LED window switch

Who can make these....I've tried 2 times and for some reason it won't work for the drivers side.....All the other switches I got to work but not the drivers side -_- I even bought a new switch and tired all over and still no luck....

Someone back in June said they were an expert and did it at like $10 a switch.....anyone wanna do this for me or sell me theirs?

leds have a polarity, try turning them around? maybe they are in series so if you have one in backwards, or one bad led, than none will work.

I did my dimmer switch and cruise control...i tired doing the auto air part of the dash and the light kinda glowed unevenly so over the weeked imm file the LED down so it is flat and will emit light more evenly.....ummm Imma get a new digital camera tomorrow so I post pics tomorrow or Friday morning.

I tested with a small 3V flat battery and when I put it on the first LED they all lit up but when I actually have it in the car it does nothing so there is a bad connection somewhere but it is clearly labeled which is + and - so i double and triple checked and they are all OK....i dunno whwat the prob is...

I was going to start mine not to long ago but never seemed to get the time to do it. Maybe the solder on the legs of the LED are touching something and thats why its not working? Not really sure but take a close look, ive been told to be careful with that and also, not to apply too much heat cause it can make the entire thing go bad. Anyway thats what ive been told, hope it helps.

take a gooood look at the underside of the circuit board in the window switch, just a little bit of movement while your soldering can cause the trace runs in the board to tear. if you have a multimeter you can use the continuity checker to check for connections.
