window control led change
window control led change
so i went down to the car with a couple of screw drivers and a volt meter and took a look. we the first thing was to pop out the window unit and remove to back plate. took a volt meter and checked what the + and - were. after this i went home and warmed up the soildering iron . went to find the led units i have brought for this and no were to be found. so looking a bit harder at the unit i found out that you dont need these tiny little leds but can use t5 leds in there place. there is a bit of space to fit them in and after removing the orange ones i had a go at putting them in. found out that i had to trip the membrain plastic so the lamps could sit it the right place. all good. popped it back in the car and well it was good. will do a little write up and photo's soon.
also did the cig lighter and ashtray bulbs
