If I'm thinking correctly this should be red and only about a foot and a half long. It goes from the block to the side of the engine bay. Its a ground

How many bulbs do you need to do the swap? Is it just one? And is it a pretty simple install? I was thinking of doing something with the gauges and I really like how those look.

I did the same swap, 5 bulbs in the cluster 2 in the HVAC. Your car is going to have a green film on the HVAC and gauge cluster though so you have to sand that off if you want them blue.

Here's what the gauges look like now before I take it apart to take the film off

so that's with the bulbs? do you need to be careful when sanding it so you don't hit whats behind the film?

fastpony · February 9th, 2012, 02:47 PM

No need to sand. Just pull your gauge cluster out and your hvac out and put in the x5 LEDs 194/168 from the link I gAve you before

Mr. Red Pony · February 9th, 2012, 04:30 PM

Picked up my block and dropped it off at work. Ganna start taking the car apart tomorrow after work.

southfour! · February 9th, 2012, 06:14 PM

pulled a lighted visor harness from a wrecked stang

my fish to get it under the headliner

halfway there, you can see the connector for the new harness and the stock one for the dome light

made it over to the drivers side

connecter to the mirror

spliced into the dash harness for power, cut the stock one and wired in this one to the wire running down the passenger pilar

sucess !!!

also did a bunch of other wiring

put in my gauges

and my moroso cover came in

will look much better once i clean the engine bay

and thats what i did today

You need to sand off the green tint from most new edges... They had green bulbs in yours

Sent from my phone, sorry for typos

255/40's fit fine on 17x8 wheels... I never had any rubbing. I went back to 245's though thought it'd make it ever so slightly quieter...

looked at it sitting under the car cover...
