ok so heres what happened. I bought a led from a forum member that was selling them for the key whole. Well i installed it and everything was awsome. Well untill my my dumbass broke the led. now i asked the forum member what led and were did he get it but with no luck. Now im kinda out of luck unless someone can help me by telling me were to get another one or somthing. I just want my key hole light working again.

 

Do you know what size LED it is? You can order them online...

 

I'd like to know this too, mine just went out

 

i used a led from radioshack

 

i understand taht but dont you have to have some sort of resistor in line for the led???

 

Bump...

 

I know there is a thread on this but I spent all day searching about a week ago and came up with nothing.

Maybe someone else knows where to find it. I'll keep looking though.

 

here is 1 thread on the topic
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/just-replaced-my-door-lock-light-again-677186/
and if I remember it was existanzrx7 who started the buy thread.

 

I'm stoked to find this thread because I was wondering something. Maybe you guys can enlighten me. Is this completely stock?

Lemme rephrase that: Did the car stereo installer lose my orange lens when he installed my HU?

(thnx turboIIrotary for the pic)

 

I bumped for vivios question about the resistor. Does anyone know? I actually bought 2 extra LEDs for this but they had no resistors that I know of, maybe they did. My body shop installed them but they didn't test them out and they currently don't light. I thought maybe that was the reason why.

I looked through all the links and redirects in this post and wrote up this document correcting all the errors. My comments are in red. Hope someone besides me finds it helpful. I also did not know there was a light there.

 

I knew there was a light there, but I only bought the car like a week before I had a new head unit installed, so I wasn't positive about that or lens. I was kinda wondering because I THOUGHT the lighting around the ignition at night was different before the new Alpine was put in, but I wasn't 100% sure.

Now I might go down there and snap on those guys over that little orange lens. I guess those guys don't realize that FD parts aren't exactly common or easy to come by these days, even little trivial ones like that lens.

That lens IS from the factory, no?


EDIT: Sorry for the semi-threadjack, Supernaut.

 

hahah no need to apologize. Not my thread my man.

 

i didn't use a resistor for my l.e.d i just wired it up and it works.

 

I'll have to look into the LED lamps next time I have to replace mine. They SHOULD last forever....at least compared to the 'grain-of-wheat' incandescent bulbs...right?

 

a key>?

I flip down my glove box to fire my car...

There is LED's in there....

Aight real talk,,, (tisk/tisk) its prolly a radio shack or Fry's 5w light to replace your OEM configuration...

Honestly,,, i can do it with my eyes closed...

i am alregic to wheat....

Prolly run a "JDM LED" BMW style halo...

add's player status, plus you'l know what hole to go for... (with ur key)

Yes, it's an OEM part.

 

could someone tell me what is supposed to trigger the light? I fixed mine with an LED and it works if i connect a 12v source to it. but when i reconnected the harness in the door panel. It is not recieving a 12v source. I'm curious what is supposed to trigger the light?

 

Pulling the door handle up triggers the light so you can see the key hole and not scratch up your door handle looking for the hole!

 

does the door lock timer in the driver side kick panel supply the voltage or is it something else.
