I just got back from a search on converting the dash bulbs to LEDs. While I found a lot fo useful information, I did not find the particular post I was looking for. There was a post that had a link to a cardomain.com page that showed the conversion, the resistors used, the LEDs used, the LEDs and resistors installed, and even told about how to sand down the tip of the LED lens to get a better projection of the light. The cardomain.com page was actually for an Accord, but the same thing can be done for the Maxima.

Anyone have a link to this page again? I can't find the post I'm looking for.

Also, I found in my searches that some Auto Climate Controls use 194 bulbs. Does anybody know for certain which ACCs use 194s and which ones use those tiny bulbs with the blue condoms on them?

Also, does anyone recall the post I'm talking about? It wasn't all that long ago, damn I wish I bookmarked that page.

This is something I wrote up a year or two ago...

I would recommend the brighter LED's (more than 300)...only downside is RadioShack's 2600 mcd LEDs have more of a sky-blue than a drrp-blueish color, so they'll be blue, but wont quite match the color of most other blue LED stuff...so you may want to try to find a mnuafacturer that has some brighter LEDs with a similar wavelength to RadioShack's dimmer ones.

Thanks. That is one of the websites I found. However, not the one I was looking for. I have added it to my bookmarks to refer to though, it is pretty helpful.

I suppose if and when I ever get the chance to actually do this, I'll do a full writeup.
