LED Swap Diagrams (Gauges / HVAC)
#21
Also if I mix some white and some blue LED's, will the blue light bleed into the white? I ask because im gonna do a two tone for the gauges but would like to buy blue LED's for the warning and indicator lights. And what are the "SUB on/off LED's"?

I have a question about the different colors on the gauge cluster.
I plan on doing a blue and red theme, like the new Jettas, blue numbers, and red needles/redlines
When I am swaping out the LED's are there dedicated ones for the needles, and redline sections? If not, wont the red sections turn purple?
Also are there any other "shades" of blue out there? I have seen the blue swaps, but they all look too aqua to me, I want that rich deep blue like on the Jettas.
Thanks for any help, I really want to do this.

the blue on the leds are a nice blue in person... not really aqua like you mentioned.
there aren't really dedicated leds for the needles.. and the redline itself is part of the gaugeface.
hmm.. the redline doesn't turn purple when lit up by a blue led... dunno why, but it doesn't.

Thanks for pointing me to that site, the cluster looks good, but im still looking for something a little richer, more like a royal blue.
I could also do all white LED's and use a blue filter of some type, but I don't know where to get the filters?
I don't know where I saw it, but someone swapped in UV blacklight LED's, and thats the color I want. I just don't know where to get them, can somebody point me in the right direction?

Bingo, UV not good. Also uv is more of a shade of violet than royal blue... The led blue is an amazing blue. Look at most any blue led at an electronics store and that is the color you get. You could describe it in person as a candy blue.. has depth to it... Pics never show how good or rich it looks in person. Also the two color two tone that I make does use filters which is the only way to get the two seperate colors.
I have a huge assortment of items coming in to make new reliable non fading custom colors. I already offer deep purple, yellow and pink. The new colors I will be offering are....
aquamarine everything "looks sooo nice in person.. very soothing to the eyes"
Ice purple, which is somthing I am developing... Looks allot like the purple / white you see with oem HID kits..
Hot pink, almost a purple / pink color..
And working on some other sweet goodies

Do you have a diagram for the radio leds? and also, does the steering wheel controls just pry off the steering wheel? how exactly does that work. btw my gauges look very nice, ill see if i can get some pictures posted later.
