Uh, ok, take it apart, there's like this plastic thing that acts like a fiber optic...pull that off. Unsolder the filament bulb, and solder an LED in there.
Make sure you solder a resistor on there of the correct ohms. You will need to use Ohm's law to figure out what resistor to use. It's been so long I forget what I used.

What do you mean you've done everything but the window switches? What all have you done?

ya, just pull up on the plastic piece that contains the power window and lock switches. there are retaining clips that hold it in place just like your dash. it is not possible to break. unless you

Just to be clear, I am talking about the transparent piece of plastic inside the controls after you take the outer pieces off.
It will come out. I thought I was going to break it too, but you just gotta wiggle it alot while you pull on it at the same time.
Just be patient.
Good luck
