(Im not saying the whole led thing is a new idea im reffering to the control **** with the red inticator!!!!)

hey everybody just finished my ac controls and wanted people to see this to give yall a new idea well i really dont know if its a new idea but i havent seen people do this but i might be wrong well at least a new idea for the control ****!!!!!Let me know what yall think!!!!

 

thats pretty cool... was it hard to do?

 

How did you do the red clock? That looks really cool.

 

been there done that


yours look good too. how did you do yours, just curious

 

im not saying the whole thing is a new idea i know people change light for leds all the time!!! i was talkin about the control **** with the red inticator

 

not really you just stick an led in the **** and dremel a hole to stick the wire through the control unit


i just used red cellophane i was trying to do the white clock mod and it came out like this and it matched my hazard and defroster buttons so i left it like that

 

oc wicked.... What exact combo did you use for your led's? .... pnp or soldered?... brand?

Your white is crisp and clean....




how many layers of the red did you use. And is it true red or magenta?

 

i just use prewired 5mm leds from ebay i think those are the best if your really not into sodering you just place them where you want and run the wires to a 12v source!! and as for how many layers and what color it was. it is just one layer and the color im not sure i just had i layin around my house but it is very dark red color i tell u that during the day u really cant see it but i really wasnt worried as my cd player displays the time also

 

Looks good! Can you use those same prewired 5mm for the rest of the buttons that need lights?

 

Nice job oc_wicked. Came out excellent.

Quick OT question......how come I never see this done to the 98/99 style Auto Climate Control???

 

thanks man!!! i dunno why people dont do it to the 98/99 auto style prob a lil harder (BTW man i love your car!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

by buttons do you mean the window switches? or hazard and rear defroster? for the window switches i used 3mm and as for the hazard button and rear defroster i bought 2 red leds from radioshack and some 470ohm resistors but if you want to buy the prewired ones you can just take the heatshrink from them and they have a resistor sodered to them already and you can just cut the wires off

 

I mean the climate control buttons. The ones you use to select wether you want the air for your face, feet ect......or were those included in the mod?

 

Looks hot

 

oh ok! there is a a clear bar that is used to distribute the light you can see it in the pic but i ended up putin three more leds on the plastic clear bar but yes you can use the same wired leds


thanks man!!!

 

looks great

can this be done for the climate control?

 

Nice that came out really clean!

 

i think it looks great

 

i've done it on the 98 acc (which also explains why you haven't see it, i suck). not complicated at all.

 

Wow, that looks very good! Makes me want to redo mine now.

 

Looks great! Been wanting to led the climate control for a while, and I think this just did it. Good job!

 

go for it man you wont regret it!!!!! after you do it youll probably go crazy with leds like i did

 

everything looks good but how come u left the indicators as green still??

 

i still wanted it to look kinda stock without going overboard on the leds plus where the green indicators go is clear lens if i was to put an led there it would just be too bright and shine through very bright and i would have to use resistors to dim the light down and it is a tight fit in there not much room plus i wanted a simple but good lookin install on my leds dont want a very bright light shining in my face while driving

plus it kinda goes with my radio buttons hehe

 

dude that is PHAT but im not tryin it the last time i did leds in the climate control i shorted my control out so im not doin it anymore lol

 

looks very good. . . . planning to do mine soon..

 

dat looks really great... mad propz to u

 

have you done your gauges? Was wondering if you would use single 3mm LEDs again or Plug n Play type 74 LED bulbs.

 

looks goods ......

 

with all the wires from the LEDs, where did you connect them?

 

heres my Photobucket i have a coulpe of gauge pics in there

i used the FSM to find the power wires for lighting for both the gauges and climate control and just tapped into those.

 

hmmmm the climate control looks blue now. Is it \the camera?

 

theres a pic in there where they look kinda blue but thats just the camera they look bright white in person the only think that did look purple or blue was the gauges but i took out the leds and put some polarg 5w bulbs to get them a lil brighter than stck and they look whiter too
