anyone used the UV bulbs yet? i was just wondering how they looked

Ben · 05-16-2009, 01:35 AM

The UV for the climate control would be very weak and have a lot of hotspots. The UV LEDs are not very bright

midnight372 · 05-16-2009, 03:14 PM

anyone taken apart mk1 controls? i decided i would take mine apart.. i found 1 bulb, but im wondering if there are any more under the board.. but i cant seem to get it apart.

hell_rider · 05-18-2009, 09:23 PM

what bulbs did you use for the 2 replaceable bulbs found in the heater controls? thats the only 2 i want to actually change . are they the NeoWedge Instrument SMD LED bulb maybe and most important what size ? 3mm , 4mm or 5mm?

also im gonna order the WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb (Cool White WLED-CW5) for the instrument cluster .

i wish i could send my units to you but it would cost a fortune just for shipping lol

Deucegonewild · 06-01-2009, 02:32 AM

Ben · 06-01-2009, 01:10 PM

Hi, hell-rider----did you ever find out what size NeoWedge bulb is required for the CC?

Does anyone know? I dont want to put in an order but dont know the size. Also, if anyone here live in San Jose, CA area and want to piggyback my order to save the shipping let me know within a day or so and you can pick them up from me. thanks

When I ordered some red ones for my cluster I got a set of UV ones also
the WLED-x5 LED Wide Angle LED bulb, I had to turn the brightness up all the way to see anything, it was a cool dark purple but after a while it just hurt the eyes. I took them out and put in my red ones.

darkturbo1 · 06-09-2009, 01:35 AM

anyone know the size for the NeoWedge for the CC replacement? thanks

EDIT: and the answer is..............................4mm.

I will be putting order in before going to bed.... pm or send me an email if you want to piggy back my order... thanks all

Hey Ben do you have any control units in stock, to complete and trade for a core?

Ben · 06-19-2009, 02:54 AM

Not a complete unit, but I do have a circuit board that I can send you. You can just swap the boards and mail me back yours

Jason.MZW20 · 06-30-2009, 02:06 AM

I did mine too during my V6 swap. It looks okay, but the replacement neo-wedge LEDs that replace the incandescent bulbs hotspot, as you can see. The camera also makes it look brighter than it is. The red surround was done by the previous owner, and it used to be everywhere. I replaced a lot of the poorly done, bubble-ridden red trim pieces with stock black. I kept the stuff that looked decent.

The gauges are electroluminescent overlays, switchable between blue and green.

And do ignore that old stereo head unit.

Ben · 07-08-2009, 12:59 PM

$60 shipped for the climate control and foglight. The ignition ring is simply a swap of a bulb - I can include the bulb, its about $2. For the cigarette lighter, I need the whole trim piece because I have to measure and customer cut the LED.

maddyfresh1 · 08-15-2009, 06:09 PM
