How to convert your cigarette light to LED.

[corolla man]

I have those T5 LED's mate. Well they are sort of the same, mine has a rounded top, yours has a flat top. Hmm might order some and see

With the duct tape thing you are talking about, yes it stops the circle

But then there is a big splotchy patch on the clock when the light is brighter all around it and honestly looks worse than the circle itself!

I think i have the solution

I brought just a regular T5 Blue LED

Got some masking tape and covered it up and put it back in the clock

While not perfect, its certainly an improvement on the big bright circle

Its a bit fiddly to get the masking tape right so I suggest stripping the clock right down or at least taking it out of the dash so your not constantly moving a dash around and just have a play around. You will get the desired results because the masking tape still lets most of the light through just somehow stops the circle for the most part

Don't use electrical/duct tape it just looks horrible

The T5 LED which I covered in a small amount of masking tape

The result which I'm pretty happy with

Can't wait for my Wide Angles to get here, might finally be able to finish my dash colour change after months of trying to get it right

Oh wait, now the cluster haha

sorry i made a mistake when trying to reply,

Did you use the original T5 socket for the clock? Or do you need a new socket to the fit the LED?
