Clock LED Modification
#104
alright i have some extra time at work so i was going to do my led mod to my clock cause i just recieved my LEDs in the mail yesterday afternoon. well before i ____ anything up i took a few pictures to make sure i have everything cause something doesn't look right
here are the LEDs i bought from eled.com
and here are the ones that are in the circuit board.
now as you can see the original ones are square and seem a lot smaller. i followed wegee's directions and i'm pretty sure i got the right leds (just in case here is the part number - E7104QWC-D). now has anybody run across this problem because for one i didn't know if they would fit and two was that im now not sure that i got the right leds cause i got the 3mm x 1.5mm like im sure everyone else did. so if there is something im missing or if someone who bought leds of this site could please tell me that either i got the wrong ones or the right ones for that matter that would be great. please help i don't want to ____ this up amd make my signature true!! thanks

i also noticed that wgee said that in his first post with all the great pictures that they were 1106 SMT leds so when i ordered mine that was i was looking for 1106. but as i was just reading on, he said on page 2 of this thread that you needed 1206 leds or something like that. so now im really unsure of whether my leds are the right ones.

yeah i've been scanning the internet and this thread frantically and i think i realized what my goof was haha. well all i need now is a soldering pencil and what not and i think i'll have it. also i think hotbox said that the leds in the speedo were 1411 so i think when i return those leds if i can i'll get the clock ones and the speedo ones and i'll post pics as soon as im done. oh yeah it'll be green. sorry Max2k i don't mean to be like copying you or anything although you are a light god but i really like how it looks. sorry im not as original as you are

yeah those were the exact ones i was looking at part number and everything. i emailed eled to see if there was a possiblity of return or exchange since they're unused but if not i'll end up getting these no matter what. do you know for a fact that 1411 is the led for the speedo or no?

I got my LEDs from this guy on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WD1V
Now I have a bunch of little green LEDs in a drawer.

I buy my leds from a friend so am not 100% sure on the size for the speedo , I will see him tonight and ask , whenb I was looking online from measuring the leds he gave me 1411 came the closest to that size.

parts source maybe...
Hi,
I wanted to mention www.digi-key.com as a ossible sources for some of the lamps/LEDs around.
I am not sure if they will have them, but if anybody does, they probably will.
