my friend and i tried to install led lights on his climate control. we switched the stock led orange lights to white leds. but the white led won't light up when he turn the lights on, is it because the led doesnt dim (when the lights are on, the stock led lights dims)?

also we have trouble installing the 5mm leds to switch the light bulbs with sockets. i know it'll be easier to use a 3mm led but we dont know where to get the 3mm ones. also we dont know where the positives and negatives are to replace the socket ones. can some one tell me how to install with the 5mm?? or where can i get 3mm leds??

you have to hook up 220 ohm resistors to each led......
they are not lighting up because ur  blowing them out. get new led's and the resistors hook up the resistors to the positve on the led's
you can get them at radio shack.

later man

thanx

ok, so i have to hook up the resistors to the leds to replace the stock leds also?
(the led we hook up to replace the stock leds works, just not when we turn on the headlights because the led does not seems to dim)

and also the holes for the stock bulbs (ones with green covers) does not indicate where the positives and negatives are, does it matter where i solder the leds or do i have to test it out to find the positives and negatives??
