Lightbulb My custom climate control

Decided to redo my climate control to my liking.
Very pleased with the turn out
(inspired by cleanSC)

3 T5 blue neo wedge led which lights up the buttons

24 white leds lighting up the lcd

(prior to doing this projects i had never soldered before)

thought might be too bright but wasn't i like it




replaced old leds with blue ones

Freaking awesome.. I took the different route and shipped mine to Lextech. Maybe I should have waited for the DIY on this... NAhhhh... I am very happy with my results.

Wow!! That is a really nice looking climate control. I really like the even lighting across the face of the LCD screen. I did not see any splotches of light concentrating in any one spot like I have seen on some other retrofits.
