^^ I'm not talking about gels. I'm talking about a actual true red lens.

It's kinda expensive material.

Alright DTN, that's pretty much the price that StrikeEagle gave me a while ago, only $5 less. He told me that these are from, if i recall correctly, military flash lights.

I'll try and send you the money this weekend, send me your paypal addy.

Umm, one more question, on the cruise and defoger, did you guys solder the leds were the old leds were or did you guys put them in the little clipers and screwd them in like the original ones? I have them screwd in like the original ones and i dont know if they will light up like that.

I was just wondering how I am to wire the leds.....Ive rewired them about 3 different times now, and only get one to light up in each block, and then with rewiring get the working ones to move to another, so i know all the leds are working, just not all at the same time, just really stuck at the moment, Thanks

^You might be shorting across the LEDs or heating them up too much durring your soldering. Some of the LED housings are painted with metalic paint and not plastic. I had to burn off the edges of the LED holder with a soldering ironwhere my leads touched because of that chrome being actual metal and not plastic.

I did mine already, it was kinda easy, just that i used my cruise and defoger to learn and i cant manage those two switches to work.

Hey DTN, when can i buy a lense from you?

But if I heated them up to much while soldering, wouldn't they just not work at all, cause like i said ive tried three different methods and each time a different one lights up...generally speaking its the second led in each block that works
