Default Lighting and Window Switches

Alright guys got a few questions.

First does any one have white LED's in there head unit and HVAC? If so can I see some pics. Also isnt the HVAC light just a few blubs that I can just order online.

Second, I want to make all the window switches auto switches just like the drivers side window. First off can I do this? Second can i just buy the auto down switches and replace them or do i have to do some wiring as well.

Any help would be great. Thanks!

ive got blue LED lights in my stock head unit and the HVAC.
the HVAC was 2 bulb wired up just like a christmas tree bulb,
you know the plastic socket with 2 wire going threw and then bent up. very simple to replace. the trick is this: regular filement bulb shine light in all directions and LEDs are focused. i pointed the left bulb to the right and the right bulb to the left. this gave me a nice even brite glow with no hot spots. and because i wired it to the stock location i can controle it with the dimmer switch.

the head unit was a bit more difficult.

i would also be interested in making all my windows auto down like the drivers. so if anyone knows how...................

Auto switches would be tough. You can get the HVAC bulbs from autolumination.com

Let me know if you wanna order from em, I'll get in on it and save some shipping.

The windows I did. Love it. I hooked them all four up to the window regulators and with a couple of relays to my clifford alarm. When I start my car with remote I can press remote and all 4 windows will crack open, hit it again and hold it they will roll down. When I arm my alarm the windows all roll up. Some how my guy hooked them up to the drivers side window so if you hit any window they go all the way up or down unless you stop it with a bump. Hope this helped.
