Sounds to me like you are too damn nice for a guy like him....Well just let me know about the lights...I posted a thread over in your region for you, hopefully someone there can help you out so it will be easier on you...And there is a much better way of doing pink instead of those "pink LEDs" they really will fade over time, but if money isn't an issue for you then just throw those away and get a different set-up, all the parts that you need should be around $50 if you install them yourself, which I know you won't, but maybe you can find someone to do it cheap for you since you've already got the run around once...

No problem...I'm always here to help...Like I said, for the materials through the guys here to get it done right would have been right around $50...so if you decide to go that route just let me know and I will lead you in the right direction...

I always stock the pink vinyl, white leds and all parts. I am sure these guys can help you out as well without an issue If you have even a slight question on the install, leave it to some of the pro's on here.

And sounds like an ebay led deal. That guy is full of BS. No one can do an led swap on the HVAC & gauge cluster properly in 15 minutes period. Not even me and I am darn good haha! And I know they did not sell you the required resistor / power ic kit for the hvac. They never do that and claim you do not need it, but in fact you do need it / it is required for any color but red.

Best of luck to you!

He's talking about doing a custom setup using all white LEDs and then applying vinyl to the back of the gauges where you want it to be pink...Check it out...

I like how you even added the touch of the temp indicator having the lil white wave, lets you know that it's a custom job...

Send a PM to Garage1217...

And as far as you having to drive it daily...You don't need your cluster or HVAC, granted you will just have to judge how fast you are going, and you won't have AC, but you would still be able to operate the vehicle as normal...
