What are the window switches out of? What did you have to modify to get them in?

The switches are from a 98 Grand Prix. The one touch module is from a 97 Bonneville. I had to trim the opening for the switches a bit with a file. Then I used 60 second epoxy on the back side to hold them in. I finished off the trim plate with a coat of DupliColor Trim Paint. I also glued the center console rubber back together and painted the ashtray and cigarette lighter plate.

Ive been tinkering again. Some sleepy HIDs will be on the stove for this winter.
The grey box is a variable power supply. I'm running 13.5v to a 270 ohm resister which drops it down to 6.6v.
Each diode can handle 3.3v max and are wired in series.





I used this as a reference.

Are red angel eyes illegal? I want to put some in at least for the shows.

Cool project I've always wanted to do...

FYI, 3.3V is not the max voltage for the LED. It is the forward voltage drop across the LED. The thing to be concerned about is current. Add the two Vfwd's for the LEDs and subtract from the source voltage. This difference is the voltage across the resistor. Divide this by the resistor value to get the current. Also watch the power across the resistor, which is the current squared times the voltage across it.

WOW

Great read and pics!

I am just starting my swap....having somebody do it for me...at least the major stuff.

Im pumped

I may have a few questions a bit later

thanks

I used Danyels 90MM buckets with my 60MM projectors. I had to modify them.

I installed a boost gauge in the pillar. Nothing fancy. Next i need an AFR gauge so I can drop the pulley size more.
It's running 8-9 PSI boost.
