MS3 Dashboard lighting *HELP*

[Vord]

It works on the MS3. You will need 3mm LEDs & 5 mm LEDs. I will have to go back and look, but i am busy. I will post back later.

[Jen1170]

can you change the digital screen color too?

 

[major error]

The only way I'd consider doing something like this is if I could choose the color on the fly...

I'm not electronically inclined enough to come up with a circuit that could drive them...

 

[wtf lol]

[Jen1170]

no i meant, can you change the color of the screen irl ;-) or just in photoshop?

the LEDS used in the main 4 dials are PLCC-2. Look em up on Ebay and there is 22 to be exact. there is another 14 or so in the headunit. I think the little ones are 805s LEDS.

buy extras!!
Credit goes to the guy who made the gauge cluster mod.

 

[UHATEIT]

did someone photoshop that color work or is that someone's real dashboard that has that many different color changing leds?

I have been wanting to make the abient lighting BRIGHTER (the blue ones above the clusted and iluminate the backside) I really want the circles around the lettering to light up like actual blue circles and see the word "mazdaspeed" brighter. Has anyone ever done any of that before???

 

[wtf lol]

well i photoshopped the green, yellow, orange, red, and purple one, but as far as the blue one goes, i think that one's legit. but if somebody does it, there definately needs to be some How To'ing goin down
