Red LED Conversions!!

[Mustang30212]

Does anyone else see any 'greenish' tint in the white? I sent these same pics to my customer and he thinks he's seeing some green. NOT bashing on him in any way...just getting other opinions. I don't see any green. The red and blue on the temp knob look a little pale in the photo...but that's about it due to taking the pics at night. He wants a crisp clean white...I thought they look pretty good. If they're not right I'll re-do them.

I thought I would post up pics of a set I'm working on for another customer. I bought some white LED's from a new supplier that are closer to the original OEM MCD level. My other white's were a little too bright IMO.

What do you guys think?

A little bit in the second photo only, but I think that is an artifact of the photo and low light.

Are you talking about the indicator in the middle of the know?

Info and setup button,

I think that's from the low light picture.

I'm tempted when I finally get out of this shit hole country to have you finish my swap lmao.

I think it's just the low light.

I just ordered a new set of LED's with a higher MCD rating and will try them. I know the original ones I used when I first started are to bright...like a runway..>LOL.

I had to order a Dremel and router table. This stuff was too thin to work on a regular sized router table. Got it in this evening and plan to work on these Thursday.

I'll post pics of the progress.

Alrighty....got my dremel and router table mounted and did a couple test lenses. I think they'll look better after a little bit of fine sanding on the edges. My buddie likes the frosted edges left by the router.

I'm going to do a convert a Shaker to red and a Shaker to blue and light it up for pics so we get a better idea of what they'll look like. I did the lenses after work tonight, but don't want to get into doing an LED conversion on a Shaker this late. Tired eyes makes for soldering mistakes.
