Custom guage cluster finally done!
im 5minutes away from mach 3
Glad I found this...I really like the amber lighting, but I know when I install the new sound system, I might have to switch out the amber for blue (or whatever the primary blinky blkinky color is). LOL
Good stuff!

Interior Lighting
I have no knowledge whatsoever on how to customize the lights of my interior for my G35 2003 Coupe. I have done alot of research and based on what I know can you please let me know How many leds did it take to do the whole job? Including the center dash, clock, Cluster's.
All I know is that the first step is
1) Disconnect the battery before I do anything.
2) Purchase the Weller wlc series iron for soldering
3) For the cluster what I have to do in order to get that Blue(Numbers) and The Ticks(white) Look? Do I have to get different acrylic sheet (white/blue) to place in front of the LEDs to diffuse the light.
-What Do I need to do in order to change the area where it displays your Kmxx to Yellow?
Tokyo Blue ( is this enough material )
-Do I also Need to purchase acrylic sheets for the center console area?
4) These are surface mount LED for the center console. Are these the correct LED for it?
Link 1 - 0805
Link 2 - 0805 (APPARENTLY NOT IN SERVICE)
6) Site to buy ???
Seat heater switches - 3mm
Shifter lights - 5mm
Cigarette lighter ring - 5mm
VDC/Dimmer - 3mm's
Gauges - 8mm
Clock - 5mm
Key ring - 5mm
What are 330ohm-510ohm resistors used for? Do I need It? How many would I have have buy?
