Hey guys,

I'd like to change the bulbs in the doors when you open them to something heaps brighter. Has anyone put lcds in or similar?
I vaguely remember someone post a pic of a set of 4 lcds in a square... Any ideas?

I've done heaps of them.
You have to be a bit careful with interior lights and door lights as they all get power through the infamous 'baby poo' box (grey box for TTs). There is a current sensing resistor that will burn out if you draw too much current. This is not normally a problem with LEDs but can be a worry if the 'blue" bulbs are used.
For door light, 3 LEDs of your choice in colour (5mm or 10 mm types) and about a 47 ohm resistor, all in series, works well.

Mark, I think I have burnt out that current sensing resistor, would you know where to get a replacement?

It is a 0.82 ohm 2 watt resistor. I use 1 ohm 3 or 5 watt replacement. Dick Smith, Jaycar etc.

I went a step further. green neons are on a switch so they either turn on when door is opened or when ever i like with a switch. and white LED "parking light" globes do the job for the stock lights.
