Here's the write up or at least the best one I found there are others, I used 5000mcd a little large, so you have to drill out some bigger openings with the drivers side but the illumination is awesome. If you've got a good soldering iron etc and know what your'e doing it shouldn't be a problem. I chose blue sorry I don't have any pics yet. There was (not sure if he still is) also a guy on here doing it for $50 exchanging switch pods. good luck.

I know what you mean, I got a spare set of window switches..... just incase and sure enough first one I do I screwed it up, so I took it to my pal's car audio shop and he did them for me, $ well spent and he fixed my screw up too, but the rears in the spare set that he changed for me were different than on my 95 so they must come from a 97> so he did the rears that were in my car, I guess I should get him to do the other front set then I could sell a complete set already converted to Ocean Blue, just plug em in 97> ???
