how to change ignition light colors
About a week ago I had bought some red leds for my svx to change the green boring lights to red. I have sucessfully wired one of the red lights inside the ignition so it glows red instead of green!!
Here is the easiest way i can explain: 1-buy leds 2-take off top and bottom steering covers 3-carfully pull off the clear piece around the ignition 4-take out light and cut off the plug 5-(here when i wired the led up to existing wires it would not dim off like the OEM light would so i ran new wires to the light down by the brake pedals and wired it up to that light so it would dim with it.) 6-secure the light in the clear housing with epoxy or tape on the back of light so it doesn't come out 7-make sure it comes on when your door is open and dims off when you close it 8-reverse order from 3 to 1 enjoy the new colors |

Any chance you can offer a lot more detail on this?
Step 1) What size, etc. LEDs? Step 2) Where are the screws and such, for those of us who haven't removed the column covers before? Pictures, pictures, pictures?
