kckid1695 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Just a little of what I have been working on yesterday and today. I still have to do my cluster and the bottom two buttons on the bottom of the stearing wheel. And need to get some pics of the door switches on. Some of the pics look as if the leds are really bright but they are just right. And I used flat top leds so there are no hot spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcompalaline Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Can you go into more detail on the type of LED you used? Seems like that would a great mod for mine, OEM lighting is green . It turned out very nice by the way.

kckid1695 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 What I have used so far is 3mm flat top blue leds with 470-ohm resistiors 1/4 watt @ 5% tolerance. In the cluster I'm going to be using 5mm leds. Both of these leds have 180 Deg. viewing angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrsilv15 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 That looks SWEET!!! I want some!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcompalaline Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Forgive me for the question but do all of the LEDs need a resistor? Reason I ask is because in the top pic there is one for each bulb , but on the bottom pic bulbs are all solo. Thanks for the extra info!

Joe Roknic Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 looks great......now i have another mod to add to a long, long, long list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delay18 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Looks killer. Can you go into more detail about where you need the resistors and what rating etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It already has leds in it from the factory and has resistiors. So all you need to do is put in new leds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pics are not mine just borrowed them to show you what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it can be done by me, I have little or no experience with electronics but am eager to try it? Thanks for the inside look, very interesting.
