Who would like to wire mine up for me. With the soldering and all that i just do not trust myself. I will pay for both ways of shipping and all the supplies you need! Just PM me and tell me if you would be nice enough to do it for me.

Also where do it get the condoms for the other REDING

sti gsxr where in nj are u ? pm me i might be able to help u out .... also to update u guys on this ... the red 5mm led is slightly too high to light this up properly u have to sand the led almost all the way down so it can sit closer to the bottom of the inside of the switch ...i will try to update this ..with new pics sometime this week

I would really like to do this as well. I have been meaning to get around to it for months, however I can't find a good write up. This one Ardinos did was alright but It really doesn't help wihtout a great picture step-by-step write up. Especially something this involved.

560 ohm may or may not be ok, you'll absolutely have to do the math to know, sorry man, no other way to put it. Look at the picture and you should see how the resistor goes, it's pretty self explanatory unless you haven't dealt with electronics ever, logically there is really only one way to wire this thing. IF you haven't got any electronics experience, your HVAC controls may not be the best place to start, no offence, but I'd hate to see someone screw up their controls trying to follow my directions. You can short something, fry one of the chips or just simply burn out the board if you aren't careful about what you're doing. If you're unsure, please, find someone in your local area who can help you or send them to me.

I don't want you to be afraid to try, just make sure you're careful about what you're doing. (Take it from someone who has learned a few times by breaking things, it's not the cheapest way to do things.)

Where is the resistor calculator? Also, why did you go thru the trouble of soldering in, why not jut run wires up tho the stereo or any 12V ignition and tap in there? Soldering = PITA and dangerous/risky for oem boards...

another question, if I have 3 12 volt red led's can I hook them up in parallel or essentially independantly tapped off of the 12V ignition radio lead? The radio shack specs are 12V 60 mA or 12V 15mA with a 680-ohm pre-wired resistor. AAAAAAAAARG help!

bump for more ideas and updates on those with new methods

[Rookie84]

Any updates or anyone that does this for money? I really want to get this done...

[izzodesh]

u are far otherwise i would do it in a heart beat!

about 8 threads from the top you will see this one
Detailed HVAC red light mod with step by step pics for 05 06
I did this last week and will be improving upon my methods this week or weekend. I don't currently do it for money but am contemplating since I do have 2 cores at home that I will be using as test mules. This thread linked to above is a good guideline for anyone. I am going to try internet available only LEDs for the next go due to the look of the dials at dusk only. In the dark they look perfect but at dusk they look a little uneven... and i mean only a little uneven. This method can be done by anyone anytime for about 30-40 dollars plus your time and sweat learning how to solder.

Very nice work, maybe sometime we could meet up. I want to try and do this sometime myself and i only live a few miles from you.

awesome thread might try it when ever i get time (Work!!!)

[OBiWrX_3zero3]

I found another way of doing the HVAC mod without having to solder and add L.E.D's to have the red look to it.... Currently working on it right now and will have a write up A.S.A.P...

[jason bouchard]

i can do the red light mod for anyone fully fuctional and dimming for any 05+ hvac with parts and return shipping i can do it all with my parts included (leds, resistors, wiring soldering ) and have it shipped back to you for 60$

if i need to pay the site for any seller fees pm me and let me know

[jaydow11]

I have a question, isn't there some type of red paint or dye that you can put on the stock LED's to make them red without having to replace them all with new ones??

Or is it because it woudn't be bright enough??

Thanks,

Jay
