Message	I used smaller 3mm LEDs for those locations. Just make sure they color match with the larger ones being used. This pix should give you a better idea. Note where I used more than one LED to get better coverage - like the OFF-ECON light bar and the upper pod AUTO and Defroster buttons. FYI --- For the light bar I also added another 3mm LED next to the light bar end by the OFF button. I glued that LED down next to the light bar on the pod cover side. You can do a similiar trick for the WIPER switch icon down lower, since that OEM bulb is harder to access for LED replacement. PS - I changed out my ORANGE button LEDs with blue -- so decided it made sense while I had it all apart of hardwire the illumination LEDs too.
