Alright, ladies & gents...time for some pics of my latest creations! The first pics you see is of my climate control. I have placed an LED behind each individual button to allow for the ULTIMATE in CC lighting! What you see is a pic of just the extra LEDs I have added. It is NOT plugged into the OEM leads, just off the battery for now.

I also wanted to give thanks to medon99...he was the first one to try something of this nature, credit goes to him for the inspiration. THANKS, D00D!



The second pic is of the visor LED assemblies. These things are BRIGHT.





Enough for now...I'll let the pics speak for themselves. I WILL HAVE HOW-TO'S FOR ALL OF THIS...just give me some time, I start a new job working for a DoD contractor tommorow, and my mind is, well...elsewhere. ENJOY!

Sweet, looks good. How did you mount the LEDs? One of mine fell out/got dissconnected from the board on the AC controls.

So I need to redo them all. Since the 4th gen has the push button instead of a **** for the temp, up will be a red LED and down will be a blue LED.

Dam Dan you couldn't have the visors done before the meet. I may have to make a mini meet. Any word on those leds for the trunk. Car is coming out the shop.

Dude, the visors are one of the most difficult LED mods one can do. It's NOT easy.

Trunk LEDs are going to be awhile, I'm going to start on the exterior LEDs in a week or two...I have some VERY small things to finish in the interior before the entire project is DONE.
