just tried to take a photo but my camera wont even pick up the lights lol and ive just got the car so will look into if maybe the boost guage is hooked up via the lights also going to turn off the fogs lamps and see if its any brighter but i suspect it wont make a difference

Ok pulled the cluster out and went to work (repco) had a look at bulbs but basicly found nothng brighter

Although most the bulbs had a black oil film to them so i might replace them

All in all i think i will invest in led bulb

The bulbs it had were t 5 mainly it had 1 t10 and a couple of t6.5s

would be super good if you could give us a photo of what your new bulbs look like on the cluster and provide part number of bulbs used =)

sweet will do no doubt ill prob order them out of china so wont have part numbers but any leds that are t5 and t6.5 and t10 are the ones to buy to fit the cluster

but when i do i will order multi side leds so that there are no "hotspots" on the cluster as i find that to look rather tacky

get the lamps in white (clear) there is a thin green film on the back of the speedo cluster face that gives the colours to the dials.

if you lift the dial face slightly, slip some fine grit sandpaper under it and take the green coating off, you can change cluster colour with coloured lamps...

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
