Backlight, h1. — Toyota Starlet, 1.3 liter, 1999
I decided to highlight the interior of the car. Driving at night is bad, you have to look for buttons, handles by touch. I started with the power window on the driver's door.
This is what the native button looked like.
With a hand drill, I drilled a recess into the hole, and inserted a piece of glass of the appropriate shape from 3mm plexiglass there. The glass was processed with the same hand drill.
This is what it looks like assembled
I soldered the native green LED to a brighter one (only the driver's power window button was lit)
I made holes for the LEDs under the buttons next to their attachment points.
I took the power by soldering into the native backlight circuit
He brought the wires to the side through the sawn grooves and the hole, because. all wiring inside the case is laid
So that you can disconnect everything and calmly disassemble, soldered such a connector
Wiring inside the case. Resistors on LEDs - 750 ohms
LEDs in place. To make them shine more diffusely, I sharpened a lens for them.
Well, I put everything in place
How bright all this is, we will find out at night. The photo looks brighter than it really is.
PS Later there will be a photo of the passenger door as soon as I buy the button that the dog ate :)
