check those out
they are suppposed to be SUPER bright
The only thing that would have to be done would be fitting them somewhere in the HVAC
but im sure it could be done
any ideas???

i bet they are the same leds i have been telling people to use and have used already.. but hey give it a try and see what happens.. oh and like i said a few times in other posts.. its not entirely the brightness that allows the hvac to light up properly. if you want a bright hvac.. might i suggest using a green led that is really bright.. it shines and transfers much better than the blue.

its not really thats its bright
its that its 3 different LEDS angled in what would looks like could hit every part of the HVAC... where as one of these could be easily made I might try and get one of these and mount it and see how it goes

just a thought

that will NEVER fit in the HVAC, you have a hole less than 1/4 diameter to fit a led in... that "thing" is HUGE, don't waste your money on it. I bought some blue LEDS at the electronics shop near me and they light up the HVAC perfectly. The LEDs were 8 bux a piece, but well worth it when i was done.

very obvious that it would not fit in the same place that the original LED came from
im talking about mounting it in a new spot
as soon as i get a chance i will get pictures and try and show
but at the moment my monitor is fried
so im just on a laptop

Aiight, it wouldn't work, based on the dimensions they give you on that page it wouldn't fit anywhere on the back of the HVAC. You'd be better off with 3 seperate LEDs and drilling 2 extra small holes somewhere on the back of the HVAC, it would be possible to accomodate 2 little holes than that big box. Trust me, I've been there, done that.

k
was just a suggestion
possibly take these leds out of the thing thats holding them?
or are there others out there that are just as bright

the leds i have menchened should do the trick, but hey if you want to try it, go for it.. it never hurts to try.. if i hadnt decided to just go at it like i did all this hype about the leds may have not come about.. :-)

but dont credit me even for the idea.. i got the idea from someelse on the board and took it where i could.
