This service is no longer available as of 2/5/09

Some pics of my kit. Also realize taking pics of small red buttons isnt easy, esp. since I was in the dark taking these...camera tends to pick up light much differently.

A message from the first customer :)
fastcb (through LightWerkz) performed a red-out service on my HVAC, window switches, I/C and Fog light switches. I also did the key ring and cig lighter with the provided red bulb condoms. Cory (fastcb) did an amazing job and I'm really, really happy with it.

I recommend this service to anyone considering 'redding' out their interiors, but don't have the ability/tools/time to do it.

Anyway, it was a very easy transaction - removal and shipping instructions are given, and the turn around time is very quick. As you'll see below, the outcome is amazing. This truly has transformed the interior of my car.

No more "ugly" (:lol:) green bulbs or lights.

Thanks cb.

bump!

bump!!!

umm kinda off topic but didnt really find a thread on this but, i have a 2002 wrx and dont have a light up key ring, I was wondering is there anyway i can get one added on. thanks

does anyone know???

sorry no idea :(

anyone eles kno if it is possible to get the key ring light

Bump!!

bump!

Hey where's the love? I am all ready to start modding interior pieces! You guys won't be sorry!

CB

how about the gauges for an 02? I paid $7 for bulb condoms and did the rest myself and changed the color of the radio and gauges lcd screens. The only thing that doesn't look quite right are the gauges themselves ( not a bright enough red) didn't sand the backs though.

hey Caesar, for the 05+ HVAC, do you only put in the condoms? coz it looks kinda dark in some area on the pic above. lmk coz I'm interested :) thanks

On the HVAC two new red LED's are put in.

I just uploaded some new pics up top!

Nice work. I like the stuff that you do.

how about the gauges for an 02?

I'd like to know too.

so..how much in total for the following?:

Fog Switch
IC Switch
Headlight Adjust Switch
Door Panel Switches
(06 STI)

Cheers,



Alex

BTW, that those angel eyes you did on the 06 look nice. Like the way your car looks too.

i highly recommend getting your car red inside! I love the look so much more than the green lights

It looks really good, it would def make the interior of my WRX look better.

awesome, thanks for the info, I'm gonna send my hvac to you soon coz I need to drive the car until next week. thank you

Hey just wondering can this be done with any color? I want this look just with the Blue Autometer Cobalt look.

have you guys started doing the entire radio red yet? or still havent figured out a way?

what would cost be for
guage cluster
radio
hvac
window switch
plus the colored condoms??
and what can i expect turnaround time wise?
makes the car hard to drive when none of this is in it

wow really makes me want red now

Red and other "warm" colors are actually better for night driving anyways. Your eyes recover faster from looking at them than "cool" colors (greens and blues). However, I still just really like the way it looks anyways. :)

Hey everybody! This service is really taking off. We have some really cool stuff for non-STi guys coming soon! Stay connected and we will post our offerings very soon!

CB

Bumperoo for a great service!

CB

Can you mod my cluster so it lights red instead of green?

I broked'id my first one.

Any way to wire in a red key ring, I miss having a key ring light on my subie.

Damn, I want this done soooooooooo bad!!!! Couple of questions though first.

1.Can i get the instructions for removal?
2.Looks great, but how will the colors hold up over time? Fading?
3.What is the wait time on this? Is there a waiting list yet?
4.Off topic, but maybe you guys would know! driverside window switch has auto roll down. Is it possible to add this to the Passenger side by just plugging in another driverside auto switch or is the switch on passenger side different on the bottom or different wiring?

Thanks! looking forward to having this done as soon as I can!!!!!

Bump! for a GREAT SERVICE and PRICE!!!:banana:

Thanks for the interest!

1. The instructions are emailed to you by Lightwerkz once you decide to use the service.

2. As far as fading, LEDs are used in the window controls, h/l level switch, & HVAC controls-no fading there. Wherever condoms are used, the bulbs are colored red before applying the condom to enhance coloring and prevent fading.

3. At this time, there is no wait time. Two customer's pieces were recieved at the end of Tuesday and shipped at noon today.

