Fitting white LED's into late electric window switches - Has anyone done this?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am just working through a small few details on one of my corrado's and wondered if anyone has tried this, or has done something similar?

 

Any pointers would be great,

 

Thanks :)

i've fitted blue ones to my switches.

Window switches are a pain. If i were to do them again this time i would remove the circuit board by desoldering the three spots each side. Then remove the bulb in the middle and solder your 3mm led into it. Finally resolder the board back into place. I did it by leaving the board in place, which is ultimately very hard. Also, the positioning of the led on the baord is critical as it ges into a recess in the rocker part of the switch so you have to make sure it is absolutely central. I did mine about 7 years back though.
