Blue led dash conversion

Looks great. Could you tell me site where you bought the blue led? Ty

 

I decided to finally push through to the end and do my window switches today.





I was a little surprised to find that these have a 3mm domed LED in them.

I just plonked in some of my last 1206's.


The driver's door is a completely different kind of thing.





Five 1206 LEDs will do the trick here.

@bonchang, @RightOnTime, @sfv41901, @Gaspeed, @m3pare, @aportades, @saulbassfan, @Burna J

 

I have red, white and blue LEDs ordered.

 

If that shopping list is final I am ordering too

 

Yes, simplified and expanded.
It now includes specs for the windows switches.

 

Here it is

 

I'm thinking: ready light, turn signals, dummy lights, ev/eco/pwr indicators

 

I think if your able to accomplish this....I might have to promote you to interim junior grasshopper in waiting to be junior staff master...........

 

I have revised and simplified the shopping list post:

The Seat Heat buttons are new territory.



These guys have LEDs that aim 90° to the circuit board.


The trick to replacing these guys is using a Dremel with an etching bit, then gently grinding away the plastic, and being careful to leave the underlying rails intact.


Then solder in some upgrades!



Here is @bonchang's retrofit.

 

That look tough. High chance of mistake doing the heater mod

 

It is delicate work. But I think the head unit is the most difficult. The LEDs in the head unit are particularly tiny and there are 58 of them.

 

Don't worry....the mad scientist @Dylan Doxey will take care of that.

 

Its just funny money!

 

I'm browsing the net for some information for the multi color led. Is that a 5mm? Kathode or anode? I found some red-blue combination which (i think) is better than the green-orange combo.

 

It is 5mm. But I don't know anything more. Maybe we will get a chance to open one up on Saturday and gather more data.

 

I remember the ignition switch 3mm LED longer terminal to be the K so I'm guessing the 5mm dual color to have the center terminal, which is the longest among the 3 to be - .

 

Hey Dylan, is it PLCC-2 or 1206 for the solar roof cooling button?

 

I haven't seen one of those buttons yet. Is this it?


All those buttons around the dash dimmer use a 1206 type LED.

 

I'd like to do this before July

Some awesome work, @Dylan Doxey
