I'll try to get more pics tomorrow. Still haven't done the HUD/dimmer. Smaller holes on that one. I tried grinding the LEDs. I'll drill out the holes and see if I can make it work. If not I'll use 3mm LEDs. I used 5mm for everything else and it worked fine.

Looks great!!!!
Yes 3mm LEDs for the HUD/Dimmer switch. The Page button, you'll want to try and get the LED down in the hole aimed towards the button...

Cool!!
BTW... What's up with your "Driver" icon on your HVAC, the LED go out???
I sometimes have to put two LEDs under those icons to when doing Blue as it over powers Red...

Hi Jim!!
I still use 5mm with resistors soldered unto them. I can control the angle and depth that way for an almost prefect look.
I've heard really good things about the new plug and play LEDs that are out now. I know JW is selling a lot of them.

Why the resistors? To reduce the light output?
I did this years ago with my window controls and just used the NeoWedge LEDs without resistors in white and they just seemed way too bright in relation to the rest of the interior lights. So I reverted the window controls back to their OEM bulbs. But I would like to try it again.

Bringing this thread back. The plug n play stuff that jw has now (like footwells, and other interior lights) is really just plug n play? I saw earlier on mods would have to be done for everything to work correctly. I am not wanting to mess with the hvac and stuff yet but plan to later. Looking at toquez06 website it looks like all of that stuff was just plug n play with the hyperflash fix.
Am I correct?
I was planning on using the plug n play strips from jw for the foot wells (red) and white led for every other light
