well if you need some spare switches and things to do before swapping them out, let me know. I have a box load of bits. Just send me the postage when they arrive and let me know

I have as spare 24v instrument cluster you can have so you can do it while still using the car, just have a check of yours and see what type of plug multiplug layout it has, there are different types.

How easy is it to do the switches and what type of voltage/ampage would be required?
As usual i have several switches i can't see at night and it would be nice to mod them to blue.

the radio is just a case od unsolder the green leds and solder the blue ones it, just make sure you get them the right way round!
as for the dash and the other bits, there is a green backing on them, so unless you remove this which means stripping everything down (which is what im doing) then your best bet is to get some really powerful blue leds and hope it overpowers the green.
the window switches on the door are like the radio, just swap the leds
leds generally run at about 2v, so if your replacing the dash bulbs, you'll need some little resistors too
