I've got (8) 5 SMD LED's on the way from ebay got them for 15.16. I'm going to swap out my HVAC and the gauge cluster when i swap my radio out. I have seen that people have taken the airbag out. Is that completely necessary? They should be here within the next week I think, I ordered them about a week ago. I'm also waiting to find the amp bypass to get started...

My LED's arrived today, got to go pick them up from my parents place. I think i will try to put the HVAC tonight or tomorrow after work.
 






I tried a couple of them out in the license plate light area and they didn't work. Kinda worried that they are defective but my cruise control light on the steering wheel came on, the on/off switch was dead, but has been resurrected.
 






Try turning the leds around. They only work one way. ;)
 






I did. But they are not standard LED's they are the ones that are compatable with the 194 bulb (supposedly)
 






I have them in mine too, and the tail lights. I turned them on and then put them in. If they didn't come on at first contact I spun them around. Sometimes the little wire contacts need to be bent a little to make a good contact
 






I'll have to try that. So they just come on they dont have to warm up or anything? I want to try and tackle the HVAC tonight after work.
 






Did the HVAC last night, I love the blue i have now.
 






Well got the gauge cluster done today. I'll have to get a night pic. The only part that bothers me is the 50-60 is dull dont know why there is not a bulb closer to that part.
