This is what i'm talking about. I know you have to make resisted led's and run wires to the power source. I would like to know which wires to tap in to though. Thanx

for my back doors i had to run wires in to power up the LED's in my door handles and cups. For the fronts i just found both illumination and dimmer in the door harness.

yeah...

I dunno they just dont look right IMO - i am gonna go white, looks alot cleaner - I agree with Ant, i think that the white LEDs might look ok just not a big fan of blue.

ALSO, I guess i could say my switches are for sale if someone wants to mail me theirs and I can mail mine out with the blue already done perfectly. Let me know.

I've seen blue in the window switches and it looks really good but once you start putting blue in the dash and guages, its just

I have blue in my guages and I'm tired of it. I'm getting my climate control, guages, and door switches all in white and some white neon tubes under my dash and rear seats...

Do you remember which wires these were (what color)? Where did you run the power from for the back doors?

If you don't remember which color they were, how would i go about finding out which ones are illumination and dimmer?
