Window Control LED's
 

Well on this endless quest for a totally blue truck I just finished my passenger window control conversion.

I pulled out the single bulb that was there and wired up a double led and resistor. After I did that I added some mirror tape around the inside to maximize the light speading.

Before the tape it looked ok... kinda blue... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

After the tape.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> .... way brighter and more even.

Ill get pics soon....

like you did before. was it easy to do the headlight and window control panels?

Re: Window Control LED's
 

No they arnt 194.. not even close...

If you thought the dash etc is hard.. dont even try this...

I got 2 3mm blue leds with 22deg viewing angle and 1500 ... like this:

Hey guys, did you know about this place?

LED TRONICS

They are much brighter then normal ones.

Re: Window Control LED's
 

A write up? Sure no worries lemmie get some pics taken. It was kinda hard though... way harder than the dash etc....

I was thinkin about making a kit to change out all the stuff inside to blue...

Who would be interested?

I would be interested! My lights are starting to go out in my dash (two on the A/C controls, one on the headlight dimmer switch) and I was looking to replace them anyway.

Is the wiring really all that hard? There's only two things that I refuse to work on--electronics and wiring! LOL

ya, mac i would be interested in a kit. it would match everything else i have in my truck. check out my dash pics in my signature. obviously i wouldn't need the cluster bulbs. my g-tech matches my dash too. i have a new clarion mp3 player coming that has 730 different color options to choose from for the display. i am sure that will be easy to match everything else. all i need to do now is the map, door, A/c, driving light, window & locks switches <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
