Interior LED mod?

I remember a write up for this a while ago but I can't find it anymore. =[


If anyone can find or post the write up or give me some basic instructions on how to do this. LMK please. I am sick of the ugly green. Thanks.

LEDs for what?

Clock, window switches, gauge cluster, dome light, map light, door lights?

All can be found with the search...

Just a quick note about window switches:

If/when you change the LEDs on your driver's side front (the master control), instead of trying to desolder all the little leads from the board, just cut the leads close to the top of the LEDs, then solder your new LEDs' leads to the old leads that are still attached to the board.

My 12 year old circuit board didn't hold up well and the metal contacts came right off the wood board, and trying to re-wire a circuit board full of LEDs is not fun.

I ended up getting another one and did the method I described above and it was MUCH easier, and no problems yet.

Good luck!
