I am interested in doing a complete LED switch over to all blue on my dash, radio, climate control, window switches, etc.. Wondering if anyone has a good write up for a 2003 and also the best place to purchase the quailty LED's(only want to do ot once). Please post any info
Thanks

 

u can get led's from cwithk here's his shop on ebay http://stores.ebay.com/Chi-Wing-LED-...Q3amesstQQtZkm
i donno a lot abt write up on the led swap check irish and warrior home pages.
BTW mention org whn u gonna order leds.

 

so nobody has done a write up on this?

 

yes...there is a write-up out there. I'll try to find it for you a little later. I used it to do mine...it's an excellent write up

 

here's the write-up I used.....there was another good one too, but I can't find the other one..

i thought someone did an actual led swap out of their instrument cluster.

and there was someone who converted their key ring light with two leds

are we expecting a write up from the home depot king as well? that would be terrific.

 

i ordered my leds from the group buy that may still be going on right now

 

This is the best LED write-up I have seen, courtesy of THE STICKIES.

LED Write-up HERE

 

thats just for switches^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I think i'm the only one who's done a two LED key ring setup...I don't have access to a digital camera all the time, so I wasn't able to provide a write up. If someone can provide pics of their keyring with pics of the wiring it plugs into I can use photoshop and make a writeup.

Here's what mine looks like, the picture is pretty good but in seeing it by eye, it's just amazing.

 

considering
1. there are plenty of good write-ups out there already for this and
2. I'm not taking everything BACK apart to take pics of it...

no....don't hold your breath. I'm only going to write something up if isn't already a good write-up for it out there, in most cases.....especially since cardomain is always NOT WORKING these days and it takes forever to post stuff between all the damn error messages....

 

i thought some one changed the clock, radio and instrument(odo,etc...) readouts blue as well. Any one got any info on that?
Thanks for all the posts so far

 

some people have coloured in their bulbs, others have added a different power source for their leds.

but as for a great solid write up on how to swap your LEDS with adding resistors where needed i have only seen the one with the door switches.(which was great by the way.)

i'm just jealous of those who have done it because it looks amazing

yeah i hear ya josh, car domain isn't the best of sites.

your mods have some great write ups though, thats all i'm sayin.

 

thanks....
I'm actually considering switching all the dash and switches to red now....getting a little tired of the blue

we'll see how much free time I have this summer. If I do the changeover, maybe I'll take some pics when I do it and do a how-to....but this won't be for several months!

 

well i have the manual so i guess i have to break it out and check the voltage to each light and work with that

 

I am going to finally take the time to do this next weekend.

 

good luck! i've done the doors so far and they look nice. getting impatient for the rest though

 

If you have qny questions that are not covered in the write-up's, then feel free to contact me. my AOL SN is silvermax2k2. i have done many led projects, and i know some tricks. here are some of the things i have done..












and i am working on another project right now that will benifit ALL org members... but it is not ready yet...

 

I've got a couple different orders of LED bulbs from the link below, and they've always been good bulbs with quick shipping. Prices are generally better than ebay, and you can order online whenever you want. I have no affiliation with them, just a happy customer.

A few things:
(1) For actual LED Bulbs these prices are nothing short of highway robbery. You can get a pack of 50 LEDs on EBay that will be 2k MCD brighter for $0.15 per unit. PLUS, you can get them with resistors for a measley additional $0.02.

(2) I have changed ALL my lights to LEDs acquired from both the above source and Autolumination.com. Personally, I have been far more impressed with autolumination...their customer service is top-notch and their website has a much better layout; autolumination has a much better description of how thier bulbs work and the applications.

Not that I am knocking superbrightleds, but I have had a much friendlier and econmically sound experience with autolumination & EBay.

 

Were you the one working on the blue LEDs shining on the cluster?
