| Hehe, better than that, I removed all the little peanut bulbs from my dashboard lighting and soldered in bl000 LEDs and resistors... All the controls now light up blue rather than manky-green... Now thats a bl00 LED mod! |

| This is the worst pic ever.... http://www.sheol.org.uk/car/Dash1.JPG I'm still waiting for some reverse indiglos to finish off the guages, and the fag lighter loghts up now... plus in reality my dashboard isn't nearly as blurry.... Looks better when its fully dark too.... |

| It's a Honda Accord, but it can surely be done to any car... The bulbs are in little holders in most cars, you take them off, replace them with an LED and solder a SMD resistor on the back... like this:  Of course, it helps to have a guide specifically for your car Guide: http://www.igd4u.com/modules.php?op=...=article&sid=2 |

| right sorry for the delayed reply, but i've been to the JAE car show with my motor. the lights were standard cold cathodes, i hard wired them into the 12V rail (nicked off the fag lighter) then i got another heated rear window switch, found out witch pins to the switching and got two spade connectors onto them, then run power cable from the front to the back shelf and to the foot wells. once there i cut the molex connectors off the inverter cables so i was left with the connector. the inverter can take two tubes so so i only had to wire up two inverters. Bobs ur uncle, you have lights in your car! She's got a tongue like an electric eel and she likes the taste of a man tonsils!! |
