Color shift on GT-R Start Button













The "ACC" and "ON" lights are actually blue just brighter than the "ENGINE" light but it looks white in the pics.

Oh yeah, the "ENGINE" word lights up...

Awesome detail. So this can also be done with our OEM start button? How long did this project take?

It took a couple days to find the right LED's and about 20 min to do the install. You just have to have a small tipped soldering iron, some surface mount LED's and surface mount resistors. GT-R button comes with orange LED's but I think the blue looks way better. And yes it can be done with the OEM button.

Would you be willing to put your mad skills to work to mod an OEM one for me? For a reasonable fee of course...

Sure, Paypal me $25, shipping included, as a gift and I will A custom one. Then when you install it send me yours, so if I need to do this again I can. If you're game, PM me the colors you want and where.

Cool thanks! Actually I have an idea that might make it even a bit simpler. I'll PM you a bit later with info.

Dang, I just got my GT-R button in and was thinking of doing something like this with the Nissan LED board. I wanted to make Lock red, Acc left amber, and ON green.
