i just thought of something... the info center would still be green...[&:][&:]

Using flux would help remove the solder easier with less chance of burning the board. Just make sure it IS NOT water soluble. After removing the component, use some alcohol or flux remover and swab away the flux with a Q-tip. Then put the new LED on.

Wow I never thought about that might have to put in on blank when turn lights on

Allstar

i would so do this if.. i had ABSOLUTELY nothin to do for like a week.. but i would prolly make all the lights like a bright clean white, would look pretty sweet IMO but a lil too much work for me.. if i could buy something like this i prolly would

Uh that's only going to change the LEDs on the headunit? There's a LOT more LEDs in the interior of our cars.

Joolander

I thought you already did....[&:][&:]??

anyway, i brought it back to mention i added it to the "how-to threads" sticky, since its useful, and a good amount of people were looking for it

Joolander your so correct about that, I thought the same thing too. But here is some great news...

I started working on mines last night, and I pulled out one side of the steering wheel to get more info about the LED's to buy.I aquired some usefull information. I found out that almost all of the electronic components in the mustang is done by a company called Alps. Here is the website http://www.alps.com

Well im ghonna call them tommorow, so i can get some better information on there LED's and to ask if they sell the info center in Blue. In the write up, take a closerlook at the color of his blue LED's in the finish photo. Its not matching correctly, the blue look's lighter than the AC ****. The information I need fromAlps is the brightness level of there LED's in the Mustang, which is known as MCD's. I think the guy who did the write up said he used 600 MCD's and that if he did it again he would have used 200 - 300 MCD's instead. I figure the 600 MCD's is to bright. I did measure the size of the LED thatsI pulled out. My measurments was closer too 3.5 x 2.8MM. Here is the link to the exact LED. And the MCD Level 250 which is between what he said he should have used.

The LED's I found on ebay isway to bright. And most of the sellers are in Japan...Who trust sending there money to Japan? LOL


He also made another mistake by calling the LED (PLCC-2 SMT LED total =50) What he ment in the red area was SMD not SMT.....

Hope this help's.....I'll keep you guys posted about the Blue Information Center. The Info center is more of a job foran Advance Electronic Tech. For the rookies, you might be able to take it to a TV Repair shop, for installing.....Ill find out the Price tommorow
