30 intensity is the best to use...or the only one to use?
Will a higher intensity hurt?

The second you take the cluster apart and start messing around with it you've voided your warranty on it... I don't see Hyundai willing to give you a freebie if something gets messed up... :whistling:

there is a cluser brightness knob that you use to adjust how bright your cluster is at night. I usually turn mine down all the way since I live in the country and the variance between the nighttime roads and the cluster gives me a headache. So using a higher intensity LED I think wouldn't cause too many problems since you can adjust the voltage being delivered to them.

Well if I were to change theses LEDs I would use a lower intensity because they are so bright ! I wish I had a control for the level of brightness lol

white would be cool.

changing the OEM stereo LEDs should be the about the same work right?

omg you could afford a retro fit but not not a new deck... for shame

Um, yes, there would be evidence that you've been in the dash and cluster, even if all they do is replace the cluster. And when the replaced part goes back to Hyundai for evaluation, THEY will most definately see that the cluster has been tampered with and charge the dealer back for the repair.

I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying that it will void the warranty. Once the "new" wears off of my car, I may end up doing it as well.

well i believe this is a very useful thread since you can find pictures, link to other related thread, link where to buy supplies, link to a video how it looks like and also that "too much crap", as you call it, its just members thoughts about it.

It is a good thread. It's just not a good sticky. Too much trouble to separate the wheat from the chaff.
