I would love to switch them to led I'm just not very soulder savvy and it is quite pricey to get everything done
And as far as the mirror buttons not working does anyone know what the problem might be or is the switch just bad?
The power mirror switch only has one bulb in it. It illuminates the square pad, and very faintly gives some light to the selector switch. If the switch is actually not working (aside from the lighting) you can try popping it open and cleaning the inside and the contacts. They get VERY dirty and can stop working. But be careful when opening it, as there are some very small parts inside. Try doing it in a try like a baking pan, so if anything does fall out you wont lose it. And open it with the buttons facing down, and you might not even have anything fall out. Just lift the back up and off when you get it popped loose. Then clean the dirt out of there with a q-tip and some alcohol. If it doesn't work after a good cleaning, then you will have to replace the switch.
And yes, people say my prices to do LED work are not cheap. But for all the work involved, I think 20-30 bucks per switch is more than fair. Yes, it does add up if you want your entire interior done though. It takes me roughly around an hour to open up and clean each part, and unsolder the stock bulbs then solder in LEDs and resistors. So for what all is involved and as much of my time it takes up, I cant afford to do them any cheaper than that. I have done numerous write ups with detailed pictures and all showing people how to do the LED conversions themselves. Those who have done it themselves can attest that is is a VERY time consuming process.
