ok, . . . so here's an update a year later . . . I added new pics to the first post.

I pulled the twist locks out and used the sodder in LEDs vs the 194s. They're not as bright and blend in with the rest of the dash. The color now is more of a purple/blue vs a light blue.

The air bag switch was the hardest by far, I killed one.

I've done an 04 and 06 with the digital A/C and the manual sliders. The manual a/c was harder by far.

I still have some hot spots, but those are getting worked out

Can you put together a part list for what you would need to do the a/c controller and head light switch and one next to it and air bag switch.

Do you have to put a resister on end of each led?? Do you have any write up or pictures.
