Give 'em (sell) to me!

I have wanted to do this but have had no idea what to do for resistors...

w3rd! hahaha

yeah the restistors n stuff confuses me too.hahaha

but i got a question... if you tap into the power source for the shifter, do the P,R,N,D4,D3,D2,D still light up?

99cfenvy... what color LEDs do you got? mayb you could sell some to mee too.

put em in your doors, light your center console, convert them into shifter LEDs etc

do you guys have any pictures on how to do this?

I just installed some. It was really easy.

I didn't take any pics while doing it tho Sry.
I could try to help guide someone if they wants to hit me up on AIM or PM me sometime. whatever works.

You installed the cup holder LED? How much were the LED bulbs?

 

[GoldnKnight22]

i got them from SuperBright LED's...with resistors already built in.

EDIT: the link

LW-12 Wired LED
http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=PCB

I grabbed 3 in case I messed one up.
I actually did break the lead off of the LED but salvaged it with mah soldering skillz. haha.


I would sand down the top of the LED's so that they are flat and clearish, so that the light dispurses better.

will a 470 ohm resistor work?
