Default blue/white LED dash and window switches!!!

hey guys! i started a new project: swap out the ugly green LEDs to blue and white LEDs. I finished the passenger front and back window and lock switches and they look great! only problem is the window switches blink on and off in a pattern. Its not a loose connection im pretty sure because the pattern is not random. I was wondering if anyone knows why and how to fix the blinking problem. I want the lights to stay on and not blink.

Thanks!!

did you disconnect the battery before doing this?
tty this: go to each door and lower the window half way down and then all the way up. that should solve it. Dont do it from the drivers control switch.
Its a known "feature".

You just need to reset the window switches. That's why they are blinking.

Norcal or socal?
