Attention: All those with MGW A/C *****
Did something this weekend that you guys might like. Stopped by Radio Shack and picked up two packs of T 1 3/4 green LED's ($0.99/pk). I then broke off both of the leads and dropped them down in the "backlight holes" of the billet *****. Makes sure you push the LED all the way down. I then used a little Super Glue to hold them in. Presto, a perfectly matched green backlit indicator light. It looks stock at night. It took all of three minutes to do!
Ofcourse you could drop in some yellow, blue, red, etc. etc. but the green matches perfectly.

What do you mean....
I then broke off both of the leads???
How did you get the glue to stick without filling up the hole?
Could u e-mail me at Basktbalr7@aol.com and describe this better?

The two wire leads(on the LED) are very thin. Simply bend them a few times and they will snap off at the base of the LED. Once you drop them in the hole, push them down to make sure they are centered. Hold them up to the light and you will see if they are centered. There should be nothing but green light. Then, just put a couple drops of glue around the edge and let sit for a minute or so. That's it.
The backlighting will shine thru the LED at night to give a nice green glow.

beefcake,
Kind of off-topic here, but do you think you could replace your "politically correct" signature image with something a bit smaller? It looks like that image is over 100k in size, which is pretty large for the bandwidth impaired...thanks! (not singling you out, just happened to see it)

I will agree though that the MGW pieces are top quality though!!
