gauge led problem

It wasn't to hard. I just used a pocket knife to start it with then went to nail polish remover to finish the job.

Does anyone know of a write up for the fod light switch that doesn't have two different LEDs?

easy...i use a 3mm led with a 480 resistor soldered to the long lead of the led then solder it directly to the the switch terminals...idk i have pics of it tho

Got it done. It was a whole lot easier then I thought that it would be.

Now all that is left is the wheel and clock.

BTW, thank you everyone that helped.

It looks great..:top:

What's the wattage rating for the resister, or does it even matter? What two terminals do I solder to? I know there is four. To be honest I haven't haven't taken the switch apart to look at it yet. I am just going off the pics from the write up on here.

Thanks man

Thanks man

the 2 terminals in which you can see the bulb twists into (stock halogen bulb)
iirc, the resistor part runs on the bottom terminal

and i buy bulk...not sure what wattage lol

How about a write up on how to do the steering wheel controls. I know you have the take the air bag off. Before that you have to discontent the battery and let it sit for half an hour or more. Just would like a play-by-play, ya know.

Cool, Thanks Dave. I didn't see that one when I was lookin at all the how-to's

looks good. Green is mos def original. I like the contrast.

I had mine done in green also because that's the only color LEDs that were left and they were free. I like the way mine turned out

I got the steering wheel controls done but had one hell of a time doing the fog light. The write up on here isn't very good and the way you said Jerez didn't work either.
