Installing hyper white leds to replace stock led's
I just want to say, if your not good with solder and such don't even attempt this... Its very hard and easy to mess up.
Its also a head ache... gotta run out to the car to test the damn things 20 million times. So unless you know what your getting into don't do it.
My conversion is almost done, I'll have pics asap. Got two more led's to get workin.

well yea because of the way it's set up. I put two leds for each bulb for the dials and it's still dimmer than the buttons that I put one led in. It's not gonna be perfect I guess. Still okay. They got dimmer after aem pullies install.

i have that hvs thing. the dimming just happens at idle cause the alternator is underpowered. The led lights under the seats really dim no matter what like opening the window.

Ya cause neons keep dying on me. I got those 8 led apc things that are small capsules. I only used two per side and they're super bright.

Not installed, but basically I put two capsules under each seat facing forward. Any more and it was just way too much light compared to my dash lights. For the rear part of the seats (visible from the back), I have EL string light along the bottom. It looks pimp but hard to take pics.

Those are $15 and the first four are separated by 1 foot of wire, then alot inbetween, then the other four. So you can easily wire it in with four on each side and hide some of em if you don't want it too bright.
