[QUOTE="Justintoxicated, post: 1096302, member: 561240"] GOt the LED's Just wanted to let people know that they DO make a difference. Especialy the GaAlAs 5mm version. It was Noticably easier to trigger the HU. the 3mm IR LED on the Pac is of good qualiy though, the high power nearly makes up for it's loss of beam angle. I tried some less powerful ones at closer ranges with more beam angle and was able to set the sensor off on the HU easier. There are better LED's than the cheap ones I usedbut I would suggest the 3mm version with 40 deg beam, that I tried or the 5mm GaAlAs if you jsut need a bit more power. After playing and being unsuccessful in areas I had drilled I ended up using the stock LED though. I found a new location that does not look like it would work but it does [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] The Smaller LED was favored because it is less than 1 inch from the Sensor on my HU and also because of it's bluish color , knowing it is a 3mm GaAlAs and size. THere are some crazy POWERFUL IR led's that I maybe have been able to get working, but they emmit so much light that they can damage your esys if you look at them directly, and you cannot see the light! Anyone interested here is a good link to start with [URL="http://ledmuseum.home.att.net/ledir.htm"]http://ledmuseum.home.att.net/ledir.htm[/URL] If you would like to try a 5mm GaAIA LED with your PAC because you have problems with sunlight on the HU or LED shoot me a pm I have $15 in IR LED's that I have no use for! this 5mm is probably several times brighter than the stock LED (Although invisable light :P ) I did not check the current from the PAC but I would assume it is not Op[timal for a higher power replacement.
