I cant reply to my own post!!! Its keep asking me for password. Anyway, you got your hvac LED hooked up to your hvac wires as said in the write-ups correct? If so, when you turn your knob to dim your cluster lights, does your new hvac light dim also? If it does, one thing you could do is hook up your HVAC lights to a fuse under your dash and just hook up your AC button led to your hvac clip so that you can use the knob and turn down the brightness.

Im gonna try putting a small piece of tape directly on the tip of the led so that it doesnt shoot directly out. I will see how that looks.

well see then heres what you can do. Hook up your current HVAC LED to a fuse under your dash. Just take the wire, pull out the fuse, wrap the wire around the fuse and put it back in. You just have to find a fuse that turns on when you turn your car on. THEN take the AC led i give u and hook that LED up to your hvac wiring, so then you can dim that AC light a lil bit. Thats how i have mine.

But if u dont want to do that. I gotta know what you wanna do then. Do you want to wait till i get less powrful leds in. Or go with the Varad. Or what? You tell me what you wanna do. Thanks.

I know it kinda sounds like im jerkin u around now or something, but im not. I wasnt gonna even mention the brightness of the led, but then i thought i better. I had an old led i was using for my hvac before i get the varads, i wasnt nearly bright enuff for the hvac. So if i can find that one, i will hook that one up to your AC and see how it looks.

I rather wait until you get the less powerful LEDS. As easy as it may seem I just dont want to screw things up...so when do you think you can get some?
