I'm going to try to put it on top of the dash in the far left corner. I haven't tested to see if it would fit though.

I ordered some from superbrightleds.com but they do no light the switches up so i mite just say the hell with it and solder some in,the problem is the light shines straight not 360°,i soldered one in for the window switches that works good but the window lock and door lock dont light up at all so i got to figure something out

i had em from sbl. they were the neo 3 and 4s. forget which but the drivers one for the windows i believe needs to be the high power one. the standard one is too long. ive since done one 5mm led under each switch on the passenger side switches to practice with cheap leds from radio shack. when my blue come in all finish the rest of them. i did have blue in the passenger switch and it was blue, just not as bright as even of light as id like. maybe the high power ones in all of them wuld work better. i have the led in headlight switch too and its dim. going to led retro 4 or 5 in that as well...

Just ordered a set of these to go in my dash. I was gonna go with SMD 5 LED bulbs, but at $6 a pop I decided I would try these other ones first since they are similar and only a fraction the cost. Will report back with pictures my findings after getting them installed this weekend.

Hey Guys, I am going to order a set of 6 194 blue's for my dash.

http://www.superbrightleds.com/more...194-led-bulb-5-led-wide-angle-wedge-base/199/

I also want to order a set for HVAC controls and all the other buttons on my dash. I have a '97 SLT with 4x4, does anyone know the other type of bulbs I will need to complete this swap? I want to order all of them at once, so I only pay one shipping. Especially since I will be shipping to Canada.

Thanks

P.S. I will also post up before and after pics if people would like to see for comparision.

I went to modifiedlife.com to get all the info I needed. At the top of the page there is a link for all the lights you need for a swap. Just search your make and model :)
