it gets trickier with the actual climate control aswell as requires more coverage.

Yeah, I don't know how to make more spread kindasad.gif

Maybe the three prong LEDs will be more directional

Renta/Rusty, what luminous flux are your LED bulbs? And are you happy with the how bright it is under the specific knob they are under(direct, not dispersed light)?
I am looking at different ones and they start from 8 and go to 50lm, wondering which will suffice.

Edit : also, which T5 bulb type did you choose, single LED, single SMD LED, multiple SMD, etc?

For the AC unit I used the single SMD LED type, which is what Spree sent me...


In my guage I originally I used the Dome type single LED bulb... But they quickly burnt out and started flickering... I have no idea on their luminous flux though...

I went back to incandescent bulbs for the majority of gauge since they failed, but in my turn indicator lights I have 3LED split type bulbs which are pink, the pink and green together make a blue for the turn signals.

Only way to get it bright and even is to solder individual leds under each button like I and others have done in the past. It's also the only way to change the indicator colors.

I don't know if this was a reply on my question, but sorry for not being clear. My question was towards the three T5 bulbs that don't need soldering, under the temperature and fan speed knobs/rotating switches.

Mine are all single SMD LED, I'll post a photo soon.

Try the split type one:
Split T5 LED

Not sure how they will be, but they should have a lot more spread than a single LED

I'm using the Spree kit aswell, I'm happy with the brightness. However it is tricky to get them lined up to get the coverage, and also limited by space and movement.

I did them the same way myself. And I made an array of red and blue for under the temp knob so that the color shifts when I turn the knob.

I wouldn't be able to do it, I am terrible at electrical work kindasad.gif
