Just wondering if anyone has figured out the best option for backlighting the climate control, people have modified the base with a new led, people have just bought those neo wedge based led's, and some people have soldered thier own.
Has anyone tried this with a couple different options? I want a nice looking blue for backlight, i already have blue led's installed for the buttons. How can i accomplish this? im not too worried about light dispersion as long as its semi close to being evenly lit. Thanks guys. |

Contact pittfirefighter, he does good work as far as converting those lights to an LED of the color of your choosing.
