I finally started my blue LED projects.

H/U screen bulb change to LED

A/C console bulb change to LED

full take

guess

 

Nice. I'm trying to do the same thing. did you change all the LEDs on your radio? also what size bulb did you get for the HVAC controls? and lastly my guess...

the drivers side door window/lock controls!

 

You should do a tech on how you LED'd your box, if you did it yourself and bought the LEDs.
price/location/brand or lights.
I'm always looking for ways to attack my xB.

If this is something someone can do that is?

 

Oh wow, switchplate LEDs. Damn, I can't even begin to think of how I would do that.

 

Looks awesome. I want to learn how to do stuff like that..

What about the little amber LEDs on either side of the CD slot? I know those have to be taunting you..

 

is there enough contrast on the radio? I was thinking of doing blue on the clock, but am afraid of not being able to read it.

 

the bulbs for the ac console are # 74

 

Do they just pop in like the stock bulbs? I remember the bulb "base" was much bigger than the bulb itself... Does the bulb pop out of the base? Anyone know if the #74 LED bulbs w/holder from superbrightleds.com fit?

 

the radio screen has 2 small bulb on both side, which i replaced with 2 3mm led.
the HVAC also has 2 bulb(but 12 v) so i replaced it with 2 5mm series with 470 ohm resistor.

 

ebay is the place i got mine. if you know a bit on soldering, know how to use volt meter and have patience then you can.

 

i stole it here, but made few mod.

those are not LED. its plastic optics. behind it has a lot of tiny LED thats is going to be a pain to replace all. See the navi light change mod someone posted. the LED are like those.

 

it is sooo bright. but can still see the lettere/numbers. problem with the clock is it need surface mount led. cant use regular 3-4v led.

 

passenger side

 

God damn, how is that mounted in there?

 

wow thats sweet. any one have any leds on their outside door handles??? that would look sweet.

 

Outside door handles? I guess it's only a matter of time but it is definitely possible. LED's are very easy to work with and you just have to understand Ohm's law to figure out the resistor value you need. Just remember

(12V-[LED voltage req'd.])/[LED current req'd, usually 20mA] = Resistor value in Ohm's.

As for the small a$$ LED's, that Sid_xBicious is talking about, I was the one he's referring to. And yes, they're tiny and VERY difficult if you are not experienced with soldering micro-electronic components. Anyway here's the link for reference if anyone's curious about what he's talking about the comparison was taking with a dime.

For anyone else reading this, this information is not correct. I had mentioned this to him in one of my other threads that it might work but I didn't know for sure because I haven't tried it. Well it turns out that he ordered them and for sure they did not work. He's updated the other threads except for this one so I just wanted to make people aware of this. Again, sorry about that hotbox05.

 

alls i have to say is someone needs to do a LED FAQ

 

So what is the right size for the bulbs in the HVAC?
