2SSRS:

I checked the link you posted on how to remove the door panels. Doesn't look THAT hard, but still challenging. I occasionally have difficulty following directions. How long/how many hours would I be looking at for this job?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 11-12-2010, 06:00 PM

First time 30-40 min it not hard.

HopeRidesAlone · 01-16-2011, 07:51 PM

what is the source voltage to the ABL?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-16-2011, 07:55 PM

What do you mean, From the car it 12vdc

HopeRidesAlone · 01-17-2011, 04:05 AM

ok thats what i thought i just wanted to double check thanks.
one more question would a LED with a higher output make the light go across the whole door instead of falling short like the stock does.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-17-2011, 08:16 AM

On the door panel the part that dos not have light is painted and the light dos not shine threw, You need to pull the door panel off and sand the trim, and you can add a second LED at the opposite side for more light.

HopeRidesAlone · 01-17-2011, 05:49 PM

Thanks for all your help 2SSRS sorry to have to ask another Q sorry im trying to learn alittle bit about led work. Ive been looking online for some green leds and ive found alot of different outputs i was wondering what would be close to what the factory led brightness is.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 01-17-2011, 06:13 PM

Hi form my work i say its in the range of (mcd) 3500-5500 VIEWING ANGLE of 35-60, I made some lights with green LED's and they came out nice.

HopeRidesAlone · 01-17-2011, 07:21 PM

I'd like to see PIC's of "custom" colors installed. I'm interested in seeing white in the silver trim piece which is what I want to do.

I really wanna know how to change my blue to yellow.

Alright, tons of research later, I figured it out. So Cheap and easy, gotta do it tonight or tomorrow for sure. I will track my progress. I don't know of anyone else with yellow ABL!

A9AL8R · 03-23-2011, 09:24 PM

does anybody know the size of the resistor for the doors?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 03-23-2011, 09:37 PM

1/4 watt but that is not the ohms, that is by the LED you use.
