Ok I now have Green & White as well as Blue PLCC lights to put in here. I've already traded 2 so far, If you want any of these colors PM me for info about a trade plus 15 bucks. You pull yours out.. send it on over & I send you this one.. It aint gonna kill you to drive for a week without one. so if you dont want to pull yours apart & do the soldering swap, then PM me if you're interested.. BLUE, WHITE, or GREEN...... jh

 

how do you pull the mode out is it screwed on?

 

pull the airbag(disconnect that neg battery cable first), unscrew the mode assembly (one screw), pull toward you and unplug the wire

 

Big thanks to Martin --'xsintrk'-- for lending 2 hands in getting his swap done & bailing me out of a jam!!
Still got a BLUE one ready go for swap.. PM if interested... jh

 

yoooo i want that mode button. i never use it but still that would be sick. i just did my hvac (video tut coming soon) now i gotta read up on the radio and gauge face swaps.

 

yyyyyyyyyooooooo captian Butterknife.!! send me your assembly & I'll send you this one...... jh

 

hmm i gots an idea. im going to do my guage (and radio if i can figure out) leds. and it looks like the same leds for that. sooo since im going to be ordering that 50x of plcc-2 i was thinking i might do it myself and u could save that one for someone with know wiring/soldering skills. though if someon has some pics as to how to remove all this...

 

Well bud..... I know there is a DIY with pics on the gauges led swap... When I researched for my radio & found that the radio has SMT 1206's for leds which are even smaller than the plcc's... if you look at the DIY swap for the gauges, you'll see my post with the PLCC's along side my set of keys.. That will give you some frame of reference as to how small they really are.... So I wish you the best of luck with swapping out your radio leds, DJ......... As far as the SWC Mode button... it also has a SMT1206, but I replace them with a larger PLCC & it seems to work just fine... I know there is a descriptive DIY on the mode button removal, but no pics, I'm sad to say.. good luck, captian!!!.... PM me if you ned any assiastance... jh

 

Hells ya. so i need a set of plcc and smt 1206s. plc for gauge and smt for radio. now i gotta find a thing on doing the radio lights. go over it and then order!

 

Bump this....... still gopt a blue one ready to trade... or green or white.. jh

 

Hey Frozone,

I still have the stock radio that has already had the conversion done if you want it.
Those 1206's are so bloody small it is insane!

 

Man. Flying low... that looks great with your gauge face!!! well done!!!... jh ps did you do your P R N D S + - as well?? or do you have a stick??

 

Hey Jimmbomb,

Thank you sir! I really like it. I think the shifter plate will look awesome. I have the LED strip ready for the install, but my pieces haven't come back from Patterntek yet. They should ship by tomorrow.

Here's a pic of what's done so far though:



By the way, I like your idea for the mode button swap outs. That's pretty cool of you to do for $15.

 

can you post a picture of the LED strip you plan to use for your trans plate?? dammn I really like your dash!!!....

 

does anybody the name of our stock HU? if it has some number like the avic-d3 then i might be able to find other people who have messed around with it

 

I will check for you in about one hour.

 

Hey DJ,

The model number on the front is T1808. The model number from back of the deck is PT546-00080.

Good luck.

Charlie

 

Hey Jimmbomb,

I had originally gone down to Pep Boys and purchased their LED strip for install. Then I found this one at Oznium and returned the other one:



It is from Oznium. It has encapsulated PLCC's and should be easily twice as bright as the other one that I returned. I will post a new thread once I get all my parts back and get her put back together. The waiting is killing me.

 

hey Flyinglow... those are the exact same lights & got from Oznium too, but I got them in white. I am going to stick those up UNDER my mirrors pointing straight down & wire them to the dome light circuit. So when I hit the remote unlock at night & the doors unlock & the dome lights go on, these lights will shine down from under the mirrors & light up the ground where you step.. BUT I cant do that till the weather warms up.. It's been below 30 degrees here for 2 months now & I aint gonna mess with frozen plastic parts till I get 60 degreees.. You got a heated garage I could rent for 4 hours?? hahha hahahh ahha.... jh

 

well done...
