Don&Patty Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have replaced the factory ?white? lights in the door panels, dash, and rear storage area with red LED?s. Also, placed red LED?s in the front side vents doesn?t look too bad. Will post some pic?s once done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don&Patty Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Doors - you will need 6 3mm LEDs with resistorsDash - you will need 7 3mm LEDs with resistorsMirror - you will need 12 5mm LEDs resistors are not needed.Trunk release button - you will need 1 3mm LED with a resistorTrunk area I used 8 red and 10 white 5mm LED's all with resistors. Started with just the red but was not bright enough so I added the white.The side vents I used 5 red 5mm LED's with resistors each side placed in a 2" X 3/8" block of plex-glass and wired with a switch so I can turn them off and on. I got all the LEDs and resistors at www.ozium.comAfter I did mine I found a web page that takes you through the process step by step. www.spdkilz.comMakes a beg difference in how the interior of your car looks, will worth the effort and time. The dash is a real PITA but again will worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don&Patty Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Got my LED's at Oznium.com. Really fast shipping, good prices. You can buy the LED's with the resistors already soldered on. Don't know how LED's would work without resistors. They are 1 to 3 volt lights and the cars are 12 and when the power is on BOOM. You can run them is series if you can get enough to equal 12 volts. That's what I did in the side vents. Anyway it's really not that hard to install them, the hard one was the review mirror. Anyway if you need help let me know.
