Has anyone done this? I know they draw less current so which ones should i go for, i dont want to blow a fuse or anyfink! Can you get them in halfords?

 

any useful tips would be appreciated :)

Cheers

Im thinking, speedo, PNRD21, overhead lights etc...

Interior lights or exterior? exterior (brakes lights etc) you're going to be looking at buying some new clusters or doing a fairly labour intensive conversion yourself (there are some guides out there on how to do these) interior bulbs begs the question "why?" :D for interior you can buy LED "bulbs" from some tuning places (harry halford might do some, or you could try ebay, seen some there before) they are direct replacements for stock interior bulbs with an LED inside and any resistors etc. that are needed to make them work.

voltage IN - voltage LED / led milliamp = series current limiting resistor.

 

eg:- ((12V - 3V) / 0.020) = 450 Ohm series resistor for a 12V supply.

been looking at maplins and they do 12v leds already..? Are these suitable do u think Cos?

Hey Robert

 

I'm currently trying to convert a set of rear lights to LED and clear lenses. I have about 100 clear (not coloured glass) per side thay are either red or amber when lit up.

 

Let me know how you get on and I'll post up some pics when they are done....

Dull sundays..ive just converted my left temp cluster to RED LEDs today...looks ok i think, no soldering required either! The auot, fan, econ, off buttons are all still yellow but that would require soldering and smaller LEDS (I used 5mm ones)

 

better than watching eastenders omnibus i guess! Only thing is by unscrewing the cluster the one of the screwholders broke (old) but one is enough to hold it!

Sounds good 100 though...u gonna be there some time buster!

Have you got any pics of the red converted cluster mate?

will do some when ive finished both mate..might get dimmer leds cos the ones ive got glow maybe a bit overkill...
