Looks damn nice, wanna share how you did the LED interior? Mainly which LED's and resistors

Shaar · 11-09-05, 08:41 PM

thank you all for the positive comments. next i'm hoping for a drop and some hid's. interior is done aside from the flushmount of the touchscreen next week. also considering some s2000 sidemarkers with amber bulbs. thinking that would be a movement in the right direction.

hmm. the leds i used were just 3mm red 5000mcd led's. the resistors came with the 100 led's i ordered so i'm not sure exactly what they were, but from my calculations, they should be 820 ohm resistors. Remember, if you're putting the led's in a series, you will need less resistance or your leds will be dim. if you're keeping them single, the 820 ohm resistors will be perfect. The gauges i just switched out the 4 bulbs to red 194's. the gear indicator in the cluster i changed it all to red along with the turn signals and cruise control. for those you will have to take the cluster apart and remove the colored plastic in front of each indicator you want to change, trace the little square out onto a clear folder of your choice (pick your colors) and cut 3 for each indicator followed by the same size/shape piece of plain paper to flatten out the light and prevent it from looking cheap and hot spotty.

if that doesn't help out, let me know i'll try my best to give back to the community!

car looks tits man, good job...

so are you talking about the bulbs in the top of the console? you replaced them with red ones so the numbers on the guages look red?

no i actually chose not to put the bulbs in on top of the cluster. i only replaced the 4 that were behind the cluster. this way it has a more modern look to it rather than the entire face of the cluster having a glow to it only the number glow through from behind. MUUUUUUUUCH nicer

lmao ^^^ (Now if THAT ain't the pot calling the kettle black...)

But really, Shaar, how'd you get everyone out of the parking lot? Did you use a tripod? (must have)

I am using Routis 2004 for software (not updateable but works great.. has all the roads i need). and as far as hardware, i'm using the Globostat BU-353 GPS reciever. The screen i chose was the Lilliput 629GL.
