The bulbs are under the red tape. The reflective material came from a trashed Halogen light. Cut a strip to fit across the top and bottom of the switch cover. From the top view they are the thin silver strips. They actually are about 1'' long.

I like the Step by Step photos thanks you are Da Man! I'll have to stop by so you can tell me what I need so we can do mine, by the way I hope your feeling better. :twothumbs My question to you is this. Since you have been electrctcuted a few weeks ago do you fine your self wanting to do more Electrictal Mods to your ride. Your doing an Outstanding job not only do you have the Best Under the Hood Mods, and now almost all of your Electrical Interior is just about redone. I think all you have left now is the Paint job and I know how much you enjoy the Jet Black Look.

One more question for Rudeinc or tcstoy. Did you use a resistor in line with the LEDs?

I didn't. Hard wired to the wiper switch light wires.

I didn't... I used 4 LED's that usually run off of approximately 3 watts each, wiring them in "series" allows them to equally split the approximate 12v supplied to them. Now if you wire the LED's seperate or in "parallel" you will need to add a 470 ohm resistor (for blue LED's, some other colors require larger resistors).

Here is a great reference when wiring up LED's....I use it all the time...regards
