Re: [DML] LED's for the center console - I GOT THEM!

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The center console uses indirect lighting, the light bulbs fits into little 
chambers and is
dispersed throughout the plastic evenly.
These LED's I have found are made to emit the light from the sides, this 
effect is achieved
by drilling a cone shaped center into the lens of the LED and makes the 
light that
would normally be forward directional diverted 360 degrees in a circle 
around the lens
with some light still going straight out.
This light pours into the cavities of the plastic console piece and gives 
even illumination.
The effect looks pretty much like normal, except the color is much more blue 
because
that was the intended color scheme of the plastic, however when you use a 
dimly lit
incandescent bulb it appears as yellow, mixing with the blue you get green, 
or aqua.

The plastic is painted black, so there is no way to get any "spots".
The entire purpose of this conversion is to eliminate the heat that the 
other bulbs create,
and to use less power consumption from the battery when the car is on 
display.
I have a kit now that will replace almost every single one of your bulbs, 
except the headlights,
with LED bulbs. You could have your doors open and running lights on for 
display
without the need for a battery charger, and leave it like that all day.

LED's are the future of lighting.
