Talking YAY! Dirty Garage SC Photoshoot and Other Random Stuff Ive Been Up To

I figured this would be a good documentation thread for both myself and everyone else to be able to look back on years from now when my car has wheels and and a body kit.

Here's my custom 94 LED red cluster. I can assure you theres no dark or bright spots, what youre seeing in the pic is a mix between the light reflecting off of every single scratch on the cluster lens and the camera on my Droid sucking

correct me if i'm wrong, but after 97 or so, they started using cold cathodes so a simple bulb swap won't work. i think those are #74 bulbs though.

looks good, op, where'd you get the led's from?

The bulbs I used were the wrong size so I had to solder each one into place. And yes, your 98 is different, yours uses ccfl's instead of light bulbs

Its hard taking pictures of lighting, on most cameras. But hey I have a droid as well! Me like the cluster. Do the bulbs plug in and everything or do they have some like those that do. Only ones I have seen are the single bulb ones.

Nice dashboard! I'm glad I have a 93 and I could just plug n play the bulbs like you. Except I'm going with all white LEDs

damn those LEDs look good man, anybody know where to get a multi LED like a 5-led bulb in a #74 bulb? i just did a quick search on ebay and the closest thing i found is a 5-led bulb but its a 194 which would be to big.
