This mod happened on accident when the bulbs on my cruise switch went out. When I went to the dealer it turned out for the cost of the two bulbs I could purchase enough LED's to covert all the switches to a more pleasing to me color... ;act028:
Simple mod.
Remove the dash panel and replace the OEM switch bulbs with T3 neo wedge LED replacements.
Any of the on/off type switches can have the bulbs replace.
I also did a little mod taking the little yellow rubber cap off the main lights switch to expose the blue LED already available.
The thermostat control knobs and the LCD display can also be converted. The control panel separates via 4 screws that give you access to the 4 T3 neo wedge that lights up the LCD.
The buttons for the control buttons require 6 T4 neo wedge.
During this mod I figured I might as well take the radio apart to see what’s inside. The bulbs are soldered to the pcm board. They have little blue caps to make the yellow light given off into greenish color. I removed those caps and recolored using a blue sharpie along with all the frosted areas of the plastic light diverters for the buttons on the front panel along with the two for the CD slot.
Finished pictures will follow. I only had my cell phone available at the time... There are some others on the ROC that have also completed this mod... I am hoping they too will share there pics....
The total cost of this mod was under $20...
