You can order them on Amazon or other shopping services

Well then you wouldn't do anything because OEM is amber LEDs. The whole car is amber LEDs for the most part.

Wouldn’t be worth your money honestly. I value my time quite high and shipping back and forth would put the price way out of what it’s worth, in my opinion.

Even if I’ was happy to pay the costs & have everything done like you have on your own car light switches etc

I haven’t

Several years old xtrons android unit. They run in the $300 range

Eonon headunits are best for the e46!

Yeah

There is no particular link. Search on eBay or AliExpress and buy the LEDs you need for your project. If you need help identifying LEDs, a search engine will be your friend. Good luck with your project.

Thanks for your reply I will subscribe to you can you tell me the LDE You use on the M3

i also changed everything except fog light switch haha

Yes

Sorry, not taking on any work. Summer time is way too busy, I won’t be able to do it in a reasonable amount of time. It’s pretty easy to do. I bet you could do it.

PLCC2

I don’t understand the question.

@@CroVlado0510 when i disconnect the cables behind the A/C, i hear the AC in the car blow air.(on vens left and right)

Do you have your keys in the ignition and the ignition on? It shouldn’t do anything. If not, you may have electrical problems if it runs with no key in it.

Electrical problems

Probably blow the LED. Try it, find out.

I have a problem with only one window button on the right The led glow only for 0.2sec and then off i try all the swaps but still not working any ideas? Do you know what colors in cable have the power?

Does it turn on each time for .2sec and quit or does it stop working completely until swapped? Do you have it wired in correct orientation? I don’t know which color provides power but you should be able to find it pretty quickly with a multimeter

English?

@@CroVlado0510 I used blue ink from a pen I colored blue inside and it works very well

Great to hear

@@CroVlado0510 I have a small question for the meter lcd screen, is it possible to make the backgrounds black and the text white? I don't know if you know what I mean

It’s not. At least I couldn’t figure it out. The screen it shines thru is blue so whatever tint you put on top of it just causes different variations of blue or it gets way too dark and the text isn’t legible once you get enough tint behind it that the background becomes black.

Turn the needles over and cut red diffusion sheets in the shape under the needle so it fits over the center hole where it attaches to the cluster. Slide it in there and put a tiny dab of hot glue in there to hold it in place. If you cut it tight enough it can use surface tension against the hole to keep it inside but it’s though to cut that small hole perfectly. Hope that makes sense.

It’s red in the end. Not sure what display you’re watching on but it’s color accuracy may be off.

The LEDs are marked with a cut corner. They may but I don’t know if they’ll be the same brightness. Considering they’re a couple dollars on aliexpress there’s no reason not to use what you take out.

Thanks for your reply, i figured that out afterall. I managed to replicate your work fallowing your steps. Thank you for my ‘’new’’ cluster.

@@enciumarian2112 that’s great! Hope you enjoy.

This one is probably one of the easier ones honestly. Haha. The headlight switch and hazard switches kinda sucked tho

You broke two switches doing this? What broke?

Right.. I'd gladly send mine to him lol

Honestly I don’t think it would be worth the cost. Shipping from Germany to USA and all the way back would probably be expensive on top of cost to do this work. You can message me on discord if you want to talk about it CroVlado#8786

Yes

Appreciate it. My focus seems to be all over the price. Got some home projects to do, still have some more buttons and other car things to do, on top of just work and family balance. I need to finish up on the car soon.

I’m sure it’s possible. I didn’t try it that way tho. Sorry I can’t help on that. Not sure if the light diffusion will be the same. Give it a try. Let me know. May be the easier way.

@@CroVlado0510 Thanks for the fast answer. I ordered everything and will start with the tachometer. I will let you know how it worked out.

@@fenerbahce2 Hey, I know it is a year later, but did it work? Diffuser over the original led?

It wouldn’t work over the original orange LED; you would still have to change to white and then diffuse it over with blue-ish color so the more yellow color of the face would come out white.

@@CroVlado0510 I see. By the way, since you're here. Have you ever made this into a business aka do it for us (the ones that lack the skills, haha)? Do you take this service inquiries?

Maybe this winter, pretty busy with work and home projects at the moment

Most of this should apply as long as they use surface mount LEDs. Match the type of LED and take note of polarity and you should should be good to go.

What do you mean? Are you looking for the specific soldering iron I’m using or?

Lots of places. AliExpress, eBay, Amazon, LightHouseLEDs, etc.

@@CroVlado0510 can you throw me a link of the ones you used? Thanks!

I don’t have one. I just typed in what I was looking for in AliExpress and clicked the one with most sales and reviews. It’s all the same.

@@CroVlado0510 they are called SMD led right?

PLCC2 smd led

None in particular. eBay if you don’t want wait forever and AliExpress if you want it cheaper but don’t mind waiting. PLCC2 LEDs 3mm LED If doing it in white and your light switch is also made of a yellow plastic, rosco 3202 gel

@@CroVlado0510 do you use 12v leds or less?

@@georgimilev6786 these LEDs are 3V. Same as the ones that come out of the car just different colors. I believe all plcc2 LEDs are 3V.

I don’t have insta, I have fb mostly for some car groups. I don’t stay active on social media.

@@CroVlado0510 just messaged u on Facebook

Dont push the needle all to the bottom. This is the most mistake people do. Its stuck then...

For the cluster you only need PLCC2 (also called 1210).

@@CroVlado0510 OK cool.. What about the window buttons and heat and air control and the headlight switch

@@kevinsmith4924 I’ve made videos on the hvac and windows, working on the headlight, it’s a bit more involved.

@@CroVlado0510 yea I knw i just need to know what all kind leds for all of them so I can order me some

@@kevinsmith4924 it all depends on if you you’re going for direct swaps or more of a custom. Again if you watch and listen to the videos I did explain all of this. If you’re going for direct swaps you’ll need 3mm, 5mm, 0805, 1206, and PLCC2

Lol comment below asked same question. PLCC2

@@CroVlado0510 so plcc2 is for all of them

@@kevinsmith4924 for the hvac. Yes.