4. I do not have an answer as far as changing the p/s window control to auto-rolldown. If you found a button that was a direct fit and the wiring supported such function, I think it would be a go! I do know there is no light wiring and no ability to add lighting to this switch at this time due to the design of the switch on the p/s window controls.

Please contact Lightwerkz to intiate the process!

Thanks again.

Yes, we can mod your guage cluster to red. What year? Can you afford the down-time?

CB

Bump this thing up for a service that rocks!

We are consistently turning parts around within 24hrs.

CB

Bump is correct, Sorry Ive been swamped guys. All PMs have been answered!

looking forward to a package for the 02 WRX

*subscribed*

Bump this service! We look forward to serving the community!

CB

k, ive got a 98 2.5RS, waiting on my 98 STi cluster, can you change it to red, and how much will it be, turnaround time and guarantee of work, its not like the 98 clusters are easy to come by........

Please send me some pricing info on redding out my MY00 RS gauge cluster.....;) Thanks

can u do the same thing but with a blue color to match my defi blue racer guages?? pm me if u can with a price pls!!

To all three previous posts; Yes, we can do gauge clusters in red and blue. The cost at this time is set at $85 for a cluster. Please contact Lightwerkz to begin the process.

Turnaround time is usually 24 hours or less. All work is guaranteed to work and if it fails, we fix it.

CB

I need my 05/06 havoc/window switches done to match my STi cluster.

I'm located in NY but don't really want the down time. Do you guys have any spare units and charge a core charge? Or maybe if I can just come to you guys and get it done. (not sure how long it would take you)

Just to clarify, from what i remember only the drivers side window switch lights up. Are you guys modding it so that all 4 buttons on that same switch lights up?

Thanks,
Alan

Sorry no core exchanges, and the parts are shipped to TX, not our NJ address.

The passenger side window switch does not light up at all, and yes all the buttons on the drivers side do.

bump for recommendation.

We just completed a complete bulb-to-LED conversion on an '04 STi HVAC and it looks AWESOME. Additionally, we are completing the final details on Bugeye and other model gauge cluster conversions. Anyone interested in all blue interior? Email @ sales@lightwerkz.net

CB

Any interest in the bugeye conversion. We are also working on converting clocks and stock head unit displays to red (or blue, etc.)

CB

curious to know if you've guys have done anything for us guys with the older style hvac like the 02-04 wrxs? I'd love to get mine white.

Read post #45 above /\/\/\:)

CB

I just received an '02 bugeye gauge cluster today that will be used to start the bugeye cluster conversion/core swap service.

Who wants to be first? Blue or red?

CB

haha yeah I read it, but didn't really read it. ya know?
I'll be watching this thread to see how it comes out. I really want white led's in the hvac on mine but know its not quite as easy as the 04sti's or newer style hvac controls.
I successfully scraped off the green on my cluster so I'm just waiting for mechie to finish getting the leds ready and the white wrx cluster I've always been wanting will be mine:D
Hope you guys have some good results on the older style hvacs.

last one is a bit blurry as I was driving. first one is a time lapse image so it's lighter than in real life.

Search for threads I started and you'll find a DIY guide to how I did mine.

Still working on the bugeye cluster core swap concept! We are converting 2-3 STis per week and everyone is pleased!

CB

Bump because your new website is so much better than before!

do all four switches on the window controls light up? from what i can tell only the driver one has a light, do you add lights to the other 3 or am i just not seeing it?

Yes, adding 3 lights

Bump this back up to the top. Actually, we replace the two red LEDs in the window controls w/red ones and then add three more.

CB

Hey Caesar, Is there anyway possible for me to stop by clifton and have the color changes done? I'm 10 minutes away from clifton. I would love to get my cluster, and all the lights on my 04 wrx changed to red. Could you please PM me?

Steve
NJIC #38

Sorry the interior changes is the only service that is performed in Tx.

got my lights back and they look awesome! can you change the dccd button from orange to red?

back in action!

Just got back my lights....Look awesome...Great Job

Nice stuff Caesar. I have blue in my interior now but may go with red down the road and have you do the work.

Free bump for a great vendor who did and amazing job on my s2k retrofit jdm lamps.

;)

BTW, is there any way to mod the red STI cluster to blue?

There are two ways.

