Great, I have an 05. I guess I have to split the case on the switch, because it is a sealed switch.

Yes and no. On a 00-02 the traction control button is on the driver's side above the headlight switch. The actual button does not light up, but the words "Traction Assist" do light up. Here is a picture of one that I have done with blue LEDs. On a 03-06 the traction control button is a smaller button to the right of the radio and AC controls, there are no actual words on that one, just a symbol. And yes the button itself lights up on the 03-06 models.

These are the two sizes in blue that you need. They have resistors built in already, so they are ready to solder in.

Who knew they made LEDs with built in resistors.. Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong. Any chance you know of some with flat heads with the same specs? I want to make sure I get the right ones with the resistors. Also, the flat head ones I've used have had perfect light output.

I guess I could just grind the ends down flat... Right?
