what kind of LED do I need? if possible, could you send me a link for it? and I'm up for any suggestions you have for all the interior lighting.. I'm just wanting red and white LED interior, but idk what colors to do everything in

withn an 09 radio yes

do you know how many LEDs it takes?

like 5 or 6 im pretty sure. ill check when i get home

There's 5 as shown here

im having trouble with my install in my 06 ss i cant get the d/s window swicth and my driver info button to be bright. i know its not the bulb its the way it is trying to disperse the light

thanks man.. my LEDs should come in the mail tomorrow, then I'll try to get mine in! if I can figure out how to put some pics on here, I'll upload my pics of it when I get done. can't decide if i'm gonna go white or red though

jest gotta play around with different things you'll get them right.

svitch polarities?

09xfebalt, do you have a pic of what the polarities are for the head unit? I dont think I have a meter to test it

If your going to do this yourself you should understand this. On the factory leds looking at the led at the side that lights up, so that will be the top left there is an angled corner to the LED. That notates the negative side.

my 3mm red LEDs are not bright at all, so I'm gonna have to go with a different color I think

im trying to do my hvac bright white... is there any way to get rid of the blue film?

Or get super bright ones. Ultra Bright the water clear ones is what I used to get mine

I thought I posted up on this Its pretty much impossible. The light blue that it comes out as really looks good though, its what I have In my car.

yea sorry I must have missed it. it does look good with the blue tint its just not what i was going for lol but i guess it is what it is.

I couldn't find super bright 3mm.. I only found the super bright ones in 5mm. I think I've just decided to go blue with it cause I have some pretty bright blue LEDs left over from when I changed the lights in my 06 Balt.

Go to my link and buy some very cheap^^

I was under the impression that they had to be 12 volt, but ok. Thanks!:twothumbs

Pm me if you go this route for more info

Got the red figure out using a resistor so they dont blow up, Sorry to who ever had to deal with this.

Made this one for cobalt08ls. If he does not like it it will be for sale. Only thing I have trouble with is getting the numbers to really pop like the rest that being said heres pics of what it looks like.

thanks brandon! cant wait!

I was trying to re-solder some different, brighter LEDs on and ran into a major prob with my head unit.. The plates that the LEDs solder onto are falling off.. Right now I have them as a really dim blue and I can't fix them unless I get a new circuit board :thumbsdow
Everything else is good though

buy a new radio take off the faceplate and solder to it then sell the scrap to whoever wants to buy (notifying that the board is fucked)

Haha, that's about the only choice I got if I wanna fix it.. Problem is that I'm broke right now and can't afford a new one
