my friend and i tried to install led lights on his climate control. we switched the stock led orange lights to white leds. but the white led won't light up when he turn the lights on, is it because the led doesnt dim (when the lights are on, the stock led lights dims)?
also we have trouble installing the 5mm leds to switch the light bulbs with sockets. i know it'll be easier to use a 3mm led but we dont know where to get the 3mm ones. also we dont know where the positives and negatives are to replace the socket ones. can some one tell me how to install with the 5mm?? or where can i get 3mm leds?? |

you don't need resistors for the new leds that replaced the original unless they have different voltage requirements. The reason they don't come on when the head lights are on is because the new leds require more voltage than the original leds did in order to turn on. what are the specs on the leds your using? you might just cut the dimmer wire going into the ac control and they will stay on all the time, other wise you might need to think about getting a different type of led. as far as fitting the 5mm led into the 3mm place you might just file the plastic down. thats what i did when I modded my ps2 controller to have a blue led instead of red. Hope I helped. --------------------  Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |
