check the connector for the switches. my connector started going loose and some of my switches stopped working and progressively got worse. reseated the connector and voila

ok well this is what i found. i had changed my fronts to white leds. looks killer in white, gives it a upclass look. so i took the backs out and like knight said..they werent working. did the led mod on them with white 13000mcd,3.6v, 20Ma with 660 ohm resistors on each. now they work and look way nice. thanks for all the thoughts on the old bulbs.

ill get pics up by the end of the weekend gotta work xmas eve night, xmas night and the day after so im tied up til sunday.
i did the led mod on all door switches, climate control (front and rear defrost and recirculate), center vents and console light under climate control. im trying to think on what other areas i can LED things. Dont want to do the instrument cluster as i cant afford a new one if it gets messed up.
ive posted prob a couple years that my first led mods were on the door puddle lights, dome light, map lights, trunk light and license plate

edit: maybe ill do a knight rider led mod in the front grill hahaha
