Does anyone know what l.e.d's i would need to change the colour behind the a/c controls?
Did a search and found some vague info but no real answers.
Does a resistor need to be put in?
Don't want to use those cover things either.
Thanks

get the superbright three way or similar. the leds have built in resistors in most cases. T5 and T10s behind centre console etc as above t10 in tripmeter. i used threeway on the a/c controls and footwell, led strips in the tippy control. see avatar

for the light behind the ac switch itself you will need to take apart the switch and i believe the globe is a t-1

i found that when i used an led with many led, it shone through everything and you could see the circuit diagram,that why i recomemded the invereted ones as the light isnt too strong....
