I am the man! Ha ha!

Ok, anyway, I switched the lights in my door mounted window switches from green to red. Why, to match my red guage lights of course.

Once you pry out the switch assembly and take it apart, you come up with a circuit board with a little green LED perched in a little mount like this::


I just un-soldered the leads from the back of the board and bent my red LED to fit in the same holes, like this::


The driver door is a little different, there are no little holders. The LEDs are on their own seperate circuit borad. But they go in and out the same way.


Now the little button lights up red too.

I apologize for the ****ty pics. Also, the LEDs do have a positive and negative side, so mount them just like the old ones were. I used LEDs from Radio shack, Cat. No. 276-026A
They come in packs of two and you will need one for each passenger door and six for the driver door, so 9 in total.

Thanks

I got it through my friend who used to work at a local store here called Nis-Knacks. I think they have a website at Nis-Knacks.com

Iheard that the cefiro I30 lights wont fit on a max

Some one here who owns a max with the I30 front I think its sycefiro. He said that it wouldnt but he is going to try it with one of his buddys max. It would need a lot of modifying the housing place of the lights to fit. He said if all goes well Hell post about it. If not itll be a bad loss due to the mods.
