Default eBay Blue LED A/C Heater Climate Control

LINK HERE

Reserve is set to $50.

Here is a better pic, the camera makes it look as if there are hot or Cool spots in the color, I assure you there are none. This looks awesome at night and stock during the day.

I want to do mine first to see whats involves and see how hard it would be, but I think that it would be pretty straight forward (for me). I am not saying that noone here can do it but you have to have the experience, just like painting or something. Not everyone can pick up a gun and paint a truck....

I would guess that on the 03+ Clusters it would cost around $180?? Not sure but I will let you all know when I do mine(whenever I get around to it).

I still have to do my steering wheel buttons too....


Thanks again for looking.

I have soldered for years, even surface mount chips so thats no biggie for me. The problem is knowing what components I need and what all needs changing.

I use PLCC SMD LED's

The Quality units are usually more than $4 each, and you need to do some research to find some. You can't find them at Radio Shack or eBay. I get mine from British Columbia and have paid more than $80 for 20 LED's. So there would be around $60 in LED's alone for the cluster if you don't blow any by accident.

I'm not saying that no one can do it but its not really that easy. You have to be up on your Electrical/Electronics theory and be really good with a low wattage soldering iron. And the PLCC LED's are Surface mount, which makes things even more difficult. It can be VERY frustrating.

You have to have a good quality DMM to trace the circuit on the board, know the polarity of the circuit, and how to manipulate the circuit to work with the 3 Volt LED's by making series/parallel circuits out of the one big parallel 12 volt lamp circuit. I use jumpers and resistors to make this work. You have to be up on your game, because there may be no going back when you go down this road with modifying the cluster CB.
