Doing some interior things this weekend...

Swapping out the leds in the window switches. 3mm to 5mm. White leds. Also did the bose, auto CC, and the clock. I was gonna swap out all the leds in the bose, but they are flush mount and very very tiny.

That looks really nice. Is it possible to match the dome lights and the lights on the doors to that?

Im planning to buy leds from cwithk on ebay. How do you think the white 5000mcd leds will look?

edit: I was searching and found a list of all the types of bulbs needed by 97' SEan. He has 5mm leds for the window switches, did this change to 3mm in 98 and 99? Is there any other sizes that are different?

Gauges= 5 x 194 replacement leds
Shifter= 1 x 194 replacement led
Glove box= 1 x 194 replacement led
Trunk= 1 x 194 replacement led
Door lights= 2 x 194 replacement leds

Security= 1 x 5mm led
Window swt= 9 x 5mm leds
Dome= 3 x 5mm leds
Map= 3 x 5mm leds
Vanity= 4 x 5mm leds & 4 330 ohm resistors
Homelink= 1 x 5mm led
Keyring= 1 x 5mm led & 1 330 ohm resistor
Ashtray= 1 x 5mm led & 1 330 ohm resistor

Acc= 4 x 5mm led & 4 330 ohm resistors
2 x 3mm led & 2 330 ohm resistors

Hazard= 1 x 3mm led & 1 330 ohm resistor
Defroster= 2 x 3mm led & 2 330 ohm resistors
Dimmer= 1 x 3mm led & 1 330 ohm resistor
Cruise= 2 x 3mm led & 2 330 ohm resistors

Totals

194 leds= 10
5mm leds= 27
3mm leds= 8
330 ohm = 18

Question, is there like a write up on how to do this? And where can I get the Blue LEDS from at a good price, and how many will I need? Im clueless with this and wondered if maybe someone wrote a write up on this. Thanks guys

PS, The white looks really good bud. But Im gonna go with blue, cause all the lights from indiglos aqnd gauges are blue.

Im trying to get some white leds from cwithk on ebay but I cant fine the 3mm and 5mm with the same mcd. 3mm 4000 TYPICAL/5000MAX and 5mm is 5000 TYPICAL/6000MAX. Is this going to make any difference in color? Where did you get your red celeophone paper?

the LCD display is celophane but the buttons have white leds in them. There are originally 4 bulbs in it, I stuffed 2 5mm leds in each hole. So it has 8 leds in there.
