LED cluster size question

[JdmCelicagod]

I found these 1206 led on ebay, will they work and fit on the cluster or radio? I did alot of research and it seems like the voltage and size of these led seem ok, I'm just concern about the mcd which i dunno wtf it means.

i think mcd is just how bright they are..i used 1206 on my auto window light..and its the same as cluster leds..im sure dooly will come in here and clear things up

ask Dooly, he can sell you those or even better ones, but those should fit. just that the ones on the link are really small to solder in and for me, they were hard for my tweezers to hold on still while i solder them in. hope you're extra careful when you solder them in......and patient for when you do the radio head unit. good luck :thumbup:.

i bought some similar ones off of ebay too..but the guy was in texas not hong kong so it didnt take as long..he was selling them 10 cents each and i got 50 of them plus like $2.50 for shipping. On the package..mine says LITEON Ultra Bright SMD LEDS..maybe you can search that and find that guy. Yea i had a real hard time holding these with tweezers..so i ended up just letting it sit on the circuit board and solder it from there. Looks real nice..not too bright, but brighter than the stock green window control light

oh and i think these are really close to what dooly has..yea just search LITEON blue smd led..and it brings that guy right up..if he dont have the amount you want on the auction..just tell him how many you want...and he will sell off of ebay. Thats what i did and turned out real well, he keeps up with you when he ships and everything.

the white led i saw on ebay has 1200-1500 mcd, does this mean that it will be like 4 times brighter than the stock led?

[bman365]

not sure how bright stock is..i dont really know anything about leds

[LEDmod]

People on ebay usually over rates the mcd....
If that LED actually produces that much mcd, it will heat up like crazy...

Those LED would be used on the stock radio and window control
