Steering wheel switch LED conversion.

Please see this how-to for how-to remove http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-How-to-Remove-Airbag-Steering-Wheel-Buttons.

You will need some PLCC-2 the amount needed varies depending on the switch I recommend the ones from this seller on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121277975850?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I have had 100's of LED'S from this guy.

So you have the switch

First thing we need to do is open it up, there are 4 clips 2 each side un-clip them with a small screwdriver.

Once you've un-clipped one side you should be able to lift the backing off.

Now carefully you need to remove the PCB board and rubber cover (Not under this are little white plastic lugs which can fall out).

Next step remove the rubber and start your LED conversion. I've marked with a red line which is negative for you.

To get the correct polarity of the new LED you will see the corner is cut this is the negative end, see image below.

As with all electrical how-to's
we except no responsibility for any issues
that could arise all are carried out at your own risk.
If the how-to is followed correctly you should have no issues.
