LED converted heater controls

[JohnnyC]

The drivers window control sections (for both windows and the window lock)- is this one single led or several??

Early revisions (revs 1 & 2 IIRC) had 3 LEDs.
Later revisions (rev3+ IIRC) had only 1 LED for the 'auto' switch.

whats your thoughts on this then...

I then took 2 of the same bulbs and removed the blastic holder at the bottom, then took heater control apart and fit these inside, soldered the legs of the bulb directly to the heater circuit board, and also had to modify the light reflector to get the bulb to fit but you can see the light spread in the pic, I have no hot or dark spots and everything lights up nicely..

This looks nice and more straightforward from the led strips I was planning to give a go at. So you removed the 3 (or 4) bulb plastic holders on the heater board (that keep the original bulbs) and soldered these bulbs where the respctive holes are on the heater board? How did you modify the reflector?

^ How come you have 2 Auto switches?

No SW20 came with passenger side Auto - have you retro-fitted it???

[oteck]

he probably just swap out the switch cover from another

this one of two im building from my ebil lab


While my current looks like this it maybe a while before i do the full auto's

i want to do the same with my clocks-but want them blue do you rekon these will be ok?

Which LED's do i need for my sidelights..

[hygt2]

Quick question, if you change the cluster and heater control bulbs to LEDs, would the light dimmer still works to dim the interior or the LEDs are set only at its brightest setting?

If it has the correct resistor on it it would still dim..

I have fitted a onetouch window module to the car and windows now open and close with one touch.. as for the window switches .. I modified it and fit a auto switch from another cars window control, it wasn't just a case of simply dropping the switch in after opening the unit, I had to grind down the shaft of the switch and mod it to make it fit and work , as the switch with the auto writing has a longer stub/shaft than the blank/passenger side one..

Psyco - fancy eraning yourself some money as im desperate to have an auto up/down for the passenger side! thanks

It will work as normal on your Clocks

I would love to mate.. and i would be glad to help,.. only problem is one touch windows on passenger side aint an easy task.. unless you have a one touch window module..
switches is another game all together...

if you want the window module fitted I can indeed do it for you.. drop me a pm and we can sort out a price and place.. thanx

You used resistors with these right?

the led bulbs I used were 12v 501 type so no resisters needed..

Is there any way you could do a write up? I too would love this feature......

I would gladly do a write up mate, but like I said before.. one touch on passenger side needs a module, either a toyota one which is a pain in the balls to fit and make work, or a aftermarket one, aftermarket modules are available, and wiring in takes a couple of hourse,,
I am currently building my 2nd mr2, when i get to the windows I will do a write up for u,,

Another thread im dragging from the depths but i changed the bulbs in the heater panel on my gt four and im sure those brown bulb holders were the same as those.....

You dont have to dick around with resistors, im sure i used t4 bulbs like these and they fit straight in the existing holes
