Interior Lighting, converting to LED's Options

[jeffrosie]

Want info on converting interior lights - climate control button lights, to LED's.
Looks like there are already LED's in there but they are green. Want to change them to blue and red.
Anybody done this, is the voltage already stepped down for the LED's??

No problem with that... you just need some experience with that to avoid re-modifing it many times beforre it will look really good...

a) green LEDs (they are on when button is active only) is just direct swap... but... you have to find small enough round LEDs (3mm) or square LEDs to fit. Also is recomended to not using high illuminated LEDs for this (if you try you find why )

b) bulb replacenet is bit more complitaded because bulb has wider angle beam than LEDs -> you may expect darker and lighter sports using LEDs. To minimize that is essential using high illumination LEDs. Plus you must use proper resistors or LEDs will burn (usual working voltage for LEDs is 3.5-4.5V)
