thanks guys..

here's the clock with the led.. i put in a 330ohm resistor and bent the wires according to how the stock bulbs were.




oh yeah and here's a 2005 clock i just converted

 

I know its an old thread, but man is this weird. I installed the PAC-NIS2 (having to remove the clock and bezel)... and low and behold the clock backlight doesnt work anymore. Nice to see its a common thing... but its not exactly cheap to replace them ($24 after taxes). I would hate to have to replace them everytime I unplug the clock. Anyway to prevent this from happening in the future?

 

I've had my center console off twice. Each time, one or both of the lights in the clock would go out. If I tapped on the clock screen enough, the lights would eventually turn on? You all should try that...nothing like a quick and easy fix.

 

well i just replaced mine... bought some teenie radio shack bulbs for $1.60. they were abit smaller than the stockers but it all went in just the same. Also, the stock bulbs were BURNT up bad... so nothing was going to fix them aside for replacement.

 

can anyone confirm this setup being ok for a clock LED? 3.6v white LED 20ma, 420ohm resistor (i do not know what watt to get)?

ANYONE?

 

if youre only using 1 LED a 1/4 watt would be fine, but id probably use a 1/2 watt just to be safe.

 

Please, link me?

 

Yes, direct link please? Easier the better for me!

 

I went to that site and couldnt find the right led bulb... direct link please???

 

No link...