1: De solder the red leds and solder blue leds in place. Unless you pay for the expensive 2 volt blue leds, the standard 3.6 volt blue's won't light up all the way and may be dim (mazda 3 owners do this

2: Desolder the red leds, wire in white/blue/whatever color led you want, with by tapping power from somewhere else.

With both ways, leave the red leds under the redline.

Has anyone done either of these? Doubt it.

You want to take a crack at it for me if I send you the cluster (obviously for compensation).

BTW, is there any way to mod the red STI cluster to blue?

We are debating whether to offer the cluster service or not. Clusters are VERY sensitive instruments that stand a good chance of being damaged during the intense process of conversion. I for one do not want to be in the business of buying replacement clusters.

That being said, we can convert any cluster to any color. How much do you want to pay? We have offered conversions for $85. These take in excess of 8 hours to perform. I normally make $30/hr in my "day job". So, to make it worthwhile, we need to charge around $250 for a cluster.

CB

^^^ I'm sending a PM now.

Not sure if I'd want to take up an STI cluster now since I'm a little busy with standard conversions.

Fastcb...I understand you. I've been doing a few of these and I end up making ~ $4/hr when all is said and done. Far cry from my normal salary. Still, I look at it like this at times: I'm either making money while watching TV, or I'm not. Either way it's extra money. Problem is, sometimes vegging out and doing nothing is better.

Well, I changed my mind on the STI cluster anyway. I'll be getting an 04 WRX cluster and going that route. Can you guys mod an 07 radio to be blue also?

Well, I changed my mind on the STI cluster anyway. I'll be getting an 04 WRX cluster and going that route. Can you guys mod an 07 radio to be blue also?

Yes, we can. We need to purchase some lighter (read: not dark) films and we will be set.

CB

CB

Ok, cool. PM me a price, a paypal address, and a shipping address and we're all set. You should know, I already have blue in my interior and I would like to match it up. Would you like me to send you my existing stereo too? Otherwise, you may need to redo my HVAC bulbs too in order for it all to match. LMK.

Chris im sending you an email. All payments and customer correspondence must go through me.

No problem Caesar. I got your email and we can handle the rest off-line.

i totally screwed my cluster trying to change the lights... Wish there was a service like that here in the Netherlands :'(

how did you screw it up? I've found you may think its screwed up but it likely really isn't. just don't pull out the needles whatever you do.

That's why i was so sure i screwed it....

is the red light mod service still available? I will need a HVAC conversion, the three knobs only for 05 sti.

Yes, the service is still available and going strong! We have completed 3 customers just this week, including one plug-n-play blue cluster conversion.

Bring it!

CB

do you guys have the ability to mod the 04 wrx hvac controls to light white? I'm talking a bright completely even lit white.

Do you have any pictures of work that you've done to mod a WRX to look good with Defi BF Whites?

Do you sell a do-it-yourself kit.

Curious to see how the HVAC lights look in white. The pictures posted above of the red looks kinda dark to me.

Dim you mean?

Trust me its the camera. Its hard as hell to pick up the colors properly...

wow, i think im gonna send in my head unit and some switches! The cluster would have to wait becuase i dont know how i could drive without it lol.

So is this still available? If so you have a PM. Please PM me back with info. Thanks!

Email Sent. Need Hvac Turned Red Via Leds, And Anything Else You Can Suggest To Do To The Interior Or Exterior.
Lmk

Just a heads up I will definetly be turning all my ugly green lights to red with you guys! I dont have time right now but I will send you info and such so I can remove everything. Well actually not everything because I still need to drive the car almost everyday so the gauge cluster will have to wait.

Anyway I could make an appointment to meet with you guys to do the service in person.

I'm located in NJ, and was wondering if this is an option.

If you guys prefer to do it via mail that's fine. Just wondering...

Its not really an option unless you want to take a road trip to TX :)

Its not really an option unless you want to take a road trip to TX :)

Absolutely! As a matter of fact, I have a cluster right here not converted. I can convert it, charge you a core, and send it out to you. When I get yours back, I refund the core.

No down time!

Any pics of the white conversions, other than Mechie3's?

