This was a while back. Soldering and more soldering. Car is dirty.

 

Looks good. Any instructions on how you did it?

 

sorry i don't have it. just take the odometer and open it up then desolder the old smd leds and put in new one. it's faster if you know how to solder.

 

That does look really slick. Good idea. Makes the option of going to an aftermarket head unit more do-able. Before I wouldn't even consider it.

 

Did you use specialized smd soldering tools? It would be difficult to use a standard soldering iron from Radio Shack.

 

Nice man!!! Looks good!!!

 

I can solder, What size LEDs are they, and which did you use?

Thanks!
Trevor.

 

I use weller soldering station with a sharp tip for the smd. Kinda hard at first. Just takes a few practices from the bread board. hehehe. I got the toshiba genuine leds. These are Cree P4 60 Degree superflux from digikey.com

Here are more pictures I left out.

 

They are the Toshiba SMD leds and it's 1206 type leds

 

thanks

 

So did you need some resistors for the foot well lights? I love how they look. Must be very bright in person.

 

That looks good. Now you just need to add one of our WMW LED dome lights.

 

oh yeah, they are! i also did my reverse lights. i'll have to take some more pictures. i did 6 superflux on each side footrest. 2 strings or 3 leds at 50mA. i did 12 in the domelight above. 25 in the reverse lights. and 5 amber on the side markers. 3 in the license plate on each side. going to do the tail light soon. right now i'm working on the front turn singal. oh yeah i also refab my own 3rd brake lights with 12 red/orange superflux leds at 60mA. i am going to do the tail lights turn singal into sequential. hehehe


thanks again for the compliment!

 

sorry i already did that too. the only thing i am leaving out is the front and rear bumper side markers. everything else are leds. custom made. hehehe.

thanks for the compliment.

 

i wish i could show you guys how they are done. but such a time consuming tasks. just be patient. right now i am working with high power leds. 1w 2w or 3w leds. they are like 10x more brighter and just one led

 

Nice to see somebody doing custom LEDs. Do you spend time on the LED Forum? If so, what is your handle there?

 

yeah alot of trials and error...lol

 

here are the pictures as promised.
