A while back I installed a spree dash kit and while all the bulbs worked fine the light didn't pass through the switches. My question is did any celicas come with switches that let light pass through or will I have to file the backs of them down?

do you mean, the back-lighting didn't come through the buttons well? or the indicators of when a button is pushed isn't changed?
if it's the ambient back-lighting: there is a piece of clear plastic on the top row that should carry the glow to the buttons reasonably well. so perhaps the led is plugged in the wrong way around. if it's the indicators under each button, then those are separate leds that need to be de-soldered (after you draw a diagram indicating the polarity) then resolder some 3mm leds into each one. |

Unfortunatly when I had the unit apart a few days ago all the bulbs were indeed working  When I took the switches off they seemed to just be painted on the backs and no light shined through unless I held a light pretty much touching the switch
