Nice work! The 5th gen switches look so differnt, silly even. Why did it need a resitor? Were you replacing regular bulbs?

yeah, the LED's look great, they couldnt have turned out, or looked better. we definitly ran into a few problems, but sean figured them all out relativly quickly, while I just sat there nervous my windows would never go down again

heres a behind the scenes pic of sean at 4am, looks like hes about to keel over hahaha

i can answer for sean on this one, we used these writeups (from the 4th gen how-to section)

- http://www.petah.org/maxima/hazard.htm
- http://www.petah.org/maxima/climate.htm
- http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/479058/3

and he doesnt have any extra LED's, he needs to buy some more to do the bose stereo LED, and some other things, but he got him off a guy on ebay who deals with the ORG a lot, and there pretty cheap, he can give you the guys name.

they use those on 3rd gens aswell for the dash switches, except ours have some "goo" on them so the ball's stay in place for the most part when you hold them upside down and such. Makes it much easier
