Clock LED Question

[talontsiawd]

I used a 3mm led, it's turned sideways. Then i have a diffusor cap on it.

Do you mean sideways like pointing it towards the clock numbers? (90 degrees)

The light is faced parallel to the numbers. This wouldn't work without the diffusor cap though and have a very narrow projection. You can buy the caps pretty much anywhere they sell LED's.

you stick them over leds and they spread the light out. you can also buy ones with the diffuser built in called 360 degree LEDs.

I just have the center console, sunroof(sh!tty), cruise(sh!tty), and clock(sh!tty) done. The console looks good because I got the kit from ledautomotive, everything use i'm using crappy radio shack leds which I'll probably replace soon. If you really want to, this weekend I could probably get a picture of the center console but I know I've seen pics of red led interiors on this board.

Ive never really seen red that much period. Seems like there is a ton of blue though...

The new LEDautomotive Kits are better than the older ones. I bought them originally about 3 years ago, and recently replaced them, and theyre a LOT a lot better. white ftw:leeann:

Yeah I think blue is kinda played out.. Did that in my old car

Ok, unless you take out the diffuser panel (a little blue peice of plastic pretty much on the LCD screen), the LED is going to be extremely dim, or at least mine was. I suggest taking it out and putting a piece of paper behind it. And to whoever was asking for pics of RED leds Heres a link to a video of me driving, I have the red led kit done on both my dash and gage cluster, however the video shows the cluster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwqSOq5BMjg
