Yeh hopefully ill get to the other contols in a week or so. Do you remember which part#s from superbright you got. I got the 45 degree angle blue leds-i might try the 30degree ones though becuase they arent as bright. Definelty put at least 6 leds on the top part of ac controls-i had four and it looked like . Also did you put 3mm bulbs in the bottom part of th ac, and what about the 4x4 controls.

The LEDs I have are:
RL5-B4630 5mm, blue, 30°
RL3-B2030 3mm, blue, 30°
RL3-W3030 3mm, white, 30°

The A/C controls I used 3mm blue in the buttons with 3mm white as the indicator.
The 4x4 switch I used 5mm blue for lighting and 3mm white for the indicator.

If you look in their gallery it looks like you can mount it flush too.

Yeah it appears to be true; however, I don't know how it would work-at least with the Alpine hu I have. I needed to trim about .5" all around the opening in order to fit the alpine. When I installed it the only way to mount it wasn't flush.

Do you need the resistors to power led?? I want to do this. Was there write-up that found to do this??
