I removed the stereo head unit.

 

That's awesome ! Well done

 

Talk to me about the leds in your gauge cluster? Looks awesome. So does the iPad setup. Never seen it done in an evo.

 

The ones in my Tach/Speedo are actually gauge overlays sold by a guy named Trustz (through ebay - http://www.ebay.com/usr/trustz)

I hated the red stock ones so I went with those.

Then I went through and replaced all the other little bulbs with blue LEDs. You can see the ignition ring LED in this pic as well as the HVAC. I also swapped the fog light / headlight leveler / ACD bulbs.

 

I am sorry it's so off topic, but how can I find the bulb sizes for all them? Thanks man. It looks great

 

Looks pretty damn slick!

With the bezel being so permanent, was there a reason you opted not to just wire in a charger?

 

These ones here are Neo3 LED's - I used 5, I bougth them from superbright LEDs (http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/l...r,NEO3,21,241: )
I bought the 3mm ones, work great, but I had to bend the connectors to go through the hole and touch the connectors on the backside of the board - then soldered them in.
You have to open up the switch housing.



For the HVAC ones it is size 74 bulbs - If you do LED ones, I recommend getting ones that point sideways, if you don't they wont illuminate properly - If you have a place you can purchase LED lights near you, I would recommend buying a few different ones and trying them - I bought i believe 5 different types before I found the ones I liked (which I got off ebay). Also note: Some might look purple vs blue.. so that's why I recommend trying them


And I also have the prosport gauges in blue.



With the size of the iPad to bezel, I would have to make a wider pan so I could slide the iPad onto the connector on the left, just wasn't.. really enough room. If I took the time and planned a charger into it it would probably work.

 

The ignition Keyring, Ashtray, and Cigarette lighter are also the Size 74


These are the bulbs I use (http://www.ebay.com/itm/261136245244...S:3160&vxp=mtr)

The only problem with those ones, is the part that slides into the connector was smaller.. so it wasnt a snug fit - I had to build up a small mountain of solder in order for it to wedge in snug - other than that, works great.

 

Awesome info man! I love that look.

 

bump for a very cool thread

 

perfect info!! my acd button bulb just died on me and I was looking at which bulb type to use!

 

good job ! looks good