How much do you charge to add lighting to the other switches on the drivers side switches and, if possible, the passenger side. Ideally I'd like every window switch in the car to light up...is this possible and what would you charge. Is this something that I could do myself? Not sure if I can ship all my switches out to texas and not be able to roll my windows down. :)


Rudi

Any luck on changing the clock to red??? Let me know, very interested.

^^believe that requires either modding an EVO clock to fit, or cutting the face of the clock, adding clear plexi with red paint/film.

Any luck on changing the clock to red??? Let me know, very interested.

What Mechie3 said plus this:

We are not going to sell some homemade piece of poo to our customers. The clock face has chamferred rectangular holes for the set buttons and "H", "M", and "SET" silkscreened onto the face. We would only deliver an exact comparison, only red (or blue, etc.). This requires working with an injection molding company to develop a prototype lense, paying a prototype fee, paying hard tooling costs, and paying for a certain minimum quantity to start selling.

We continue searching for a solution for the clock AND the OEM head unit and will let everyone know when we have it!

CB

I sent my HVAC and drivers door switches to Lightwerkz so they could change the color to red and add LED's to the drivers door. WOW what an amazing job. Now I want to do the fog light switch and front passenger door. Now that everything but my cluster is red my blue Pioneer radio kinda stands out. :/

Oh yeah and I also got in the JDM silver HVAC rings. I decided to leave the center section the way it was. Overall I'm extemely pleased with the results.

Big thanks to Caesar and Cory and double thanks to Cory for quick turn around time and awesome work.


Here are the pics.


Taken in the daytime with the headlights on to show how much brighter the center button light is. Remember how dim the stock Amber LED is in the daytime with the lights on?

If I decide to get JDM HVAC controls in the future, would I have to send them out and get them redone? I think I'm going to have the following things sent out to you guys while my car goes into the shop.

07 WRX LTD

Gauge cluster $125
HVAC controls $35
Window control switches $25
Foglight & Windshield De-icer switch $20So $205 plus shipping?

I think the JDM controls are just the knobs and if that is truly the case, then you would not have to send them back in for conversion. The LEDs are on the control board.

LOL. We have never converted a windshield De-icer switch before. All switches with one bulb are $20 and switches with two bulbs (auto intercooler, fog) are $25.

We look forward to serving you! Contact sales@lightwerkz.net to begin the process.

CB

BTW, I converted my clock to red this week! I am having some lenses made.

The method will be the "cut the center out of the existing lense" style but with extreme high quality that will look completely factory.

I am also having some red OEM (05-06) head unit lenses made.

Very soon we will have the total package!:D

CB

Is it possible to change an 03 cruise control switch idicator light from orange to green to match the other switches...

^^^ Yes.

bump for update

Bump...

Excellent and Nice work from Cory I just sent my stuff to texas and in 24 hours it was done.. excellent service!!

I will agree with some guys here Cory, maybe you can make the centre hvac controls as bright as the centre leds, as an option?? or a little bit brigther..... that will look awesome... or maybe just remove the green filter from the controls will do the trick?

Maybe the passenger switches could get the stock lenses apearance from a stock subaru driver side switch?? just a suggestion if possible..?? more money of course but it will match the whole interior

Bumps up for an excellent service!!

DJ

or maybe just remove the green filter from the controls will do the trick?

DJ

The green "filter" is actually the green plastic the knob faces are painted onto. there is no way to remove the green plastic short of a completely custom injection molded piece that would cost $$$thousands$$$$.

CB

right right.... sending my stuff tomorrow then... :=)

Thanks

DJ

I will wait a bit more to send my stuff, I`ll be in the states next week..

We now have in stock red lenses for the OEM clock and the '05/'06 stock head unit!

Just received my door control piece with red LEDs, and it looks great! VERY bright tho. In fact, I did not realize HOW bright it is.

Yeah I have been keeping up with the thread, and I saw the above pictures, but I guess I did not realize how bright the lights were in the picture.

Any suggestions for toning it down a bit? Daytime is fine, but it is night driving that will be the killer. As it is, I shut off my AP and hide my Pioneer headunit. Which brings up another question...

I talked to Caesar about this, but he did not have a definative answer. Can you modify lighting on non-OEM headunits? This is what I have: http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q90/aboothman/Car/DEH-P7800MP_MAIN.jpg

Cory's been using some new LED's...he was very excited about them! bright is good!

