    Default LED swap gone wrong! Shocking!

    Im all for guys doing LED swap on their own or having a friend do it for you BUT just make sure you know what you're doing!!

    Otherwise pay a professional to do it: Me, Squallheart, Garage1217, LEDmod, or engifneer. We can all take care of your swap properly so things like this wont happen to you. Do it right the first time, to save you from the headaches!


    This is what I discovered when I opened up the HVAC and gauges:

    Bent the LCD screen back so the installer didnt have to desolder the screen. In the process burned the LCD screen holder.


    What is this?!? JDM LED's? why are they crooked and have became an AMD (air mounted LED!)


    Forgot two LED's... + solder splash!


    Note: the HVAC didnt have a resistor kit installed and there was also one broken needle. :shock:


    Time for a major turn around:

    Most people don't realize that there is technique involved in soldering. Also, a steady hand tends to help out.

    Why green? Is that the JDM color? BTW, nice job, I've never seen a semi DIY on this before.

    The owner just wanted green.

    I offer about 10 different colors in stock and about 25 more custom colors available.

    More examples:
