Raf99 : 1993 Accord EX

[NH-503P-3]

I just pulled wire through some tight situations for a wire tuck. I’d rather do 5 more variable intermittent wiper mods before I do a drivers side wire tuck again lol. I’m glad you got it handled John. It’s a great mod for anybody who drives in wet weather.

Alright, on to the next project. And I will say it's the final project that I have parts for....

Hint... this copper thing sprung out and I heard it hit the floor. On hour #3 of trying to find it now

Re: Power steering cooler

I have ran without one for about 11+ years now. I only drive the car in the summer tho and only around 700-800 miles.

and no issues? the reservoir gets hot eh?

I like the backlit on the switch. Very nice.

[Raf99]

Ya, I'll have a proper pic soon, but think of what the drivers side will look like combined with this. I thought about swapping the blue and red, but I like the blue being the back light and red the accent.

[Grumpys93]

Yep I think you made the right choice with the red and blue background. Mark hooked me up with some crv switches that are red as well. How did you get the backlit to work? Did you have to sand it a bit to allow some light to get through the sides?

[Raf99]

Hey

I just ran the blue LED along the side of the switch. There's enough gap to allow light to show through. I use to have this setup prior and learned that you need to put it on the correct side. On the passenger side I'm putting the light on the left side (inside) shining to the right. Also trying to get it mid way on the switch. Never in direct line of sight too. Depends on the angle or how tall you are in the seat here too.

This looks really well done. I think the color combination if unique.

[Ferocious Cake]

So clean, seeing all these beautiful works of CB art is giving me the itch to get back into the trade!

[Raf99]

Thanks for the kind words all!

You all get the idea here. I used a combo of liquid electrical tape and hot glue to make things stay. Solder LEDs to resistors and run to 12V power and ground.












Going to tweak this a bit. Move the blue light a bit, fix the lower right red light which appears to be dimmer than the rest. Just have the rear doors left to do!

[Raf99]

Same goes for the rear buttons...



Run the blue light as a back-light


Pics don't do this justice...





Think I need to red tint out the rear door lights that are bright....

John, where did you buy the LEDs and resistors from? Got a link?

[Raf99]

John, where did you buy the LEDs and resistors from? Got a link?

No. But i'm using 3mm LEDs. You can get a 3mm / 5mm multi-color set from ebay or anywhere really. Probably can find these pre-wired for cars, but would cost more. here. And the resistors are 560ohm which I determined by googling and doing the math. & using a bit more resistance to dull the LED lights won't hurt here. The below link is very helpful for anyone getting into this.