Hey guys , i noticed that my 07 STI head unit is slightly different to the 05/06 you have posted . Do you have the lens for an 07 head unit with the Serrius ready in it ? As for my cluster , the only green light is the headlight on indicator- would I have to send the whole cluster out to change just that one light? And how about the 07 clock that has the passenger side airbag on/off light? Let me know cause I would like to get everything done.

Pm me price on everything: 1-radio (including lens if you have it for my unit)
2-Ac/heat nobs
3-all 4 window switches
4-headlight indicator in the STI cluster
5-cigarrete lighter
6-keyhole light
7-fog light
8-headlight leveler
9-intercooler sprayer
10- clock (if you have the lens) and
11- DccD switch.

The '07 head unit display is an LCD backlit type of display, whereas the
'05/'06 display is a LED type of display. The only way to change the color of the '07 HU is to change the color of the backlight. We have been able to work with the '05 HU because that is what we drive.:) If someone wants to donate their '07 HU for R&D, that would be great!

We have not explored any modifications to the STi cluster to date. We have modded many WRX clusters and that requires removing the film behind the gauge face and converting the incandescent bulbs to LEDs. This would require the cluster being sent to us.

The process for the '07 clock is the same as previous years and yes, we can do it!

You have been PM'd!

Absolutely! Bring it on!

We were so wrong when we placed the gel behind the lense, not understanding the display is actually an backlit LCD type instead of an LED like on the '05/'06 display.

We will be looking for it Chris!

This type of service is why I have referred over 20 people to you guys over the past month. I get asked about my headlights and interior all of the time from people seeing pictures plastered all over the boards and my website which gets a ton of traffic. Which reminds me...

I don't know if you or Caesar have seen it you but I thanked you guys in my writeup. I entered my car in the Battle of the Wagonistas, Top Scoob 004 which was initially opened up to any owner of a modified Impreza wagon. I never really believed I had a shot but a friend convinced me to enter it, and through a series of voting I made it to the final round with only two other wagons vying for the title. I'm getting my but handed to me in this final round but it's still good publicity for you guys.

Fantastic stuff Chris!

I will plug the '07 HU into my car at lunch today and take some pics. The HU I will be testing will be red, but I think we will get the idea. I can't wait!

Man, Chris, the car looks incredible! Thanks for the props, dude! And also thanks for your patience while we work through the issues with your head unit. I am just stoked to come up with a final solution.

Pics coming soon!

Conversion is $10 over and above the $25 HU backlight cost.

Sorry for not replying to your question sooner. I absolutely meant to but time got away from me.

The only way to dim the window control lighting is to reduce the current through the LEDs. That requires that you return the controls to us.

LMK what you want to do.

As for the aftermarket head unit, I thought Caesar had relayed back to you that we would love to try it! Sounds like fun! The caveats are:
There is no way to tell what kind of LEDs are used before dissassmbling the unit. Once disassembled, we would have to order the correct replacement LEDs and that would take time to get the right parts. If you can do without the face for awhile, we would love to take a shot at it and if we could not do anything (I doubt that we can't), no harm, no fowl.

first post updated!!

BUmp!!!!!

what is the turn around time to do this?

any more pics of wrx cluster convertered to red / amber?

i the only thing really left green in my caris my cluster :(

any warranty?

+1 on the warranty

Forester should be coming apart in a week or two, I'll be sending mine in hopefully then!

Turn around is usually 2 business days.

We stand behind our work, should anything fail or break, send it right back in and we will take care of it.

oh man i wanna do thisssssss. can you match the sti amber for 04 wrx gauges?

yes no problem :)

is it possible to drive without a gauge cluster? im being serious. assuming i send it off with a full tank.

Yes, not an issue, other than the fact that you have to drive grannyazz slow because you won't know how fast you are going and wouldn't want to get pulled over without a cluster tracking ODO miles. Then you'll have to worry about your title having a mark on it indicating improper mileage calculation. :p

in two days ill probably put less than 30 miles...

and i can use my GPS to show me my speed. its more accurate anyways!

I was simply pointing out that a cop nor DMV would care how many miles it was out of sync because there would be no way of knowing. Just don't get pulled over and all is ok.

do you have instructions on how to remove a 04 wrx cluster?

