Madjackal 0 Posted May 30, 2012 I want to change the LEDs in all my switches (heated seats, windows, rear windscreen, fog lights etc.) from green to red. I have taken them out and prised a couple open and decided that it is beyond my expertise. Can anyone advise where I could take my car to get this done professionally? Or can anyone out there do this job for me? East Anglia based. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 30, 2012 The window switches are a little more tricky as you have to unsolder the top of the switch before even getting to the LED solders. I got an offer from someone to do mine - which i still need to get done :oops: But i you ask on here, someone maybe willing to do them for you. Though you'll be without switches for a couple of days.

Offer still stands :) whenever you're ready though. I'll do anyone elses too if they're willing to send them over plus a few quid to cover the cost of LEDs and postage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 31, 2012 CorradoChris - Maplins do the correct one. Do a search inregards to what size and voltage. You need mostly 5v 3mm or 5mm (size is up to you but 3mm should be fine) also you need slightly different voltage ones for the sunroof switch. Jason - aaah ha, it was you wasnt it. Appreciated mate, i'll prob get them done soon as i have another car ot use and corrado wont be used as a daily. Sorry its been so long haha. Probably best to send them all over and just let you get one with it... postage will be cheaper too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corradochris16v 10 Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for that was looking on ebay but maplin much easier. need to do the lighter and heater bulbs sorry to hijack the thread by the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted May 31, 2012 Dont think the lighter or certainly the heater dial bulbs are as straight forward as just replacing the LEDs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corradochris16v 10 Posted May 31, 2012 I thought they all needed soldering would be too easy just swapping them over and am learning with a corrado nothing is easy :bonk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easier to replace the coloured shield around the lighter and with the heater controls need some creative thinking :D lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
