Intelliglow Needle Kit

[kzulfic]

Right now I don't know about the needle color, going to roam around the hobby store tomorrow, and find a nice fluorescent color to paint on the back.

alrighty,

Well, seeings how I'm trying to think of everything...

if I put led in my turn signal indicators, will i get hyper flash?

[kzulfic]

Shouldn't, the load is measured of of exterior bulbs.

[TruGreenGAGT]

no. only if you swap the actual siganls in head/tail lights with out proper resistance will that happen.

switch them in the dash affects nothing but your wallet.....

[bricooper78]

okay,

anything else I'm forgetting?

I think we've about covered this to death now, so *maybe* we'll help someone down the line

Which I myself have just learned a ton, but there was some I asked just to cover what I've seen elsewhere.

TruGreen and Kzulfic both get their "gooderest teecher of the day" awards

[TruGreenGAGT]

ya if the LED don't light take it out and rotate 180*

[bricooper78]

Oh yea! Thats another good one!!

And that reminds me, leds will work with the dimmer too

[kzulfic]

Yay, my good deed for the week is done. I can rest easy now.

I think that about covers it, besides what TruGreen just said about rotating the bulb.

EDIT: yes, they work with the dimmer.

[TruGreenGAGT]

yup

[bricooper78]

I think theres some helpful info here..

And I am in 150% agreeance Jim, for no more work than it is to do the blackcat overlay, there really isn't any reason to go about sanding and all the led work.

I learned my thing for the week, so I can tune out for the next 6 days or so

Also, the BCC overlays are really reasonably priced.

Yea, time not taken into account, if you bought leds for everything in there to change, you'd spend a good chunk of change, when in theory you can simply change your overlay and make a giant difference in what you're looking at every day.

Some bang for a buck (just like my mom )

For a little over a hundred bucks, them overlays relieve a lot of frustration. So you think they're worth it I assume?

[TruGreenGAGT]

no man LEDS and overlays....

very few stock bulbs left....actually **** now i think on it. next to none
my CC buttons, rear turn signals, and lower reverse lights are the only stockers....

[kzulfic]

Lighting wasn't that expensive actually. 44.82 for 20" of LED weatherproof flex strip, 4 #194 LED bulbs(green), 4 T10 twist lock bases, 1 #74(blue), 1 #74(green), and 1 #74(red). That includes shipping.

how much frustration did they give you changing them? some of us don't care, it becomes a matter of "winning" so to speak, then there are some who just want the results without having to do much

Haven't changed them yet. Should be doing it tomorrow. I have spare cluster though once you have the overlay out its all plug and play from there.

[kzulfic]

Here's what everything looks like. Everything is either twist out, twist in, or pull out, push in. Not a hassle atall.

[TruGreenGAGT]

you know theres two bulbs for the turn indicator.....one per each left/right
