No More Ugly Ford Glow
Finally got around to changing my climate control leds. I hate the ford green. I went with white leds on all the controls. door locks,windows,power pedal, headlight switch........ect

the leds are surface mount (smt leds) My truck is a 2006. I dont have any install pics. sorry. The install was a little tricky. These leds are REAL small. So you have to be good at soldering. Also because they are diode's you cant expose them to too much heat when soldering. I got the leds from oznium.com. They ship real fast. any more questions just ask!

Nice work, shayden! Wish you had some pictures of the process.

(Maybe you could take it all apart and just do it all over again - this time taking pictures)!
