Hey guys, did a search but only found stuff on 2nd gen, and didnt really get the answers i wanted

I am interested in replacing the instrument cluster lights with white leds, aswell as the number plate lights, and parkers.

Which ones do i need, i know its t5/t10, just not sure if there are any variations of these, and which ones go where.

Any help is appreciated.

im not too sure what bulbs they use, im pretty sure they use the tiny ones and the bigger ones.

best thing to do is to unscrew the cluster, unplug it, and check what & how many you need exactly.

Ashneel did this in his car, replaced them with blue LED's ill get him to jump on if he has any info

im pretty sure the number plate lights are T10's, but its easier just to take it out n check just to make sure. same goes with the centre console and cluster, take them out and check exactly what you need, that way when you have to put the lights in you know exactly what your doing and you would get it done quicker as well. :D

or if you want, you could give me a yell n i'll give you a hand.

Thanks for the help guys, will go about getting some t10s for the number plate lights to begin with, then ill look into the roof light (forget what it is called) and the dash, maybe some parkers/globes too for the front.

t10 on the main dash lights, but the small ones like the indicators are much smaller, im unsure what size exactly.

With the cluster make your you get 5 or 6-tip wide angle T10's. If you don't the cluster won't light up evenly.

Yeh im thinking white for the number plate lights and interior, even cluster, thought maybe blue would look a bit cheap and nasty.

Nah i actually think yours looks good, mainly because it suits the head unit, i just got the stock sound system atm so a blue cluster would look a bit out of it.

I may go blue depending on my future sound system plans.

I got the wide angle 3-way leds in my A/C control, and trip meter and 12 cm led strips in the tippy control

Blue or white looks great in the instrument cluster irrespective of your stereo....

If you think blue is over the top just go for white, really brings up the look of your dash at night
