My LED Coversion Thread

[Kyle! 10+ year member]

It is far from plug and play, you have to wire in Resistors with the LEDs to convert them to 12 volts.... and you have to solder them in the right place, its hard as hell to get right the first time, it took me alot of trips back into the car to test the light before putting the switches back together, i made literatly 30+ trips but it was well worth it. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Thanks. I'll continue to look into this as a possible Christmas break project

For what its worth, you can do this pretty cheap, its just very time consuming and difficult if you have never done it before.

Nice idea. I need a LOT of new dash lights, but mind aren't stock LED.. they're just kinda shitty old lights they used in the 1990s.. how can I go about converting?

here, use these.. look at the ones towards the middle of the page. they are most commonly found for dash/buttons and such.

much much easier. all you have to do is pull the stock bulbs to find what fitting they use. then just purchase, plug and play, no need for soldering in tight places.

Is there any tutorials that you can link me to?

Looks like a fun, time consuming project.

I dont know of any Tutorials, i did this all by trial and error myself. Ill see if i cant find a write up or something.

If your car model has its own forum (ranger-forums.com) they will likely have quite a few tutorials for this type of thing

Like the projectors. No one has them for the regal, and the few members on regalgs that have made sets want 4-500 for them. Might tackle it one day.

You ever track your car?
