Well this is the Dual CC Panel. I removed the PCB from the outer casing and knobs. You will see i soldered the LEDs directly in. This takes a little trial and error as the LED's are a particular polarity. 2 of the 3 bulbs shine directly onto 4 optical pieces of clear plastic. This allows the light to travel to the temp switches. In order to faciliate the LEDs i melted a smal V so that the domed LED would sit nicely and allow the blue light to be captured. Also take note that behind the LCD temp indicators are a transparant geen plastic seat. This gives the LCD its green illimunation as the light filters thorugh. If you remove them, whatever colour you chose will shine through instead. An absolute success. I will update photos tomorrow with it all installed in the vehicle.
