s_13 2 Posted November 28, 2007 It might be an idea to sand the led's with wet/dry to give a matte effect to distribute the light better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s_13 2 Posted November 28, 2007 would a 5000mcd led be too bright?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s_13 2 Posted November 29, 2007 I swapped to the white led the other day... Massive improvement over the blue. Now, where to put those spare blue ones??? Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hanso 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Awesome guide, looks so much better than the stock bulbs & only a fraction of the price too!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisu 1 Posted January 25, 2008 Good write up mate. The only thing I would suggest to do on top of that is either Option1: Slide some heat shrink over the resistor after step 6 Option 2: after completing step 7, get mum's hot glue gun out and put a dob of glue over the exposed resistor/LED legs This way they will be protected from shorting against itself or anything else it may contact.

180boi 2 Posted April 12, 2008 jsut did mine to bright red. worked a treat. only get jaycar etc to match the resistor to the led you choose to be safe. took me bout 20mins. well worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nebz 7 Posted July 24, 2008 I just bought direct replacement 12v t3 leds from ebay costme like 5 bucks didnt have to do nothing but screw old ones out and put new ones in. They look great aswell lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s13-sil 0 Posted June 5, 2009 cheers for the write up dude i also put one in the rear demistor switch and works sweet too. if anyone knows how to dismantly the hazard and or fog light switches let me know and ill see if it can be done to these switches. Im currently stuck on opening them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodney 0 Posted January 22, 2010 Finished this mod last night & would like to thank the OP. I put some heatshrink around the resistor & LED anode, folded it down & then heatshrunk that as well. I used 3mm blue 1500mcd LEDs from Jaycar & think they look pretty alright, not too bright at night & a relatively even distribution of light. Has anyone been able to source or find out what LEDs are used behind the recirculation indicator for example? They're little rectangular-ish ones. I don't dare replace them without knowing what voltage & current they are supplied with. I think if replaced with red ones with a blue backlight, they'd look quite good. Thanks for a great guide!

Jero86 0 Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Does anyone know if there are 4 LED's for the Analogue version too? I only managed to find and replace the two on the top under a plastic flap so far but havent had time to take a proper look. I also just bought 4 of the T3 LED type ones off ebay for $10 so theres no soldering required, just direct screw in swap.
