Hey this isint in the HOW-To's only the scanner is anywayz how do i wire a blue led into my clock to change the red one

 

open the clock. remove the red led. solder in a blue led (make sure you use correct resistors if the LED is a different size/strength)

but blue LEDs are SO 2004 j/k
I'm replacing all my blue led window switches and radio lighting with red as soon as it warms up (saw my buddy's Audi's interior, and damn that red looks slick)

 

I don't know if this is possible. The clock is actually an LCD unit, so I don't know if there is a way that you can really change it. What I did was glue a red peice of cellophane over the clock display effectivley changing the color from green to white. It's not any brighter, but it is white.

 

Irish, how did you change your radio unit to display blue?

 

I think he means the little blinking LED that flashes when the alarm is set...not the LCD screen itself.

 

irish im talking about the red led that flashes when alarm is armed

 

Also whats the best, brightest MCD to use and what resistors do i need for the MCD u reccomend me thanks for all your help

 

Bump Iish help me ....... whats the best, brightest MCD to use and what resistors do i need for the MCD u reccomend me thanks for all your help

 

You might get a pink look, where you'd expected red with red LED's, especially the clear LEDs that shine red...just thought i'd give you a warning

 

Man... with all this talk about it... I really need to see this Audi someday... I know he was posting in the Other Cars forum for a bit....

 

No need for resistors or anything! Just remove old red one and replace/solder with blue one. Mine is a 3mm with 5000 MCD brightness. Beware, though, with this brightness, it really glows bright at night attracting attention to the interior of the car.

 

Thanks alot i want it really bright im gonna have 15% tint next week and my interior is all stock , audio wise too so i dont think it can attract theives.
