Ok..im in the middle of swappin to an all black interior and as part of the swap i want all blue LEd's ....doors, courtesy lights, my hu is already blue ...manual climate control, glove box.....i want it to look nice, not too bright but still able to see if i took a pic with a digi cam you know....as im new to led wiring and what not, i dont know what i should go with, tools needed, or whatnot....how many bulbs to get, resistors, anything

 

stickys > you

 

lol ... dude you have no idea what your getting yourself into, TRUST ME

 

If you are asking questions about LED's maybe you are not ready to tackle a project like an interior swap....just an observation.
BTW- WTF is this thing i keep seeing all over the net? what is this> ?

 

LED's - 100 off ebay for $20 shiped including resistors
Solder wire, solder gun,flux paste, 22 or 24 gauge wire(all available at radio shack), recommend PCB board (too stick LED's in) for dome,maplight and door lights. Finding the right resistors is the tricky part... depends on how many leds you will have connected, i used this website: http://metku.net/index.html?sect=vie...calc/index_eng
Parts-express.com has any resistors you may need for reasonable prices.
I've only done the dome,maplight and door lights and believe me its a MAJOR PITA. I had never soldered before in my life but 3 days later i finished but paid the price in blood and burns.
I'm planning on doing the auto climate control and door controls as well but i have a feeling its not gonna be any easier.

Oh i forgot, buy some extra fuses.. i blew a couple installing the dome light

 

Ive heard too many horror stories about led installs including my friends car that me and him did. My advice is that unless you have a good ammount of Led experience you should only try this with someone else who knows what they are doing and has done this before. Even then you might want to go to your local junkyard and get some of the peices you are going to led and do those first, if they work out then you can use them and sell your originals, or, sell those and do your originals. But read the stickys and think about all the things you could ruin if you mess up. Good luack

 

seriosuly good luck. I remember doing my auto climate control and regret not paying just the 4 bucks a bulb for an easy swap. I easily spent more than 20 hours of my time just doing the defrost/hazard buttons and my auto climate. goodluck dude and make sure you're not shorting anything out. tape off all exposing connections.

 

what bulbs go in the auto climate control? I don't want to take it apart, order the bulbs and have to wait 3 weeks for them to show up and then put everything back.
Thanks for making my life eaiser.

 

koo, i wanna do the same thing with my interior. maybe tan interior.

 

if i was to jsut swap out the bulbs...what bulbs would i have to get?

 

yeah- i would like to know this too. My rear defroster bulb is out. its like a little rubber sleeved, with a blue condom bulb. Anybody?
