I just started my conversion today and I am working my way up the console. Because of rain, I stopped after the traction control switches.

Here is a pic of the switches with out the cover.

Monogram the same as the BRZ hvac?

Yes if you have the dual zone HVAC. The DIY thread you linked shows the non-dual HAVC system.

Yea, I figured that out after he said mentioned the LCDs, was curious if they went with the BRZ or if this was a different system.

The BRZ HVAC was pretty easy. I think I just bent the leads on the LCDs back a bit instead of removing them.

@Pwolf Thanks!! I don't have enough post to officially thank you yet.

Top-Secret · 09-24-2014, 11:22 PM

What i got done today. Waiting on the rest of my LEDs so i can finish the gauge cluster

DustinS · 09-25-2014, 11:38 AM

For the HVAC/Dual Climate Control/Gauge Cluster(Blue) use: Mouser Blue PLCC-2

and for base(non dual) climate control use 0603:Mouser Blue 0603

Looks Great @Top-Secret!

Now to wait for that guy to finish the harness to install them in non-dual climate cars...

For those that are interested, a little gopro cap of my interior:

Just completed the dash conversion. Here is a pic of the cluster and a close up of the tach so you can see the real color/brightness.
