finally.

I used a 5mm LED instead of a 3mm because Radio Snack didn't have 3mm ones. The 5mm is almost too big but still fit.

I likey and the 5mm is very bright. Now everything is blue.

Nice! Gonna order me LED's now!

I did mine with a 3mm blue LED a while ago now and it is way too bright. Like at night it can be distracting!

I just did my climate control unit last week and am pleased with the results. I did increase the series resistors on that though so that they aren't stupidly bright. All that's left now is the clock. Gotta find a blue tic tac case....

Those plastic folder divider tabs would work well, too although the tic-tac case is thicker plastic. Oh and FYI if you remove the old brownish plastic, you can use it as a template to mold the tic-tac plastic to, just use a hair dryer to warm the new plastic and hold it against the old plastic until it cools. I did this and got the correct tabs and everything to mount my new blue plastic to the clock face and it worked great!

Cool thanks for the heads up. I'll stick with the tic-tac case though. I was planning to just trace the old plastic and file out the shape/tabs. I don't quite get your hairdryer idea...
