Led Conversion

**JonesG** · 10th November 2011, 12:15

I really want to do the full conversion on my car. Could you help me out with what led's i would need and how many of each.

Just bought temp controled soldering iron from maplins.

Is crazy led's the best place to buy them from?

Thanks

Not done this myself but I'm sure you can get the LED's from other places such as:-

Rapid Electronics

Farnell

I got mine from ebay and I am also selling a blue converted led headlight switch and blue led converted auto dimming mirror.

i want to go with a bright white and red dash lee otherwise i would have bought them from you mate.

That is a very good how 2 you put together.

Just out of interest how easy is this to do, i have got all the things now to do the job and have done soldering/wiring in the past so hope i will be ok.

Looking at the how 2 but there is no speedo one. Can anyone tell me how many and what leds are used in the speedo?

Thanks

The speedo uses 'odd' side leds so I got them from Crazeyleds.

I solder for a living so for me its not hard at all but its very easy to use too much heat and either kill the led or pull the pad of the board.
