I love LEDs. Car looks good. I have boxes of them from trying all sorts of different combinations. ---

Looks worlds better with the LEDs :tup: Are you doing anything with the Interior Lights (Dash, Courtesy, Dome, Map, Glovebox if it has one, etc.)? EDIT: I had “The LP light looks TOO blue IMHO…‘blah-blah-blah’ should get natural white ‘yadda-yadda’…” Posted. Realized that it probably is not that bad judging by the K value. Deleted section. Came back and saw Newman commented to my original post most likely before I posted. Decide to close gap for all those wondering if he is Nuts for blurting out “The LP really isn’t that blue… it’s just the picture…” Let me clarify that he is not. Carry on. ---

There is an interior lamp in there, only one, but i guess it screws with the alarm if you change it to LED for some reason… I could probably install a resistor in series to allow it to be the same total resistance… maybe i will… ---

Fixed Post 203 where I had mentioned about the blue lights then re-canted. > [@newman](#): > > There is an interior lamp in there, only one, but i guess it screws with the alarm if you change it to LED for some reason… I could probably install a resistor in series to allow it to be the same total resistance… maybe i will… Wow, that’s a new one on me. I did not think the line potential/resitance would be monitored. I would think you could disconnect the bulb and it would still work. Assuming you have a 1/2 Watt bulb in there now you need to use a power resistor to dissapate that energy. Granted it is relatively small power but the LEDs are probably powered around .035A so that is considerably larger…I don’t know. If it ain’t simple. Fuck it. If you need help figuring it out shoot me a PM. ---
