Pics of led's behind my a/c and headlight controls

A/C


headlight

On the headlight controller, I forgot all about the fog light switch lighting up, but does anyone know if you can even change the color of that. I think it may be just the switch that lights up. Please tell me if you know. It only took 3 3mm led's to light it up. To get the led's to have a greater viewing angle (made it more like a bulb), I lightly sanded it until it was a little cloudy.

and here are the gauges i put in gauge

The gauges are just an overlay. They just slide over the original gauges.

Looks great! Your post on LEDs for the shift plate inspired me to go all out with LEDs, now I'm an LED-aholic, slappin them in my headlights, headliner, gettin ready to make it apperance show quality.

Glad I could be an "inspiration"
Where are you putting them in the headliner?

For the other questions...I bought the from ebay. Thery're only $15.99. To put the led's in, I just took the regular light bulbs out from behind the a/c panel. For power, I tapped into the wire that powered the original bulbs. There is also a 100 ohm resistor on each of the led's that I used. The led's I ordered were from coolerguys.com. Can't remember the specs of the led's, but it was a pack of 4.
