LED'* Over Door Controls - Blue ECC **INSTALLED**
I decided to change out the dim orange LED'* with some red ones so it flows better with the rest of the car. Anyone ever try these? I got them for $2 each at Radio Shack today. Super easy, cheap, and clean.
I had to shave the edges of the lense slightly so they'd slide into the hole, but not much at all.
No installed pics yet, but they look way cooler than the dim orange. They're not blinding by any means, but they could still pass as stock which is cool too. I'll have more pics when I convert the ECC from green to blue - should be by the end of the week.

I replaced mine with uv leds or "blacklight" and it looks really cool, its adds a cool glow and if you wear anything that is blacklight reactive it glows.

I wonder how bright they'll be at night, so far only two people have noticed that dim orange light in my car. Nobody can find that door handle at night.

No kidding. After even doing it the "hard way", I can't see why anyone would want to put up with those dim orange lights! I'm surprised it took me this long actually.

Inspired by Haro:

Here'* my ECC TOTALLY disassembled for the heck of it
Glass that I'll lay the blue film on. WTF is going on with that burn spot? Everything is working normally....
Here'* why it'd be hard to change the color of the buttons:
It almost looks like clear plastic with a coat of red light diffuser and a coat of gray on top of that, but I'm not sure.
