Also what kind would i need to do the a/c heater control ones, the steering wheel controls and the headlight switch?
Here is what I went out and bought:



And here is what my passenger door window switch looked like:



I have a 2003 STX. My door locked looked just like that as well.

Edit: Also, be careful, I just did this!

hey sorry i didnt read your reply earlier.

yes those will work for the switches but what are you gonna do with 100??

heres a list i made up for b2therad to get to do his truck. enjoy

For the dash youll need 8 of the bulb type WLED-x-x LED bulb that will be at the top of the link below. order these in white and they will also work in the license plate bulbs

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ini-wedge.html (top of the page)

youll also need two 74-x Wedge Base LED bulb to replace the 37 type leds at the top of the cluster also in white and again at the top of the link below

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...ini-wedge.html (title on the section is Instrument Panel and Gauge LED Wedge Base bulbs)

Switches in the doors use 3mm leds in your color choice from superbrightleds.com. youll need atleast 10 (radioshack carries red and green i think)

headlight switch you need a 5mm led in color of choice and a 680ohm resistor (online or radioshack)

The switches are green already. The only thing that has the film is the odometer and HVAC.
