Where to buy Electro-luminescent Plate

Post by Kustom »

Okay, so I decided to re-wire in my kick panels and put them on the right sides (don't ask) .. anyway, my passenger side hasn't been working for a while...

LONGGGGGGGG, story short.. the actual part that illuminates is fucked. So... where can i grab some? Or .. is it not possible?

I'm sorry, I didn't know the technical name of what you were after.

I am now better informed on what illuminating paper-like plastic stuff is!

:lol:

Edit: to be slightly more helpful to your cause of a better edumacation, the correct item you are looking for is called Electro-luminescent Plate
However, that I would not know where to purchase, and for a specific size etc...

Scratch the copper up a bit, put a bit of flux on it (http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=NS3036) and then solder. Bob's your aunty.
