i actually soldeird in the 5mm leds that u sent me mate!! and they were really nice and bright :! :)

but it was a tight fit and i managed to fry the switch on the passenger side wen soldeiring it :(

the switches i hav at moment are some third party ones,big ugly n shite! n i fried it wen tryin to soldier in a blue led in passenger side:rolleyes:

so i want original vaux ones now, but is the wiring the same, i jus checked the wiring in the switches i got n its a bit weird??

do all switches work in the same way?? if so then is shud be cool

it should do cause all your doing is replacing the switch, so wherever the old switch went the new one will go.

doubt u should have problems with the switch

i can get hold of the switches and panels but im not sure if the switches will work with the wiring i hav at the moment as it is not original wiring, was installed after with third party wiring and electric window motors, wat u think??

Thanks

as above, do they have a back light(illuminated) wen the ignition is turned on??

if so, is it possible to change the bulbs for nice blue leds??

correct me if im wrong also, but the original vauxhall window switch is located on the tweeter cover on the "passenger side"(plastic cover bit above handle) and is a single switch??

and on the lower plastic door panel on "drivers side" double switch??

cheers :wave:
