So I finally purchased a new radio for my ITR. I wanted an Amber color deck, but finally realized I wasn't going to be able to do that with any of my choices.

I thought, well that's fine, I will just replace the LEDs to get the desired color. No big deal, except these LEDs on this radio are Micro.

Has anyone replace the super tiny square-ish/retangular-ish surface mount LEDs on the face of a deck?

Has anyone used filtering film to get the desired effect? I believe this would be waaaaaaay easier to do than to remove the microLEDs.

If anyone has any insight to my dilemma, please respond. I would really like to tackle this little job. THANKS!

p.s. I can have pictures later this evening if anyone wants more to see.

And 23 lookers and no reponses?

 

people who know how to mess with phones such as nokias will know. ive seen my friend use 2 soldering guns to put the led on the phone. not much help but yeah

 

That's a good idea about people that modify cell phones! I haven't even thought of that.

 

i took apart the stock head unit from my 96 civic and colored the leds with a red sharpie and it glowed amber... that might help u.. its been about 1 year and its just starting to fade ever so slightly
