Hey i bought these pink led lights for my cluster & AC controls bc it said simple installation, but when i got them in the mail the instructions say i need to solder them in. and i have NO clue how to go about that. Any ideas would be appreciated thanks guys

 

Here's the thread on how to solder the LEDs...

And here's the thread on how to install...

If you still don't wanna do it, then get in contact with Garage1217 or LEDmod or engifineer...They can all help you...I would help you but I'm all the way in Houston...


On a side note, those pink LEDs will fade to white after a short period of time, there's a better way to do it, and to be honest, you probly could have saved some money if you would have bought it from one of the three guys I mentioned above...

 

whoever sold you those leds.. saying they were a "simple installation".. needs to be shot.

it's simple to people who know how to solder, but really not so much to those that don't. look at the links posted above, and if you're still having trouble figuring it out. lemme know.

 

thanks guys bunches, ill try & figure it out, wish me luck! & about the simple installation thing i was so mad! they said oh it will take no more than 15 minutes...yeah riight !!! i hope they dont fade too fast! they said their lifetime is like 5 x longer than normal. MORE LIES !! ill just be smarter next time. thanks guys

 

Yeah, they fed you some ____...If I was you I would get ahold of them and tell them you want your money back...And then just come to one of these guys and get it done by them...I'm sure someone will help you out after being through all that...I would, but like I said, I'm down here in Houston...

 

i wish i could !! they said you cant return if you dont like the product. the only time they will return is if its broken or the wrong thing, GAYYYYY!!! & plus its been well over a month, i just made an account on here like 2 days ago & never really knew about the forums so i guess its my fault lol

 

That sucks...you should tell them that they were false advertising, and to show you one person that can install those in 15 minutes...

 

Two things:

1) Pink LEDs will fade MUCH faster than almost any other led (which is due to the organic phosphorus they use).

2) An install CAN take 15 minutes, but as SquallLHeart said, its when done by a professional or someone who is experienced with LEDs.

I would say file a dispute with PayPal and eBay since they are misleading. If they say simple instructions, it should be able to be performed with few or no tools, and take someone with little car knowledge 15 minutes to perform.

 

Yeah 15 minutes if you are hauling ___, but not if you are taking your time to make sure every contact is soldered correctly and cleanly...

And yes, simple installs are usually reserved for plug and play applications...

 

its whatever. its not a huge deal i just want them in ya know

 

Well if you need any help then post in your regional section and see if anyone out there will give you a hand...

thanks =]

 

And if you don't post in there then Imma do it for you...We will get your LEDs taken care of damnit...I'll even do it pro bono if you wanna pay for the shipping, but I'm not sure if you have another car or not...

 

aww ! i dont even know how to go about doing that.

 

Don't you just hate BF's...That's why I don't have one, that and I'm a married man....Well if you wanna look into it just let me know...It's super easy to get your cluster out...That round bezel in front of the cluster just pulls right off, and then there's only one screw holding the cluster in, it should show it in one of those links I posted...

 

LOL ! aww thanks. i clicked on the link thingy that you gave me where it shows how & oh man i got confused. im very clumsy & i know id mess it up. sometime this weekend when i have more time ill really check it out & see if i can somehow do it. i just hate that orange lol. & my plastics on the inside are all painted hot pink so the orange really throws it all off

 

Yeah it definently makes a difference when you change those ugly oranges out...and did you buy enough LEDs for the AC controls also or just the cluster? And tell your BF to be nice to his girl and help with the cluster, at least help you take it out...

 

its alright ill figure it out without him. i got enough LEDS for all of the gauge cluster thingy like where the rpms and speed o & that stuff is & the ac controls. the only lights i couldnt get were the radio. but its ok cause in 4 months its my birthday & im just gonna buy a a double din lol, the one i want you can change the color to pink too so im excited

 

Damn girls and there pink...Why do you stay with him if he's such a tool? And as far as the LEDs go, did they give you any resistors...Can you post a pic of what all they sent you...

 

the LEDS are in his glove box & he works night shifts so i wont be able to post a pic till tomorrow. and pink OMG . once i have the money ,my tC's goin pink! not an ugly pink. like a bright highlighter pink with a candy coat clear. i have plans just gotta wait.
