by dash lighting do you mean lighting behind the dash or the overhead lighting near the rearview?

I saw a thread some time ago that talked about led's installed to replace the dash lights (Not the map lights) and in the climate control lighting area. I thought it was here, but maybe another kj forum

That would be great!

Could you give me some specs on the LED's and where you got them?

TIA

They look better at night and as you can see I did not do the buttons in the middle of the EVIC I will do those when I do the gear shifter light.

I got the leds for the cluster from here these are them http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/T5-B85D-LED

And for the evic and hvac I got them at superbrightleds.com there the NEOx LED Bulb - High Power Instrument Panel LED bulbs

Now if only I can find away to make the display on the evic blue....Also make sure to order a few extra led's then you need for the cluster ask me how I know :lol:

that looks freakin sweet! now i need to do this. how hard is it and what bulbs?

I posted the site where I got the bulbs and it was easy you just have to be careful with the cluster you can break the led's if you rush that's why it is a good idea to order extra and the dimmer still works with them too if you were wondering

I may switch to white led's in the cluster like the newer jeep's The blue is distracting

How many bulbs are in the dash?

If my memory serves me right I THINK 9 Im not 100% sure but order extra's and I am also working on a way as we speak to change the color of the temp read out if it work's I will post a how to on everything...

Well I figured out the only color you can change the EVIC to is red and it's not that great...

Maybe some green LEDs to match that and the ODO, they wouldn't stand out as much as the blue but they'd be nicer than normal bulbs

The blue hvac lights and evic buttons are nice I like them but the cluster Is a strain on my eye's even if I dim them I will try red or white there very cheap to change but I am keeping the other's blue

I'd love to see red on the evic to match that read out! And red would be easy on the eyes in dim light for the dash.

You can make the evic layout red I posted a pic in this thread you can do it with stuff laying around it is just not as bright

so before i do this you are saying that the blue is too bright for night time driving? so if blue is too bright then white will be too and i didnt see green on the website...so red?
