ayoh, he means those little lights you have on your window switches and stuff. instead of that pale green, you can get other nice pretty colorz for it... and brighter too!

didn't YJ or someone do the ignition already? should be pretty easy... it's just one LED, i think. the stereo display is a mess, from what i remember. i don't think you really want to gut the entire stereo for it... might not be worth it... but someone (someone please raise your hand) did the Temp controls and said it was a major pain... but perfectly doable.


alright folks... going now to Radio Shack to get m'LEDs... let's just hope they have enough in stock!

hmm

the lights used for the driver side where the window controls and door locking stuff is... they use lights or LED's? if it's only leds, sweet!!! hehe should make each one a different color... red green and blue ;-) or 2 colored... depending on how you feel or they fade from one color to another...

anyways... post instructions and pics when anyone has time would be awesome to see.
