I got 3 spare light bulbs if anyone wants them, the ones i used in my tutorial. Though u only have to pay for shipping....

It would prob. be cheaper to buy the bulbs urself... :)

Well I just got myself some little red condoms yesterday, time to go yank out those console panels

eTiMaGo · 11-15-2006, 01:16 AM

Done!

Thanks Hasher22, the pen was certainly a very useful tool for this

Also, word of advice, don't do any car mods in the middle of a hot, sunny day, I'm drenched with sweat now

hasher22 · 11-15-2006, 03:36 AM

YAY!!! PICS!!!????

eTiMaGo · 11-15-2006, 06:51 AM

ta-daah!

grimez · 11-15-2006, 10:17 AM

Would these be a direct drop in? If not, which neo wedge bulbs should i order from that auto-illumination site?

vodkalush · 11-15-2006, 10:37 AM

yup those will work

grimez · 11-15-2006, 01:13 PM

I ordered one of these for the shifter.

And 3 of these for the knobs.

This all work out okay?

they won't be very bright at all though
i did the interior on my last car using them little colored lights and eventually switched to LED because the colored bulbs were to dim

grimez · 11-15-2006, 04:35 PM

Ya, i saw that I had linked to those bulbs, so i switched, and ordered the LEDs. I hope they will work out.

eTiMaGo · 11-15-2006, 09:34 PM

LEDs would certainly give a much brighter result, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out on mine :)

grimez · 11-23-2006, 07:21 PM

After receiving my LED's a while ago, I just now got around to installing them. I was worried that I was going to have to remove the bulbs and swap them into the existing black plastic pieces... but the ones I ordered required none of that at all. The process actually went a lot smoother than I expected.

I did run into one problem however... I wanted to change the bulb in the shifter of my Automatic, but I couldn't find a way to get that small piece of plastic on the top off. I removed the cover to manually release the shifter, but that got me nowhere. Can anyone guide me to changing this bulb?

Here is a pic I took of the knobs after installation. Sorry for the quality, but its a phone cam in the dark.

vodkalush · 11-24-2006, 10:22 AM

its a beotch to remove that center piece... there are 4 snap points that hold it down (us a flathead to release the hold points) then lift and go either forward or backward with the newly loose and lift; taking it out is actaully easy, its putting it backin thats a bitch... but you really just do that opisite of what you did to remove it

hope this helps

edit: White Power!!

grimez · 11-24-2006, 02:14 PM

Are you talking about the small center piece with the P-R-N-D-3-2-L letters on it? Are the hold points straight down the sides? Is there any way to remove them without gouging the crap outta the plastic?

vodkalush · 11-24-2006, 03:56 PM

yah, dont jab the the plastic... there are only 4 tabs one just inside on each corner on the "long sides." you pop the tabs and pull up alittle

grimez · 11-24-2006, 05:41 PM

Alright, im sick of beating up my car, im going to try to get the entire center panel off. There has to be something I am missing, cuz this is a huge pain in the ass.

grimez · 11-26-2006, 12:38 PM

Anyone know if there is a way to change the light in the Lock - Unlock button in between the seats? Right now its about the only ugly green light I gotta get rid of.

haha, I was thinking the same thing. After my radio and gauge color change I'll be tearing apart the switches, hopefully its somthing easy like the knob lights; but prob not.
