Remember these? Tibby01 made them by modding the original climate controls with LEDs..



And the view from the back with all his handiwork.. (good view of his knees too!)



Well let me tell you, it looks VERY complicated and I can find no faults with his soldering...

And here is what I did to them:



Got the white faces off of ebay and they are just as good a quality as the original.. gonna be really hot when I get my new dash all finished and painted Dark Forest green...

Thanks, Chris!

you're welcome dude. im VERY interested to see how they come out with the white faces illuminated. have you lit them up with the white fafces on yet?

if you want to give it a test, you could get a 9v battery. hook ground up to one of the exposed leads. make a little slit in one of the heatshrunk areas and hook the power up to it. just be sure to wrap it in electric tape afterwards.

glad you like them.

I may have to do that.. I wanted to get some liquid insulator anyway for the exposed grounds... just to be safe.

*edit*

here we go.. fresh off of the digital camera... I am going to have to add some diffusion in there to make it more even...

looks sweet man..... all this talk about what you're doing w/ your car, i'm personally gettin impatient for the end result. keep it up

hey mad how much cutting or anything else did you have to do to those whitefaces after the fact?
and where or who did you get them from on ebay

Mad-Machine

october it is paid off.... I am going to turn that money I am not spending on keeping it.. towards making it "mine" I definatly intend on having the body done this year (before the first of jan) with everything installed and painted come spring.. And I know my suspension needs work.. it has 100k on it and it is beginning to wander a bit under acceleration... so I hope by summer to have everything but the engine done..

hmmm, was there diffusion on the backs of the stock peices? i thought it looked pretty even before i sent it to you.

make sure all the leds are snuggly pushed in there.

Mad-Machine

yea.. those white faces are replacement.. you take the old ones off and stick the new ones on... not a big deal.. not only do they make automotive gel, they make diffusion too
