Right! That reminds me! I've got power door locks to install! lol

 

Do you think this is possible too with the switches on the doors for the power windows and locks. The back doors don't light up. I think I might try this on my day off next week. I haven't tinkered around with my tryck lately and I'm anxious to do so. I have my door plates coming and I am going to change my brake pads and belt.

 

I've already had that done... or my uncle has.

 

I've got a set of switches and such kicking around, I'll try and find them, and take a peak, to see if it can be done...


I need to find where everything plugs in, on the door... All the fuses and stuff seem to be in there already, lol, just gotta install stuff...


Edit: I took a peek! And it's surprisingly easy... Actually mounting the LED's is going to be a little harder, but, if you look at the bottom of the arm rest, you can see the bulb holders... There's a smaller grey one for the lock button.

It seems like I can replace a bulb in the drivers side power windows set but the others seem pretty tough to get the actual switches changed, if you can do it, it looks to be all custom work. I'll give it a try. Oh and everywhere I took the lightbulb actually in the switch noone had seen one like it before and could not find it on the computers, so it looks like either a custom job or a trip to the dealership.

Oh and my rear door window switches light up at night, but I don't see how/if I will be able to replace the colors in those.

The windows and lock bulb on the drivers side are easy, and the passenger side looks to be easy as well, the lock light might be a little different...

And I can't comment on the back doors... since I'm a 2 door, and the switches I have are for a 2 door...

 

Yeah I just ordered these online Ebay LED link. Should be getting them soon and should be able to do them easily, I figured them out on the door locks. from what i can tell the rear window switches do not light up so i might have to make that custom. I think for now I will stick with the front though. I'll post pics once i get them installed. and maybe me and drperry and whoever else can contribute to a how to post.

Also drperry, how did you mount your led's in the switches? I was thinking some sort of epoxy or something. Also where did you hook up the power to?

I haven't actually done the switches yet, because they're not ready to go into my truck... I've gotta get the power locks and stuff installed into my vehicle, then I'll have to either make my own switch, or butcher the arm rest, or have a different color switch panel...

 

i definately have to change my lights over to the blue now. that is awsome

 

Well, finally got around to the heater controls... Turns out, blue LED's don't work so well, when using just the standard bulb holders, as they don't have enough ofa spread, so I had to add a couple...

Also, the rear defrost button has it's own separate light, and I put an LED in there too, that's why it's uber bright...
