I've searched around TI and other forums and found a few topics out there pertaining the ashtray and cig lighter MOD, but have not really found a complete write up nor updated pics.

This thread I'm going to show you the approach I took when doing my climate control LEDs. This is specifically for swapping the Ashtray and cigarette lighter from OEM bulbs to 5mm LEDs.

Again let me stress that I did this MOD with what I had to work with. It may be different from how you would do yours depending on your skill level or materials/tools you have. It might be a lot of work to some, but it's the fun for us that likes to DIY.

Tools and materials needed:

2 5mm LEDs (Color of your choice)

2 470 ohm resistors

Soldering iron

Electrical tape

Philips screwdriver

Dremel

Wire stripper

4 male and 4 female spade connector

Needle nose pliers
