guess who sold majin those little LED replacement bulbs
As a matter of fact i have 2 left that i might as well use...
Im going to do my dash conversion (for the 5th time) soon... this will be the last time i ever F- with my dash
Does someone have a pic of the HDK gauges during the day?
The ones shown above are at night right?... looks nice

The WRX is going away... I no longer want to continue paying monthly + insurance + gas for it. I'm going to get something innocuous and use it as a commuter car for a few years while I save money toward a house... then I'll make it into a sleeper. Just not 100% sure what I want to get yet.
As for the dash cluster LEDs, 4x 194s (general lighting) & 2x 73/74s (for gas & temp gauge) is correct. For all other lighting (inside cruise switch, behind HVAC controls, etc) be prepared for a hassle. Those are not "bulbs" in the traditional sense, but small incandescent lamps with very thin wire leads wrapped around small plastic bases. You are going to need to learn to solder and you're going to need ALOT (in the neighborhood of 12-16) of LEDs and 330ohm (or whatever the measurement unit is) resistors. You need to replace each little lamp with a 3mm LED AND resistor, or you will cook your LEDs. It's not HARD, but it is tedious and frustrating. If you're not comfortable cutting wires, you're not going to be able to get the job done, because the resistors need to go inline in your HVAC and switch wiring. I can't find hte pictures now, but the job I did on hte HVAC area was sweet... I had a long row of parallel LEDs on a nice arc all along the hot/cold and fan speed areas. If anyone d/l'ed pictures at the time I posted them, feel free to post them.
Sorry for the long post, I didn't realize people were talking about my work.

Majin, if you did a DIY or walkthru on that and have the pictures somewhere, you better find them.
wink
And you know we'll all help you find that new Tib.`
Neo, those even look tighter than I thought! The silver is nice. This is gonna go with my color scheme VERY good.
