Do you have a link or something for the LED"s you used? Do they all have to be soldered in place?

hinow41

I don't have a link i did the mod like over a year ago. People have been asking left and right so I threw something together. The leds are 3mm 12v Google it you will find a company that has them. For soldering.its only the ones on the dash and window controls. The steering wheel you just wrap the wire around the brown piece just like the stock ones are. Its a pain in the ass but it works.

Does the dimmer switch light up stock? Mine isn't on, and I took it to the dealer to replace the bulb and they said that it never lights up. I've had the car 2 months and I can't think if it was lit or not.

I should come up there one day and have you install blue ones for me You did a great job!

hinow41

Thanks.

The dimmer switch does not light up. You could make it but its not really worth it. You would have to dill a hole in it and then put a Led in and then tap a fuse to get it to turn on when the others do.

Are the steering wheels different on other year models? My controls are in color matched plastic.

Erod, your awesome. How have things been man? Its been forever since I talked to you...

Bad05SS

ok so i tried doing the mod and ending up burning 2 of the 3 leds up lol. so what i want to know is what size led you use? i used 3mm low intensity size t-1 3volt 15mA, and can i put them in any way or is there a pos and neg?

hinow41

You need a 12v and they wont burn out

hinow41

You need a 12v and they wont burn out

Grich171

did you do the lock switches and the mirror switches too? i took mine apart today and i cant see how to get the stock one out.. pics.

hinow41

Yeha i did those too. The bulbs should be conected to something very similar. Just have to twist it out and then connect the new bulbs. I did this mod a long time ago and I don't have my car right now so I can't look. I will try and get you a 100% answer soon.

ah nvm I fig it out. See on the bottom. That little plastic holding the bulb take that out and then just work the nexbulb in.
