ebay ! or find an electronics store

 

we all know the twistlocks from superbrightleds are keyed incorrectly & don't make good contact without untwisting them halfway, so what have some of y'all done to mitigate that? half my lights trun on & off when bumps/vibrations jar the minimal connection

 

great thread.. will be coming back for directions hopefully in the future when I get the next truck.


has anyone done the orange? Curious how that looks

 

did a full led conversion for my cluster panel now i need help with the AC controls can't get them to turn on after the swap

 

How about the Headlight switch, how does the LED attach to the circuit board? Do you replcae the bulb in the removable housing or just go straight to the board? And which terminal is positive on the board?

Edit:
OK I got an LED on the board and figured out which side is positive. I hooked everything up and its pretty dim once all the trim and face plates get put back on. Waiting to see how it looks after the sun goes down.

 

OK all the LED's i put in work but they are dimmer than the stock bulbs, whats up with that. I used 5mm dome top green LED from radio shack with a 470 resistor. Any suuggestions?

 

get creative. . . . I have 4 of them on mysetup

The "reflector" on the inside is made to spread he light

 

I mean they are really dim. Dimmer than stock bulbs. In going to try a different color and see if it works.

 

bought these - the first flat top blue ones on the list
5mm Super Bright flat top LEDs from Leading-LEDs.com - Your Source for High Quality, Low Cost LEDs


Hoping to get them installed tomorrow and see how they look.

 

OK got em on and they are superbright and awesome! I also think I may have figured out how to light up the dimmer symbol at the bottom of the dimmer wheel. I drilled a small hole in the dimmer plaastic housing, then soldered in an LED to the posts the orginal bulb ran off of. I forgot to put a resistor in and I would recommend it cuz I blew the first LED out when I hooked it up to power. I need to extend the LED just a bit to get it in the hole though, but you guys get the idea.
