Need tester for plug and play dash LEDs

I have completed a complete set of LED white dash replacements for the center console area. you will get four bulbs already mounted in sockets with resistors. You must have knowledge of how to remove the dash pieces and replace the bulbs with these leds, as well as remove the color films from behind the dash lights. I will also need pics. You may keep the bulbs for $10 if the test is successful. Regular non-tester price will be $25 shipped. Here is how they install. please take note of the + and - polarity and the direction of the resistor. the resistor lead must touch the positive terminal.

its good that you sell them pre-assembled, so much easier than trying. but thats how i learned to soder, lol.

imo, selling a bunch of leds and resistors and then asking the customer to assemble them is not what i have in mind. If you're paying for something, you shouldn't have to do the work.

i have a tester already. someone sent me a pm before your post...

yeah i got them from them installed them hours later after a few tries i got it. they do sell the window switch and mirror lights(playing with circuit bards). But i think 25 for them assembled is a really good price. well worth it. good idea gearbox.

yeah there are instructions for those on the site too. bad part is if u slip u fry the unit. i had problems more with the ac set up cause it took me 3 shots for it to light. but i like the mod. looks nicer on the interior.

i've done a few for people where they sent in the pieces and I wired in separate leds. imo that is the best bet because I put 2 leds and point them forward instead of sideways. makes it much brighter and more even. but we'll see if this works. I got a request for pink so i'll prolly do up the test pieces eventually.

i second that. having them preassembled is also a plus. I got the parts from led automotive and tried soldering them. my low pateince level and sausage fingers didnt work out too well

Just thought I would throw this out there:

thats cool but you should look into getting smaller resistors (surface mount resistors work well). in bulk they should be cheaper and so much easier to fit.
