LED swap looks great!... Sucks about the screen though, so many people have problems with it, that's why when I did my LED swap I really took my time desoldering the LCD screen on the HVAC

dont worry we'll find another and make sure we desolder it well... funny how we were just talking about how common it is to do and then it gets effed

did you have to do anything special in the hvac when installing the white led's, i think its the kit i got, but me and a friend did ours and they are super dim on the screen and buttons, someone made a comment about white was one of the toughest and needed a res or whatnot

i believe it was a lot tougher... they are much smaller than LEDs... if you look on the board now,
if you look at this diagram, you can see the size of the resistors highlighted in green compared to the led's themselves

wow those are tougher, there is a guy in arkansas that said for 30 bucks he'll swap just the resistors out for me, i figured its just the hvac so what the hell, i work too jobs as it is so i would hate to rush something that small cause the leds were a bit of a pain, thanks for the info, car is looking great too btw
