surman is the one with the secrets on how to switch it... the blue button belongs to sam. i'm sure she'll post up pics as soon as she gets a whiff of this thread.

Whats up bro!!!!

Welcome to the forum, what city/area are you from?

Sam is right Surman doesnt do it anymore...... and let me tell you that $H!T is NOT easy!!! You have to take apart the dash de-solder the LED then put the new BLUE LED on and solder it on in the right spot if you dont get the right spot.... no light it took my about 5 tries and I finally got the push start blue however the LEDs are not as bright as the stock one so during the day it looks kind of dim at night they look sick!!!! Now I didnt complete the push start yet cause the used 2 different types of LED's.

It can be done but really its very very hard. It makes baking the headlights seam like a walk in the park. :tisk: :tisk:

But you are more than welcome to hit me up if you got question about it there are a few other poeple that have done it. PM me if you need some help.
