof switch illuminated in the first place since it never worked when I got the car lol. I tried the same bulb on the hazard switch but it didn't fit properly so it never light up =(.
