hello everybody i am finally making some progress on the interior lighting in my car. Much thanks to shanecrow99 and Max2k for all the help. Let me know what you think about it all and hopefully i will get the clock done sometime soon.

 

Looking good, nice work.

 

How do plan on doing the clock? If you get it done you have to post what you did.
I want to change the clock color too

It looks really good. keep up the good work

 

AWESOME man!

Looks very cool.

 

Looks like a good start!

 

I like the light in the a.c. vents. Very cool.

 

has anybody done the clock, i know there is that tech article but i want to know how difficult it is, also with the head unit. thanks guys

 

that very nice. i want to change my ac controls to blue and put themin the vents as well. was it hard or easy to accomplish, and are they all leds?

 

its really not that hard at all to do both, you just need a little soldering knowledge, this was my first attempt at soldering so it cant be that hard. its just 2 leds for the a/c and one a piece for the vents, but ive seen multiples for the vents. all in all its pretty easy to do.

 

talk to Randode. He did his and I looks great.

 

I did my clock using the article below:

It wasn't that hard as long as you were using the proper soldering equipment. Note: Make DARN sure that the LEDS are facing the correct way (polarity). Surface mount soldering a bit more of a challenge than just normal soldering. Need any tips? MSG me and I will help ya with this as well.

 

i do clocks and speedos led's for like 35 each.

 

any examples of your finished work?

 

Looking at emfomas pics brings up a problem I had as well. If you look closely at the AC temp gauge you'll see that the red section is not illuminated. I had the EXACT same problem. I have no idea why the light won't pass through the red portion. I swear the stock light passed through but I be darned if I can't get the LED's to pass. This happened wether I was using blue or green LEDS (so I know it isn't light related). Anybody got any clues? Does the red just not illuminate at all?

 

Oh emfomas... love your work so far man! Keep it up!!
