    Hello! I would like to change the diodes in the clocks and the Climatronic to white, searching the internet, I read that you need to take plcc2 diodes and found such; https://mselektronik.pl/optoelektronika/diody-led/diody-led-smd/diody-led-smd-plcc but now some questions appear:

    1. Will I be able to desolder and solder a normal soldering station?
    2. Do I have to give any resistors etc. or just put these in?
    3. Did I choose good diodes or take any other diodes?

    Greetings!

    The answer to the first question is for yourself, unless you tell me whether I cook, for example, cucumber soup myself. I solder such diodes in such a panel with an ordinary transformer.
    2. These diodes are too strong, you will need resistors.
    3. Generally, in the Climatronic sit angled and with less brightness but goes to insert them. However, the trouble will be with the meter, precisely because of their power. It's hard to find a place for a resistor. VW Passat B5 FL: Guide to Changing Clock & Climatronic Backlight to White with PLCC2 Diodes
    It turned out that way

    This is exactly what I mean. And then you can send a link to the diodes you used? and what's with the angular ones, is it the angle of light?

    It is about mounting the diode, but it can be easily inserted.

    So I have to look for diodes with less lumens? How to solve this problem?

    If you find it, let me know and I haven't found it. The clarity is 7-9 mcd. Don't mistake the units!

    and you think that they could not be "screwed" on the regulator next to the steering wheel?

    Look at Maritex's offer, there you should see, among others angle diodes. In my opinion, it's best to change the LEDs to a different color, but the same type. The value of resistors used in series with the LEDs may change.

    It can be done, but the rest of the backlight is still in the car. Also, the twisted ones will hit the eyes if you give too strong.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around changing the backlight of the VW Passat B5 FL's clock and Climatronic system to white using PLCC2 diodes. Users inquire about the feasibility of using a standard soldering station for desoldering and soldering, the necessity of resistors, and the suitability of the chosen diodes. Responses indicate that while standard soldering tools can be used, resistors are required due to the high brightness of the diodes. Users are advised to consider diodes with lower lumens and to explore options from Maritex for angled diodes. The importance of matching the type and brightness of the LEDs to avoid glare is emphasized.
