really....hmm ...i guess i should have posted this thread before buying
but it might buy it in future!!

thanks!!!

 

i have another question about the install:
to wire the Super Bright LED's i would use one resistor for each led....right?

and i found this ot oznium.com
but i don't know how it will work....connect 4 blue led's and then at end add a resistor?

and also which one would be ideal to use 1 resistor for each or 1 resistor for 4 leds??

thanks

 

You might just want to use pre-wired LEDs, or an LED bar / LED strip so you don't have to bother with resistors.

 

i would have ordered prewired but...i already ordered LED's and resistors
can't wait to install the lights tho!!

by the way....do u have the resistors for the dash light swaps like LEDmod.net have in their kits?? which would go w/ PLCC -2 LEDs for dash light swap..

thanks

 

I try to use one resistor for each LED because if the resistor fails you do no tend up with astring of dead lights,just one....

 

^^^ thanks!!

 

i got my stuff today...but Oznium forgot to put the transformer in for the cathodes
but i called them and they said they will send in..probably getting it on wednesday or thurday...
but i wanted to install my lights today...i'll post pic. when i get em' on!!

You can always do all the work you can today and wire in the transformer when it arrives. =) That's another nice thing about the LED strips, there's no transformer box. Get some nice night shots when you're done!

 

ok so i went and bought some hood up wires.
So My red 18 gauge wire is "STANDARD", and black (neg) wire is " SOLID"....what is the difference in them...i did'nt open them...so if i need to return em...so should i bother returning em??

 

I'm not sure of the difference, but I doubt it matters... haha I use speaker wiring for all of my projects , makes life so much easier because it keeps the positive and negative wires together.

Anyways I'm surprised that you're planning on soldering all the LEDs and resistors yourself considering that you seem relatively new to wiring. Best of luck to you.

 

I did the prewired, mainly because i don't like soldering, and i don't want to deal with the confusion of resistors. Cathodes for the footwells and leds for the doors and cupholders and such will be fine, it looks perfect on mine, you should have no problems...

 

^^^ i hope so!!

i am kinda used to soldering and stuff and it is a while now...i have'nt solder anything in like 3-4 years
but i think its not difficult to put leds and resistor together w/ solder

 

They do have the LEDs for the gauge cluster/HVAC swaps on the LED page. Pre-wired would have been a lot easier and LED strips will match the blue of the LEDs better then cathodes.

 

The round rocker won't fit in the tc socket, You will have to make it fit by doing a little bit of digging.

 

solid wire is a pain to use. its just one thick strand of copper while standard is multiple strands which is also more flexable and easier to work with.

 

ok so i tried installing the cathodes and i was connecting red wire w/ a white one on the cigar/12v output and guess black is Positive and white is negative (kinda odd)..
but finished installing em;...came out pretty cool..and light output is good blue and matches w/ LEDs!!
but have'nt put the led's in...

 

Good Job! Any pictures?

i'll get em' on 2morrow!
