This is the dash lights that i replaced last week. I replaced just 4 T10 globes to LEDs, they could be a bit brighter.
Did you use SMD Leds or normal leds?

i reckon the cluster lights and the calipers both look good mate! With a bit of brake dust the brakes will get darker anyway

If you're able to change the trip display from green to blue as well, then that'll will look surprisingly good.
I'm not one for changing dash colours but don't mind that at all!
Calipers don't look too bad. Do you have a shot from further out?
Need a sound clip from the exhaust too
Yep i just need to work out which globes i need to replace and find some high intensity LEDs (i also need to find some high intense t4 LEDs for the HVAC as the ones i have now have hotspots), then i can do the trip display etc...
Here are some shots of the calipers from a bit farther out. Sorry about the pic quality (iPhone)..
And ill go out and do a soundclip now (how do i post it though)???

They are normal LEDs, which have six LEDs on each so that they look like a flower kinda haha. So the light output isnt focused...

I dont think we can change the trip display as the AUDM/ clusters are different to the USDM

Haha sorry mate i didnt recognise that you changed your name. my bad hahaaha.
yeah im pretty sure theyre different cause i couldnt find those two holes for the time/trip displays either. maybe you can take the rear cover off to change the globes? i remember some screws to take the back off but didnt manage to take the back part off when i had the dash apart.
Those smds look very tempting. i think i might need them a bit brighter too. speedo and tacho have very minor hotspots..
