    Cool man!

    I wonder if there would be enough room in the power window switches to install a LED with resistor. I had lighted PW switches in a VW I owned long ago and they were easy to find in the dark
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!

    there should be enough room, if there isn't get some basic fiber optic cable and run it to one LED it will save a lot of space and wires, you want a glow around the edges in the dark.

    Using fiber optic cable is a good idea!

    What is the value of the resistor you used? A friend had told me long ago but I forgot

    i'll have to go look, i hope it will be correct for these LEDS i didn't have any specs so i just had to guess and figure them as any other LED
