5mm would be over kill and distract you from th eroad and might blind you also i di\ont think you would see the numbers on the lcds lol

u can use 5mm LEDs i have and they dont do either of wat u said y would they b any different from 3mm LEDs? its only the size thats different and the veiwing angle.

nice thread, I did my setup similar to your new setup, surface mount is the way to go, no extra wires hanging about and allot cleaner.

Damn this thread is old as, good to see a good thread revived with relevant information.

Keep it open I say as its a good topic.

Hozy - I'm very interested in getting this done in my calais, would you be up for helping me out with the whole interior light conversion? (vs calais) so dash facias, lcds, climate control, switches, power windows, everything. How does a slab and Ill pay for parts sound?
