no one asked if they dim, so i'll ask. do they dim with the switch?

a guy locally in CA here will do it for around $900 i think. which is quite a bit considering to manufacture the LED is around 9 cents.

i would love to do this, but the blue one i've seen is way brighter than i would like.

i guess the vent dial lights are next?

did you disconnect the battery to take off the airbag from the steeringwheel?

hey nate, always disconnect the battery when taking out the airbags. also wait at least 3 minutes before disconnecting the airbag.
