I saw a post on this a long time ago. What I am trying to do is change the yellow/green LED's to blue lED's. I have a ton of LED's and resistors to make them into 12 volts. I have changed the bulbs for the knobs to LED's and they look and work great, but I cant figure out how to get the blue LED's to work in place of the yellow/green LED's that light up the little tab when the buttons are pressed. I put a volt meter across the prongs and I got 2.18 volts or something like that. I'm sure there is a post on this somewhere but I couldnt find it and I am looking for a little help.

resistors should only be needed if you're going to put a *led* in the place where a *bulb* should go.
if you're going for the leds under each button then all that is needed is to swap the led. don't put a resistor in and you should be good. i bought 3mm blue leds at: lsdiodes.com and they worked really well. i had to give each on a few swipes with a file before they fit perfectly though. not sure about the yellow light, that might be in the rear defrost button and might be a bulb and not a led. |
