I just hardwired in a bunch of LED's this weekend. Climate control I added a few that werent there, to try and get the light output more even and less splotchy. I did the power switch and the whole shifter sequence.
The pictures suck and dont show that the light is really even thru out the displays. I got white leds but they have a small blueish tint to them
Man was it dirty in there. Lots of sticky crud. Looks like the original owner spilled something down the console. Everything was covered in goo
Heres some more http://picasaweb.google.com/fiveota/LEDs

The HVAC is a T4 bulb I believe and the outside button is a t3. I used the OEM housing. Just undo the positive and negative wires from around the bulb housing and it will come right out. I cut the bottom of my led bulbs just enough so they could fit in the OEM housing.

For the HVAC you have to make sure you have the positive and negative leads right as it is polarized ( The car must actually be on).

Okay I FINALLY got around to doing my AC unit tonight. If anyone is wondering the leds from http://autolumination.com/74.htm are the right ones.
Order 6 "C" bulbs, 1 "A" and 1 "B" and they work.
I need to get better at taking night shots with lights. They came out more bluish in the pics but in person they are white.
And yes, the Outside button is very bright! lol

If I remember correctly, I used the type B for the Outside button and the type A was for behind the LCD screen.

On a side note:
While I was back there I realized why some of my HVAC options weren't working. The middle harness was ready to fall out lol. Wasn't touching anything/plugged in at all...
