ive searched this term and i know how to change the led's fairly easily. what im still in the dark about is the backlight. i want the knobs, etc to be blue. how do i do this without painting because im afraid that will make it too dim? i read i need 5mm LED's with 220 ohm resistors, but i dont know where to put them.

i'm starting to think a good way to get the climate control coloured would be to order 3 more toyota bulbs (toyota part num: 84999-70007). and 3 num 74 blue led bulbs. then transplant the leds (with resistors and any other parts on them) into the toyota bulb sockets.
not sure if the current would be correct though. but i *think* the worst case would be a fried led. i think ideally i'd want to modify the climate control unit to take 194 bulbs. but that seems like quite a mod. |
