Instrument Panel LED's?
I have searched far and wide and I can't find the exact LED type used in the instrument panel. I took my dash apart today and the LED's used are very small They area a SMD PLCC2 I believe but the size eludes me. I am looking to replace them all with blue, not Ice blue but blue blue like the other LED accent lights. Does anyone know the type of light or size exactly?
The closest I could find are these. But these are square the ones in the dash that I saw were rectangular with a green circle in the middle. Or perhaps it's one of these four sizes 1206, 0805, 0603 and 0402 SMD's. I'm thinking 0805 or 0603? Does anyone know? Have a wiring diagram that would tell us what size?

Thanks for the reply SNV!
Yeah they are really small. I am going to attempt it on my FJ that uses PLCC2 which are a little bigger. These are so small and the electronics on the boards are so tight in the Camaro it could be risky trying to do it. I just want the foot well lighting and the dome LED's all to match with the dash but the "ICE BLUE" LED's are non existent, why did GM use that color rather than true blue beats me, plus the color they used can't be found anywhere else in nature LOL. IT shouldn't be this difficult to find a solution haa. Thanks again for the reply, I hope someone else knows the answer or knows where I can get "ICE BLUE" in bulk.

I haven't tried the 507nm to see if they would match. I have a 470nm golden dragon plus LED that is a sweet color, but not quite ice blue. So maybe we are looking at 500nm. |

skuttduck I'm not following the 505nm, when I google it I get
http://www.ledtronics.com/products/P...x?WP=C240K1853 which is the LED size within a 5mm format? this page shows the SMD sizes available. http://led.linear1.org/surface-mount-leds/ Some ICE BLUE or BLUE/GREEN PLCC2 would be great to replace the AAC SMD's on their dome. But then the blue in my Radar wont match, that's why I'd prefer to change the LED lights but DANG they are tiny.

Oh I know what you mean now I had read a lot more about it later and understand the regular blue like what I have is 470. Good to know 505 is too green so that means it's between 470 and 505.
Thanks for the input! this helps!

I also wanted to add lighting to match with the ice blue.You may want to check out my post at Cup Holder LED lighting . I also lit the foot wells and the door pockets and the door handles as well as the inside of the trunk. I will try to get some good pictures and post them. hear is one for now.

Yeah I have the AAC LED conversion for the Dome and trunk, I also placed some LEDs from OZNIUM.COM in my foot wells, I am planning on doing my cup holders door pockets and a few other areas, but before I went all out I wanted to figure our how to change the dash LED's or find ICE BLUE to accent the other areas... rather than have two different colors.
Your interior looks good BTW!

Well let me tell you which 505NM is not the right one.. Optek Standard LED OVLGC0C6B9 There is a chance maybe another 505NM is correct. Also could we do a white with a color lens to achieve it? |

What you may not understand is I made the blue LED's match the stock lights by covering over them with a transparent yellow tape this makes them match the stock Ice Blue lights perfect. If you look at the pictures you will notice that all the lights are the same color blue. In person all the lights look Ice Blue.
This is just one way I found to be easy and verry easy on the pocket!! I dont know much about the lights that you are using and if you can cover them with the tape I used? But if you go with changing the stock LED's you must like a challeng. I like that in a person by the wayAlso how would you change the light pipe on the doors?If you think I can be any help let me know and good luck and enjoy the ride |
