Nope... not even a nibble!!! It isn't your "standard" Vette so it may take awhile for someone looking for a weekend track car/show car to find it or I'm asking too much for it... I'm not exactly a motivated seller either if you know what I mean!

Did you see the For Sale post?

Actually I did... and I DO know what you mean... That is a good way to be... Patience Grasshoppa...

 

Amen brutha....

OK... Back to our regularly scheduled programming!

 

Hopefully someone can direct me to the right direction, i jus had my hvac get in led upgrade, i love the way it came out and am happy with it. But i wanted to do a bright white led set up with only the a couple of leds in different colors but the rest of the hvac white. They came out a baby blueish color. I removed the plastic piece to the shifter to replace that led with a bright white 194 and that also came out baby blueish. I actually took a liking to this and would like to replace the rest of the switches with this color, would buying blue leds from oznium (since they r plug n play) be good and change the color to this baby blueish or would they be a darker blue? Thanks in advance

The baby blue hue is the result of a blue filter on a pure white light source. You should be able to replicate this on your other lights using the blue bulb filter found on the filament bulbs and placing them over a white bulb-style LED (it would work on chip style, but wouldn't be as easy to keep the filter mounted)

 

Whoever did your HVAC should have discussed this with you first to warn you that White LEDs in the Radio/HVAC turn out Blue/White or Ice Blue...

As RF said you would have to tint the LEDs in the remaining switches with a Blue Film or stain like a Blue sharpie perhaps. The problem is that every damn switch is different in material and thickness of material making it extremely difficult keeping the same hue throughout the car, that's why I stopped doing White on a normal basis!

FYI the Dimmer switch also has Blue film embedded in it while the HUD switch does not...

Thanks for the replies radioflyer and tstar, i should have jus went with an all blue interior, more than likely what i will end up doing and the jus leave the hvac that color.

 

Hello everybody ! I need some help with my mirror LED's.

I purchased these here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170875083885...84.m1423.l2649

They work fine and are very bright.



My problem is they are really loose, they do not fit my 1997 C5 mirror very well. I took the mirror off the windshield and tried to squeeze the connectors together so I could get a tighter fit but they are still loose. Only so much those would come together until they would pop right back to their original shape. I looked at this list and bought the 42mm Festoon bulbs but it seems the girth or diameter of the bulb socket is just too small, they could even be a bit longer and would not have a issue. I even had to try and slide them to one side really far to try and get them seated. I took it for a spin last night and before I got home one of them had worked its way loose.

So do I need a different bigger bulb? I have plenty of room in there! haha

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is some more pics, I replaced my footwells with White and my rears with Blue. Gotta still do the panels which I am going to do with white.





These match my amps really sweet. The PowerBass name lights up in blue on these when they are powered on.



What is the best place to get the neo-wedge type b's from these days? I need them for my doors, dash panels, shifter etc....

I ordered too small of a bulb. I for some reason had it stuck in my mind 42mm and I needed the 44mm bulbs. Thanks for the link! I will get some of the right ones ordered.

 

I had a question i did these mod and it turn out bad but my real question is would you know why my lights dont light up in the car also my buttons dont work on the radio i tested the leds with a 9v and they all work

 

As I mentioned in the other thread and may not have been totally clear on, since you did not disconnect the front panel from the main circuit board when testing with the battery that may have damaged the main circuit board.

ebay $15 bucks shipped for the pair. Its like daylight in my car..Don't mind the wiring mess I was installing boost/fuel gauge. That strip is plug and play

 

Good stuff!

 

Bump for this thread! I was stumped trying to figure out how best to make the TC/AH button light up better and this thread came through.

 

This is an awesome thread! I may have missed it, since the thread has so many pages, but is there a way to change the color that the HUD displays? I think a blue display would look great.

 

Not that I'm aware of but I haven't torn one apart yet either. The other displays (Radio and HVAC) are sealed units and can not be changed.

I'm finally getting to work on the C6 stuff and I changed the display color on the HVAC easily, they are back lit LCD displays and I simply swapped out the backlighting PLCC 2s...

Anyone replaced their orange "floodlight" with another color and have a picture? I'd like to replace with something in the orange/yellow range, but just would like something a just smidge brighter.

Any suggestions?


Edit: Is this still correct mod for the LED board in the mirror?



Thanks guys

 

Yes, Although you dont need to do it for red. Works like a charm!

 

Planned to do white which is why I was asking. Always have to pick the hardest of the options!

Now just have to find a replacement LED for the shift illumination LED that is yellow/orange'ish, but brighter than the stock one and i'll be golden!
