Ask phreddy or you could get him to do it for you if you are in NSW. Look in ASR Audio and Electronics under the sponsors section.

going by what has been said...some are just standard 3mm - 5mm LEDS...(the MODE switch, and headlight switch and back window switches)...all the rest are a SMD LED...supposedly a T10..or PCLL2 ??..not too sure...but if you talk to your mate about these types and get back to me with what is said??...
because id like to do the same thing but dont want to go buy them all to find they arnt the right ones

thanks

in case it helps, blue light is the worst thing for night vision , closes up your pupils or something. Colours closer to the red end of the spectrum are much better.
Unless you REALLY like the blue ones ....

fords have blue lights dont they? i dont think they would have them if it was a big problem, at least i hope lol

nothing is to blue just look at my display=)

Thats a big display Humble !! I waz just giving you something trivia to consider, i have read it somewhere. I think this is also why they use red lights in photography Dark rooms Check out a BMW next time you pass one , most have red lights.
No idea what fords have...