Can you do my parts if I send you them from Scotland United Kingdom?

PM me a price

Ricey

Can you guys do these modifications to '01 Legacy interior bits?

Specifically, everything?

Yes sir :) Shoot over a pm if interested.

Just Got my car back from LightWerkz, (02 wrx) changed my lights over from Green to Red. I can't tell you how awesome it looks!! I will post pics up soon

They did my gauge cluster, boost gauge, door switches (driver and passenger front) stock radio (they even did ashtray light and glove box light)

Would anyone be interested if we offered a core swap process? Basically, this is how it would work; we send out a full interior set already converted and bill a core fee. The customer receives the parts, swaps them out, ships his old components back to us, and we refund the core fees as long as the return parts are in resellable shape.
We are completing our first set of components for this process (HVAC, Clock, IC sprayer, headlight leveler, fog switch, window controls, and have spare clusters ready for color application).

CB

hey, I would be up for the core replacement deal. I've got a 2007 sti limited. How much would this run and whats the core charge.

Thanks, John

This is what i've been waiting for!

If you can do this I will def. be in.

I have the jdm black HVAC knobs though...would that be a problem? I'm not sure if you need to mod the actual knobs/face or just the circuitry behind them.

Dragon and Alan,

Both of you have the black-face knobs requiring you remove the knobs from your unmodified HVAC unit before you ship them back. This is very simple process. We would send instructions on how to perform knob removal and ship the modified HVAC units without knobs out to you.

Core prices are as follows:

HVAC-$75
All window controls and switches (IC sprayer, Headlight Leveler, etc.)-$25 each
Clock-$25

We also have an 07 head unit that we can modify the faceplate and ship out. Core charge-$100

Right now we only have one full set of cores modded red and ready to go.

Contact us if you would like to proceed.

I'm interested in this. Can I get some shots of a blue interior? And what other colors can you get in the clock or is this all? I know there is others for the hvac and what not, but I didn't know about the clock.

Thanks.

The “lens cut method” is used to convert Subaru clocks to display red! The results are stunning and work well in bright sunlight

What's up Chris! When are you going to send in that head unit and other stuff bro?

The 04 model year climate controls are electronic and the 02/03 WRX climate controls are manual (cables) to my knowledge.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Cory. Life has been crazy busy and it's been tought finding the 10 minutes to pull my interior apart. But I did it this week. I'm painting my interior trim today with Plasti-dip and I just got the stereo out. LOL

Just let me know when you are ready to ship out those parts we discussed Cory.

i was wondering if it would be possible to do a core swap from wrx gauges to 05-07 sti gauges with the sti gauges redone in green.

We also just finished an early model rearview compass mirror and HVAC unit from an '03 wagon in blue.

Leonardo,

Thanks so much for the title update!

Yeah, we are now converting Homelink mirrors to red! $30 + return shipping.

There are already several providers of ambient lighting conversions and this type of effort takes a large-scale production effort. We like to keep things simple as a service for members to send their stuff into or use our core swap process.

Thanks again!

Cory

Ok, I'll do the mirror. What's the turnaround time.

Which of the providers would you recommend for the ambient lighting?

Bump!

We are now back from the holiday and some long-overdue R&R.

We have now converted Defi, Autometer, and Prosport gauges. We also have been doing quite a few compass/homelink mirrors ($30).

We also just completed another round of R&D on our 06/07 clock conversion. We found the optimum brightness for the air bag indicators and adjusted the current through the clock display for max brightness and match to the air bag lights.

Well i just took some pics of my recently finished interior conversion. everything came out perfect and i cant say enough nice things about lightwerkz and cory over at interior flair!

Turn around time was extremely fast and everything, especially the cluster turned out better than i could have even imagined.
Cory came up with the idea of have the red line portion of the cluster pink instead of cherry blossom red and have the "7" and "8" in white. He also surprised me with making the "impreza" white as well.

I took the best pics i could with my little point and shoot camera but im going to try and get better ones with my girlfriends Nikon slr since the colors did not come out very accurate. everything lights up a nice deep cherry blossom red and not the red orange as the pictures show.
