Hello,
I have finally found some time to work on the interior lighting, and converting it from Green to Cool White.
I haven't finished the whole panel yet. Still need to work on the SMD's later on when they arrive this weekend.
And also the door LED's and footwell too. I just finished the plug ins for today.


So if you want to get the screw in LED's for your " TRAC, Sunshade, seat heaters, PWR/Snow" and also for the separate climate controller left and right of the NAV system. You will need to buy the following:

T4.2 Neo Wedge LED bulb clusters. This is where I bought mine from:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-White-T4-T4-2-Neo-Wedge-LED-Bulb-Cluster-Instrument-Dash-Climate-Base-Lights/201152326114?_trksid=p3693.c100102.m2452&_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140212121249%26meid%3D7033fc95fa6c4d53b35ede43e4810bdb%26pid%3D100102%26
As for the radio buttons and Nav buttons, you will need to solder on some size 1206 SMD's instead of the orange ones that are already there but covered up with a green silicone cover that you can remove if you just wanted to have your lighting in orange.

Same goes for footwell lighting and window buttons + seat memory buttons on the drivers side.

The small faded light that shines on the door handle is a 3mm LED. Same goes for the 2 lights that are up next to the moonroof. You need to remove the existing orange 3mm LED and replace them or solder on whatever colored LED you wish, you can even go crazy and install one of those RGB LED's where you can control them via a remote and have them at whatever color you'd like.








These are the SMD's that are behind the radio buttons. Green cap removed.





These here are the navigation buttons, again with green cap, will glow orange when that is removed.





These here are the T4.2 Neo wedge bulbs that I replaced from stock to Cool White.





Here I just removed the green caps, you can see how orange they are. Kind of like BMW's and Audi's.





Here is how they all look, stock with the green cap.





Without green cap.





New cool white T4.2 LED's.





Overall look.

Hopefully I will have the project completed during the weekend.

Nice... How difficult are the circuit boards behind the temp up/down buttons to access??

Those buttons are one of the easier ones to do.

Using a plastic wedge, you can pry it off from the panel. And screwed to this module from the side, you'll see the light bulb I changed here with the LED's. To take this bulb out you just simply need a Phillips screw and turn it counter clockwise and the old bulb should fall straight out in your hand.

Then you just screw the new one in, whichever color you got, which looks like this.

This is how they look like from the bottom.
