Hey Dubt, after you take the screws out push down on the top of it, and pull out at the same time you have to put a little force into it. lol dont be scared it will come loose. When you used the flat head did you wrap it with tape? If you have more question let me know.

 

not the actual air director, the piece that goes around it. it will all come off in one piece.

 

I got 2 from auotlumination. One didnt work so you might think about getting an extra one or two.....just a thought. right now i have one super white and one amber....kinda cool how it fades from super white to orange....

I also just purchased the super white leds and recieved them two days ago, one of them didnt work and found out that there is a positive and negative and I flipped it around and it worked. Just and FYI

When I first put them in and tested them at night it was really bright in the center and dull on the edges, so I took them out and sanded them down to a cone shape and it was alot better. Now all I need to do is change the leds in the clock.

 

Thanks for the response. I tried rotating and swapping to a different location. Still didnt work. What kind of sand paper did you use to sand down the LED? How much do you shave off? Id like to do this....anything i need to watch out for? are they brittle when sanding? let me know.

I used some 220 grit sandpaper that I had lying around. No they are not brittle at all and takes very little effort to sand them. I think the hardest part was holding on to the little buggers. All I did was sand them as I rotated them in my fingers to round off the tops, almost kinda cone shaped. (if that makes sense. ) I also sanded a bit around the sides, just enough to dull the plastic to help diffuse light. As far how much to sand off, I would say just enough to give it the shape. Took all of a couple minutes per bulb to do.

 

too many pages so I am just gonna ask. Is it the same process for the xA as the xB??

 

Yes, Infini.

 

Lol, I found another post with xA pics I gotta try this! I also hope to change the colors of the upper part above the **** where the blinkers are. I HATE the Amber color and it does not mix well with my Red Gauges.

 

Woo hoo!! I just ordered mine! How long does it take to get them in?? And a really random question if anyone will know......are they the same bulbs that are needed for an FJ Cruiser as well?? I want to do my boyfriends FJ and surprise him!!

k, I just spent about thirty minutes trying to find you some info boxy and didn't have any luck. Sounded like the FJ people are all wanting to change the colors, but none have done anything about it. RockBlocker is trying to get smoe info on it though. You might hit them up and see if they found anything.

 

I went to Auto zone and picked up the 194 bulbs for the compartment under the A/C but can't get the damn piece off. Also I cant find the LED # or cover color there either.

Basically I am really lost about what to go get at Pep Boys or Auto zone since I am paying cash on most everything these days.

 

Which piece are you having a problem getting off Infini?

What color bulb covers you looking for?

If you're looking for the #74 led there, then you're out of luck. The only sources that I know of for that size led is online.

 

I guess I do not need to change the LED right? I can just take off the amber "cover" one and put on red ones? I saw red covers but for bigger bulbs.

I guess the thing is I want to change over the A/C color to Red and also the compartment below it + the area above it where the hazard button is.

But getting the A/C *** area color changed will be good enough, hehe.

 

Hey Leroy!! Thanks! That's very sweet of you.....or you were just really bored....whatever! Ok, but I just thought of something. Infini...have you ever heard of that colored saran wrap? I wonder what it would look like if you wrapped that around the bulb since you are having trouble finding the right size cover thingy (Has anyone found the right size???) So, I don't know if you want to try that out just to see, but it's worth a shot, right? And if you want some red bulbs, I'll order them for you, so you can still pay me cash? You want red ones right?

~Stephanie

 

LOL, that would be grand!! Yes "red". What meets will you be at this month! I can pay you back and buy you lunch

Do you know if they are different for the xA ?

 

How do the blue LEDs compare to the dark blue color available on the iPod headunit?
I was originally going to go to white, but after seeing the dark blue and amber from the HU I'm thinking of continuing that. I think a blue HVAC, blue/amber HU, amber clock, and maybe a bbist gauge face would be pretty sweet.

 

Haha! I'll get em for you!! We'll make a meet of our own! I can't really make it to any of the meets anymore because of work. It sucks. I am depressed because of it.

I'll get them for you as soon as possible.

Good to know I got people looking out for me here

Thanks Stephanie!

 

Well I was just going to do a quick search and ended up finding a forum and read and read and read. You know, kinda like here. You just look for one thing, but keep seeing other stuff to read.


The bulb covers are for a 194/168 bulb. I haven't seen any small enough to fit like the stock cover. The 194/168 covers just drop in the hole and do not actually slide over the bulb.
