Default 07 LED Swap Help (resistor kit placement)

Well, I am completely done doing my guage cluster/center console swap for my 07 (amber to blue) and on the tech help, there is no info on the 07 model nor where to put the resistors. i ordered a resistor kit from garage1217 and got 5 with a little white connector. does anybody know where these resistors go on the HVAC and which type they are in case I need to go buy some if short??



{rewrote the question} sorry for the confusion

07 gauge cluster is the same.
07 HVAC isn't the exact same. Theres a few different places to jump from than on the 05-06

i apoligize for the confusion. my friend fixed the guage cluster and thats perfect. what i meant to ask was where do you put the resistor kit for the HVAC so that they are not so dim?

Check this link out. It might answer your question. I have 06 and it worked fine for me.

if you have a little electrical knowledge.. that helps alot..

using the diagrams from the '05-'06 circuit.. you can follow the new traces on the '07 board to find where to switch out the 330 ohm resistors.

and what is this little white connector that you got in this kit?

i hope that he gave you 3 resistors that were surface mount... (the 330 ohm ones).. trying to wire an axial resistor is going to be a major pain..

Also, when you mount the resistors, consider that you will have to put the cover back on. Make sure you arrange your resistors in an orientation that fits the cover.

sounds good garage1217. by chance do you know if the back turning signals and the rear parking lights can be swapped into leds?? if so, let me know. i'll place an order for those lights as well.


hope somebody posts a pic soon of how the resistors go : D

I could mail you a few. I buy 'em in bulk, so they run me like 3 cents each. PM me and I'll give you my paypal address so you can mail me $1
