I recently started mod'in my 2014 Charger. I have read a lot of posts in the how to section about this mod. I tried it yesterday and it did not work. The gen 7 Charger's have a small circuit board with an LED that produces the blue light in the cup holder ring. I soldered a LED to the wiring harness and put it all back together with no light. If anyone has an idea or answer to help fix this issue I would appreciate it.

***Update*** I found a LED that has wires instead of metal leads. I was able to get the wired LED hooked up and working, but I could not get it to light up the ring in the cup holder. Maybe the LED did not have a wide angle? Any suggestions?

I do not know this personally but you might want to check the Interior & Exterior Electrical section. Also a quick search before hand might save you some time. I do recall seeing a long time ago of someone changing the lighting of their cluster and the shift lighting. If I recall correctly there was a lot of soldering involved. A very unique mod if you can pull it off as well.

Yea, I've searched the lighting forum for help, but couldn't find anything for 2011+. I have tried to solder LEDs and cannot get it to work for some reason. I may have to out source this mod. As much add I hate to do it, I might have to do it.

Again I have come back to this mod and no dice! I tried a couple different wide angle led's with no luck. Any info into what type of led or how it was installed would be appreciated.

Did you reverse the LED leads? Try that and see if it emits light. LEDs are picky about positive and negative
I can get it to turn on, but when I put it in the cup holder you can't see it. Not a wide enough angle bulb? Need specific type?
