Re: AC panel backlight to LED conversion
Got the temp panel apart pretty easy. When you solder the wires back in how careful a job putting it back together do you have to do? Do you have to use the existing extensions(?) to get the lights forward? I counted 4 small lights and 4 large lights, correct?

ok i took it apart and looked at it. do you need to heat the solder joints on the board to pull out the bulbs? then do u solder it back in. does radio shack carry 12 volt leds? thanks for the help i want to get this done.

Re: AC panel backlight to LED conversion
Yeah I think Radio shack carries those LEDs if not they can tell you where you can get some and yes you have to De-Solder the old lights out and resolder the new ones in using the mounts in the Circuit board. Or you can just heat the point where the light goes into the board and pull gently on each lead slowly working it out. De-soldering is the best solution though.

if you get leds that need a resistor where do u put the resistor at. since u solder striaght to the board i see nowhere to put it.

Re: AC panel backlight to LED conversion
ha ha there in lies the trick. You have to make one side of Your LED Shorter. Solder the resistor to the LED and then to the board and the other lead of the led to the board. Make sense? I was trying to figure that one out too but, i made it works and they are still glowing 8 months later...

Radioshack and I think behind the A/C, Recirc I'd use 5mm ones and in behind the main area (where the knobs are) I'd use the 10 mm ones. Hope that helps. Cheers Evan

Re: Re: AC panel backlight to LED conversion
Has anyone tried to take apart the dual zone electronic climate control. Is it the same?
