Wiring question...
I'm redoing my entire interior with red leds (window switches, hazard/defrost, climate control, and Bose headunit). However, the resistors I have are quite large and I can't use them for the hazard/defrost part of the mod though they work for everything else. Therefore since the resistors won't fit inside the buttons themselves I'll need to cut the power wires in the harnesses and solder the resistors into those, so I was wondering if anyone knows which wires in each harness (hazard and defrost) is the positive power wire. Fill me in if you know, thanks!

are you bending your resistors like this?
they should have enough room if u bend it like that. i did mine and they fit snuggly.

i redid all of my window switches and never put resistors on and they work good, although there are already resistors on the board itsself. ive never opened up the dash to see the climate control stuff. i think i will soon though and maybe do that as well.

Your window switches already have resistors built into the boards since the stock bulbs are also leds. But the climate control and hazard/defrost buttons are all small incadescent bulbs so you need a resistor in the circuit.
Dayglo i'm positive the LEDs won't be too dim. What most people do is use a small resistor on each LED, instead, since I'm using all the same type of LED, I can just put one larger resistor in the circuit instead and get the same results (when you look at the pic with what I did with my climate control you'll see what I mean). It's not possible to dremel the kind of room I need to fit these bad boys in
