Your red hazard switch looks super dim AP. is the rest of the red in your car that bright to wash that guy out?

How do you hide all the wires along the doors? It seems like mine keep coming out from underneath the plastic next to the door

yeah it's alright... i didn't want to solder an LED in because it's the same brightness as the dash lighting i love the OEM look

hahah nothing is tuckked in these pics that's why you see wires hanging all over hahaha

i take off some of the paneling and usually staple the wires to the carpet flooring

There is space in there for two non-soldered LEDs. You could take apart the old switch and take the LED out of it and put it in the new switch. Would take a few seconds. Just twists in.

yeah but then wouldn't you have to buy a twist in led?

You have a link to my Photobucket still? I have photos of a fully disassembled switch and progression. It's all in there and the same between the USDM and the JDM model.

See, extra space for another LED. Simple. Just harvest the one out of your old switch.

ohh **** okay

well guess you just need it brighter? mine is perfect not too bright

just the same brightness as the dash looks very OEM.. probably because it is JDM OEM

 

[AlienPrime]

thanks a lot for pointing this out tho i had taken it apart just never figured i'd try this

IDK....my JDM hazard switch just seems brighter than yours in that photo. But when you hooked it to test it (you posted a video of this) it looked the same brightness as mine. ???? Maybe the photo light quality is not good. ?
