Very interesting idea! A how-to would be good - what type of LED did you use to replace the original?

Adri CiViC · 19th October 2006, 17:38

I used this kind of LED

finally I doesn't need the resistance

I'll make a HOW TO... soon, be patient hehe

does this involve soldering?
I think I'm scared!

Those LED's have to be the correct way as well...that's why they have a long and a short leg.

Adri CiViC · 19th October 2006, 21:47

yes. first remove the old one and solder the new one. but I will explain it in HOW TO...

yes the long leg means the positive and the short the negative

Adri...is the replacement LED that you have put in directional ? That is to say does it shine straight down to the gear lever as the original.
