I just did this mod this weekend. It looks fine with plain PLCC. I put blue for the windows and red for the locks. I will post pics if I ever remember to.

Yes it will not work if installed backwards. Look for the direction of the arrow on the circuit board to the placement of the dent on the corner of the led.
