Started my LED conversion

I could only do the shift indicator lights for now, Best Buy ran out of the LED's. I used Red Line, it was a 3 pack for $6.99 i believe. I broke one of the resistors so I used only 2 but it is plenty bright. To remove the paint on the plate, i used throttle body cleaner on a rag and lined the inside with foil. drilled 2 holes, front and back and aimed the LED's at each other. Maby if someone was having ploblems on brightness, this will help.

i picked the LED's up at Best Buy and Auto Zone might have them too up your way but a little more money, $10.00 for a 3 pack. the resistors are already installed on both sets. Two lights was plenty for the shifter, just need to clean the back of the plate so the P R N D D3 2 is clear, three LED's would have been too bright.

for thr shift light i just cut off the factory light and wired them up. if you connect them backwards they won't work. as for the climate controls, i have no idea how im going to wire them up, i might just run a separate switch.
