right got her done ...here a couple of pics
take it apart and install some 3mm led's behind each logo....i used standard green led's and a blue/red led for the cold/hot positions, you could scrape off the coloured film on the back of the filter if you wanted to use another colour like for a blue dash or suchlike
stuck down with hot glue...bit of chrome tape to make it reflect, thread the wires out where the old bulb was
pic looks a bit blury due to my pants photo taking skills...its very nice and not blurry at all in person
fag lighter needs at least 2 led glued to the back of the lense
lights up like this
also did the dash switches..again 3mm green led, superbright ones
