sorry to get your hopes up '06ers, but i'm still in the process. i searched this but to no avail. so far i've changed out both door panels, door cup holders, center cup holder, and mph/etc guage to blue. i still have to get new gauge faces to finish all the gauges. anyway, my question is about the A/C controls. as you '06 guys know, we have that little orange indicitor on each ****, so even if you were to shine blue thru it, it would be blue+orange. anyway, i was wondering if anybody has done the conversion on the '06 A/C ***** and been successful with the indicator things. i would post pics, but everything i've done so far has been covered by Acree; thanks again Acree for the help!

 

Sure bud. Good luck.

I didn't know Acree wasn't capable of 06 interiors ?

 

he is. he was a big help, the only reason i could attempt it. i'm just assuming he hasn't had to fab A/C ***** for the '06 yet.

 

I am.

TreeZ is taking a step into the unknown and doing it himself. Major props. It's not easy.

TreeZ, update yet?

i haven't had too much time to work on it, holiday season has me finishing up many projects at work. but i did go to a salvage yard in hopes of finding A/C controls from '05 and down 350s, maybe being able to use the clear insert to fit into the '06, not the whole **** though. i'm gonna try to hit another one or two yards this weekend, i really don't feel like paying for the whole A/C cluster if all i need is a little plastic piece, if i can use it in the first place. if that doesn't work, fabrication time.

 

The orange paint doesn't peel off if you scrape it? Guess it might be hard to keep from shaving the plastic at the same time.

 

I had a chance to convert the 07 climate control including the little LED for the dials

 

Wow! You pulled that post out of nowhere! I still haven't been able to get around the orange indicator.

 

It's a b!tch to change that...

 

Without very custom intricate work, I don't think we'll ever see a true converted indicator. I'm pretty sure the red LED would come through the amber indicator OK, though.

 

Really? It's been over 2 years..

 

I know! Maybe if I could get my hands on the mold that they use to create the amber indicator piece, but that's as likely as me winning the lottery
I didn't really see a point to changing the LED when the amber indicator is still there. That's one thing I love about the '03-'05 AC Controller, the piece is clear, so any color LED will come through

 

is there a DIY thread on these conversions?

 

This was more of, if I can do it or not...
I'll play with the amber indiator in more detail later..

 

acree and treez do great work. does the orange indicator really bother you guys that much? kinda like the contrast.

 

i wish treez still did this...i want my 04 switched over!

 

OK, finally got around to finished full blue LED conversion for the 06-08 climate control

 

Very nicely done. Did you end up making your own mold and creating new pieces?
