CleanSierra Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 love LEDS!!! I just did my dash cluster with a badass blue and I think I've got the bug to switch it all out. *Edit- I needed to replace regular bulbs anyway, and LEDs were a great upgrade to add a little something extra to the interior. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El1T3Bass Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 thanks for the tutorial, but quick question, how do you know what watt LED to get or what ohm resistor I should get? I have a 1993 firebird if that helps at all, what would happen if I bought the wrong ohm resistor? Use the websites I provided in the video link to calculate it all out. It's usually a 470 or 560 ohm resistor iirc wow now this just shows that smd isnt just any forum. We are a brother hood. here let me put it in retard-onix for u aareehhhh duuuurrrrr ehhh got it now? Sweet baby jesus the amount of quoting the quote above the quote in a quote is epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiAnT4LYFE Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 For an LED strip in my trunk, what do you recommend I tap into for the power? Can I use the +/- going to my trunk light? I only want them on when the trunks open...obviously, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman1575 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Can I use the +/- going to my trunk light? I only want them on when the trunks open...obviously, lol. There you go. Lol. But in seriousness, some LED's come with a plugin that fits the bulb holder for your trunk light. That's what I did in my GP, just replaced the bulb with a 6-LED grid-thingy...lol POTATO!

El1T3Bass Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 You can do a strip or replace the bulbs. Stock wire should be fine. IMO they really don't draw that much more than stock... wow now this just shows that smd isnt just any forum.
