crf250rider Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Has anyone tried changing the lights in their a/c control and speedometer to blue leds? I was just wondering because i think that would be a cool interior upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Fast SS Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm sure it would look great. I changed all my interior bulbs to PIAA's extreme white, it make a nice difference. See if you can get some PIAA's, the led's only shine forward, and not 180* like the PIAA's. Plus the PIAA's are much brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crf250rider Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 ok i took apart the a/c control tonite and it looks like the light bulbs are saudered to teh circuitry... what kind of business could popped those off and replace them with leds? I was thinking maybe some kind of computer repair store since thats the kind of stuff they deal with?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just snip the old LEDs off and get the color you want (with circuitry endings) from radioshack (or any computer parts store or ebay), and sauder some ones on yourself. Use thin to medium gauge saudering wire, and be real carefull when you do it do you don't end up joining more circuits then you're supposed to. It's not hard to do, it's just very time consuming and a bit of pressure because if you screw up... well, you know.. ... and post pics when you're done!!

Rausche Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Try to find ones as close to the same size as what's in there... You should also power them both (old and new) up to measure light output from them before you make it permanant... If the new ones are too bright you'll start to see all the gridding and outlining of the LCD itself (it won't look very clean)... Don't be afraid if the wiring tails are really long on the new bulbs, they're meant to be cut and bent into shape (carefully!)... let us know how it works out!

FireRescueSS Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Darn y'all, got me thinking of doing that now, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT13 Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Darn y'all, got me thinking of doing that now, lol. I've been thinking about it too but I know it's just gonna be far too time consuming. I've seen pics of it done in blue and it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rausche Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Seriously... Does anyone have pics of it done with blue laying around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crf250rider Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Seriously... Does anyone have pics of it done with blue laying around? No but i have seen it and it looks awesome... for anyone wanting to know i think the # 37 or 73 bulb are the same size as the ones already in. They most likely sell blue ones on ebay and im about to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
