Re: New to this. Need help
Hey my name is AJ too! Welcome to the site. Read through the LED conversions that RedRyder posted.
My 2 cents...
I have auto-climate controls so it may be different, I want to just state that the LEDs I got were a very tight fit and would not turn/twist at all (T4 and T5). However, they did make contact and light up without issues some of them I had to take out and flip around. The polarity is directional on most LED bulbs, I would try to pry them out and flip them around. Make sure you test the funtion before you put everyting back together. You may just have crappy LEDs from ebay.
I got mine from two sources:
http://www.precisionled.com - I used the kit for interior lighting (Dome, map, doors, trunk and liscence plate) - all white
http://www.superbrightleds.com - Purchased individual bulbs (gauges, cruise button, sunroof buttons, climate control and clock) - all red
superbrightLEDs - red (I have reverse glow gauges) It looks like there are alot of hot spots but its just the camera, everything is nice and even.
PrecisionLED - white
Good luck. I love how everything turned out.
