LED SHORTCUT OR SOMETHING???

LED SHORTCUT OR SOMETHING???

ive notice that some change out the ugly green looking light for blue or red led lights and have to solder and everything and this guy claim that he juss put it in and wire take a look

thats pretty good, they're just preassembled with no resistor needed because there is four in a row, so the voltage drop will go fine across all four. thats what i was thinking of doing, but i just dont know how he got all four in there behind the knobs and into the original bulb sockets, that takes some time, cause its a pain in the a**. the ones behind the gauges are cool but would suck when u're driving during night time because of teh glare

maybe good but expensive, you can probably find led for 1$ /ea. . and believed me, it was easy , i did mine , and it was my first time welding led . it turns out pretty good lookin .

on ur cardomain site i see that ur clock is red did u replace it complete or juss the LED?

so if i wired up 4 LED's, I wouldnt need to use any resistors?

i can'T comfirm that out now, but i'll try this week end and figured out witch led can bu used for a set-up like that , but if u ask me , weldin then with resistor , is the best way !

does anyone know how to remove the needles in the gauges?


*edit* nm, i got it

if you get LED's that can handle 3.6V then u're fine with no resistors. or else you would need like a small resistor. my leds handle 2.8-3.8 V, so its fine. dont buy from the ebay auction, i can make that setup for you a lot cheaper if you dont know how to solder (not weld ) PM me

weld ... soldering , seriously i don'T care , i don't even speak english frequently . but hey thanks , there 's always place for some improvement !

edit: f*****double post , my bad

If intel61 has a better deal on LEDs that can do what I've done and are actually 100% blue, I'd like to get hooked up too!

i'm just sayin it can be done cheaper, i have 100% blue leds, thats how blue led's come. u can go ahead and sell your stuff, i'm not saying no. theres plenty of people out ther eto buy it

could u wire those leds to the head unit wiring harness? i want somethin to put in that little space in hte dash kit.

I think you should put a resistor in there just to be safe. LED voltages change with temperature and as they age so one hot day you might start your car and one of the LEDs in the chain will die causing all four to turn off. It might last for a couple months but I wouldn't trust it for the long run.
