ok so two weeks ago I did the blue LED gauge change just as the FAQ section explained by Panasonic and for two weeks it seemed ok, and now the two LEDs that light up my odometer screen (that little lcd with milage) seem to go off for no reason while I am driving, just those two, all the others work.
Funny thing is that next morning they work again....what the hell??? I am wondering if these are overeating or something? any ideas or any of you guys seen this?

I used these LED's, maybe the forward voltage is too high on these?

please help, I am willing to try anything before I take this thing apart again

 

bad sauder? bad batch of LEDs? Now I'm worried because I just ordered from them some super white ones.... keep us posted!

 

best thing to do is open it up and see wassup. Is there a DIY on these forums?

 

www.lc-led.com are the wrong LEDs..

how many times do I have to post this..

i used them and they dont work in the center console and the gauges are finiky..I bought them for 60$$

and then I found the right ones somewhere off ebay and they were 12$$ and they worked great..

www.lc-led.com and www.digikey.com do not buy from ..the leds are a different voltage..

 

I wish I would have researched it some more before doing it, so what "Blue" LEDs are the right ones?
this is messed up....I hate re-doing crap

 

I got the PLCC2 blue ones from Digi-Key and they work great for the gauges, I've had no issues at all. BUT (That's a big but :D) they are too dim for the center console since the center console runs on less voltage.

ScionTCTrav, which ones did you get from ebay? Were they blue? Specs?

 

so the emails I got seem to be pointing to some kind of problem that I am having, maybe one of the LED is bad or I screwed up the soldering, all others work fine it is just those two above the odometer lcd.....so looks like I will be replacing those this weekend.....

 

sooooo what are the right ones? I haven't heard anything bad about LC LEDs....hmmmmm

 

www.mouser.com are the right ones..

finished w/ my RED LEDS and now im finished w/ my Carbon Dash Kit

get some condoms!

 

wow its too bad mouser has about 3 million different types of LEDs, do u think u can get me a better link to exactly what u bought PLEASEEEEE

 

They won't work for this application, unless you weren't talking about the car then I'll have to pick some up.

 

i know that we can buy them off mouser.com. but which one is the specific one that we need to get. i think that will help if you have a link directly to that product. thanks jmiller

 

You're welcome....but thanks for what, what'd I do?

 

can you post pics of the blue gauge cluster........i've been wanting to do the same...

 

yeah i just got mine too...damn.

 

what i was saying was what is the LED that you ordered. all that you gave us was mouser.com. when we went to that site. there was like hundreds of them. which is the specific one that you got to get the mod done. thanks. hope that clears it up

 

i have the lc led's and they are gorgeous. very bright, i have no problems with them...even with the console they are awesome. not dimmed like some guys keep saying their prob is. however...i will wait it out for a couple more weeks i guess and see what happens.....

 

if somebody would post a pic of the dash circuit board, it would be nice.. just wanna see how many leds are there and how hard the soldering will be..

 

I never said get them from Mouser. I believe you confused me with...

I got mine from Digi-Key.

But their voltage is too high for the console, so they're dim. They work great for the guages though.
