LEDs for Dash and Controls

[DReed86]

Whats up guys,

I know Surman does this but its how he makes money so Im sure he wont tell me....

But does anyone know what size and where I can buy the leds that are used in the dash for the control knobs, radio, steering wheel and other stuff???

Any good sites to go to and how many I would need to replace everything.

I know its generic but thanks!

no clue, sorry dude

Ok so Im pretty sure the leds are either 0603 or 0805 size.... can anyone make a suggestion???

come on bro u know i did this. yea check oznium or uniqueleds.com and look for 1206. the others are super tiny and they belong in like a ps3 remote. i cracked open a ps3 remote and swapped out the lights for the controller numbers and they're 0603. still bright but more of a pain to solder.

oh my bad. my phone b trippin sometimes and i miss comments. well nah i dont think that many, on second thought, maybe. lemme look thru the pics. how abt i upload them in my album if i can find em

*update, i dont have the pics on hand but i'll try n get back with u when i do. do u have an aftermarket stereo??

[DReed86]

No I have the stock radio which is where Im going to need most of my leds Im sure.... I asked Surman before if he would do it for me and he said it was such a B*&tch he wouldnt do it again so Im kind of worried about that.

[ItsEcko06]

i do have my old radio so i can check the LED count and put up some pics cuz theres a bunch. i don't have my cam with the pics so that might be a day or 2 to get cuz its a hassle removing the dash.

u any good at soldering? i bought a new soldering iron so i had 2 total and it made it a lot easier to remove the LEDs. i've had my trial and error but i think i got it down. plus soldering irons aren't much. maybe starting at 7 at radio shack. i got like a $20 one so i could use different tips and so on.

[DReed86]

Oh yeah Ive done lots of soldering i soldered my entire audi lights so ive done lots of soldering... But I may still need a bit of help... Well see I ordered 50 of the 1206 leds yesterday so once they come in im going to start working on it...

[ItsEcko06]

aaweesoommmee. well u should be good.
hey im planning on doing my own LED tails, u know a good amt abt resistors and transistors and stuff like that? i did some research on custom LED tails and i know its not as simple as wiring LEDs together, this one guy was putting all kinds of components on it to work properly

[DReed86]

Damn bro thats a little to hi-tech for me.... Im just learning this stuff as I go but Daniel K knows a lot about that stuff are you friends with him on facebook??? If not Ill suggest you. He is building his own custom tails too!
