Another LED Swap, pics inside!

I just finished up a complete LED swap for 'Cat' on these forums. She wanted all white, I got as close as I could, interesting how the LCD's turned blue when they had white lights behind them.

pics:

they are all soldered on, the only bulbs were the keyring, the ash tray, and the lighter ring. I soldered in some 5mm LED's with resistors in their place.

Wow the red looks so good.

BTW Rob where did you order them? The red leds that is. I just had to get the plcc-2 ones and alot were the 4 pin ones so i had to place them kinda to the side a lil on the climate control and there are some kinda dull spots due to it. Also might be that they are just some ebay leds.

Also i just saw that oznium finally has the SUPER small ones that are in the radio face so though i might try those out.
