Default Switch Recolor

Well i've been working on changing the colors of my switches to white.And without the previous work of MMZ_Timelord I would have never thought of doing it.Well I came to two parts that were not co-operating. The Climate Control and the Shifter. I came up with an idea for these two spot that will not require the extensive work of soldering and de-soldering led's. For the Climate i made three strips of led's that I purchased in a 16 ft roll. As you can see in the pictures its bright and now you can see a ring around the numbers so I am going to paint the back of the ring black so it cuts down on the light that comes through it or try to figure out something? As for the shifter I'm going to do the same but with one 3 led strip. You can see the 4 small surface led's right on the cuircut board by the shifter.Well I'm not even going to try to remove and replace them...lol. I have a piece that fits right in under the letters by the shifter and that will make them white.

* I also found the wire that will dim your led strips, for you guys who have them mounted under the dash in the footwells. The gray wire with the blue stripe gives the power you need for your lights and alows them to dim with the switch from the dash. There are a few of them in the center dash behind the radio and the climate control.
