    FS: deluxe obc - $20 shipped

    I just soldered in new lights for the back lighting last week, so it's already to go, just plug it in. Everything works, lights up, etc.

    why'd you need to solder the lights in?

      because the new light bar is fairly expensive and he probably got a correct voltage bulb from radioshack and soldered them in.

        I see. I have a crap load of those light bars so that didn't cross my mind. I thought he was talking about the screw in lights.

          I was at the junkyard scavenging parts a week or so ago and grabbed it up along with a few other things. I then came home and plugged it into my car to check out its operation. The keypad lit up, but not the backlighting. I knew exactly what to do, since I had just done this the week before for my own obc. Went to radio shack and picked up the 6 volt bulbs, which are very close to the right specs. It looks great during the day and at night, enough so to meet my rather anal attention to detail.
