Need some ideas, LED configurations.

[jboyce]

Yesterday i went and picked up some LED lights to put in my car, i drilled a couple holes on the side of the console where the shifter is, and put 2 where the cigarette lighter used to be. they are all red though. i'm using 2.3 volt leds and 1ohm resistors to those.

just curious if anyone knows how to maybe add dimming knobs, on/off switches, or maybe how to make a combination of different colored leds blink in unicin/patterns. i picked up all my little leds for less than $5 so i dont want anything to expensive, i have a sauder gun, and extra wire to run throughout the car already. i dont really know anything about wiring, i just learned how to sauder yesterday, and what resistors were for.

so basically i want stuff i could probaly pick up at a local store like radio shack.

Cluster Lighting

I have found where some of you changed the bulbs in your cluster and in the AC/Heat controls different colors. Most of the pics dont work anymore and I was wondering how and what it looked like. I want to make mine all blue. Do i have to take the whole dash out to do this as well and what bulbs are needed. Some pics would be great as well for a finish product. Thanks

Anyone have some good pics on the gauges redone and the climate control redone that you could post. Most of the ones in the old threads are not working anymore. Thanks
