Yea...u r in the wrong topic...:D

In order to change the light u must dissassemble the dashboard, i think. And i don't think there is any other color choice of EL meter for saga lmst. Maybe can modify the EL from meter of other cars? not sure ..

Done my daylight project months ago... but its powered from normal AA DC batteries as too lazy to do the voltage regulator & don't want to mess around with the car's 12V batt. Had some resistors in else would hv drained my batts long time ago coz I left it switched for hours (in carparks) so many times! Parallel, 5 each side, but limited viewing angle, only cars directly infront can see it. Putting in reflectors won't help much. Maybe will increase the number of LEDs later.

xcmeo: Where did you place the batteries? and did you ever tried to have a switch to go with it?

 

[xcmeo]

simefly - I pulled a pair of wire all the way fr the lights to the batteries placed in the passenger cabin area. Of coz there is a switch but often forget to off, will put one indicator led on my dashboard later. Our main car lights got buzzer to remind us to switch off, unlike this diy thingy...

i dunno if this is what u guys have been toking about..
i did this using the angle eyes method..
1 side is powered by only 1 white LED n 1 resistor
