I ordered all the leds to change the gaugeface, clockpod, and hvac controls from ugly orange to blue. Today i did the clockpod and when i was finished it wasnt as bright as i wanted, and it sorta was brighter in some spots then the others. i removed that white plastic piece in between the lcd screen and the blacking, as per the "how to" i was following. Should i have left that in so the light was evenly distributed? An another quick question. There was no amber filter that was somewhere in the screen was there. cause all i did was change the leds. thanks in advance for your help!:fever:

where did you get your LED's? superbrightleds.com? you probably got the wrong one. There's a 4 and 6 LED I believe. Anyway, you should've gotten the lower one. The higher one will produce those bright spots where as the lower one will distribute the light better...and yes you are supposed to remove the film behind the guage cover. I don't understand what your asking in that last part.

there is no amber filter in the clock pod as far as i can remember. There is one on the back of your gauges.....i also took the amber plastic off of my odometer.
