i think i've found the final cc unit mod Options

for the past few months i've been playing with the backlighting on the climate contorl unit allot.

i think i found the best way to do it by making your own twist-in LEDs using the toyota bases and autolumination num74 LEDs.

after you insert them in, and get the polarity right the top one needs to be bent to the side to light up the top button row. and the ac light is really too dim (might be able to file down the side of the LED to get it's focus split though). but overall it's a very non-destructive way to do the cc unit and it looks pretty good.

what about the resistor? LEDs can't handle 12v w/o a resistor

Each LED got it's own resistor which, again, was probably overkill

Each LED that took the place of a bulb got a resistor. The LEDs that replaced the stock LEDs didn't need one of course.
