Hey Jovie, there are a few ways you can go about doing the LED mod. When I bought the Rising from S2G member, pabaker, the SRC-2015 didn't have any working dial lights and I couldn't find any bulbs compatible with the originals.
So, I set out to do an LED "upgrade."
The first one I did, I only used single LEDs on each end of the dial, but I upgraded to two LEDs on each side after I saw the difference it made.
When I mounted my LEDs, I used the basic PC board that you can get at Radio Shack and trimmed down pieces to fit. I didn't want to modify any other part of the Rising. It was basically a quick and dirty job just to see what it would look like. Well, it worked out the first time, so I just left it at Q&D.
The other way to mount the LEDs is to drill holes in the sides of the two black dial "clamps" that screw down. I believe that is how Kittmaster did his and maybe hemiguy2006.
Regardless of your mounting method, you want to try and line up the tips of the LEDs with the white bars on the dial scale.
Here is the circuit diagram for the mod. It has been a while since I've been inside the Rising, but I think this is it.
Here's a shot of the quick and dirty PC board. You can see how it has been trimmed to fit. The curved area is for the screw post.
You can see how the LEDs line up with the white "bars". Because of PC board constraints, I wasn't able to get them perfectly aligned.
Here's a pic of the completed and installed LED boards.
I used the white LEDs in this mod, but others have used blue LEDs. Any color can be used as long as you account for differences in voltage.
Good luck with the mod!!
