DIY Meter Panel LED lighting

[bugbear1986]

hi guys...
juz wana share d result of my upgrade on LED lighting...

changing d led is easy, but be careful wif d dashboard panel.. bcoz is made by plastic..

from yellow to bright white...!... yippeee~~~

another shot... V

gear console only needs one t10

as for d meter, total 4 t10 for background... t4.2 cant remember...
there r two types of LED needed, this one is T4.2 type.. only can use for certain indicators like:
GEAR, signal, fuel, temperature...

as for the back ground... is d common type T10.. i ll only show u d rare type.. T4.2

d result~~:

btw, if u wr stayin in penang area, go for 99accesories in bm.. they selling alot of leds..
trust me, its cheap too compare to market & online price...

i did my aircond panel....use T5.

my meter panel LED bulbs dont last long....so boring yellow bulbs work just fine

u go to electronic shop, buy a LED and resistor(perintang). u say wan convert 15v 400 amp to suit LED voltage n ampere. ask shop to find correct n suitable resistor(perintang ). 1 led about rm1 n resistor oso rm1. i try to ask wat colour of resistor i post again.

cool... that was my last plan... by end of July.

looks like have to build our own T5 / t10 coloured LED...

anyone can find red or purple T10 LED?

 

[artworkz]

i find ord a resistor color code for convert 12 volt to LED voltage. simply u jz solder a led to led anod lead(+). u nd resistor 470 ohm.

Bump: nd correction... for LED safety use 560 ohm resistor coz car batt normally operate more den 12 v.
