Yes those are the indiglo group buy ones... ah I understand - LED's use the existing equipment and just add lights behind... Does that company do any indiglo at all? it seems that would be easier for the HVAC...

so for the LED's you need to take an HVAC front panel apart to see how it is lit from behind?

yeah thats right. For example, with the dash cluster, he will take the old "faceplate" off, put on a custom one that allows LED's to light through, install the LED's, ship it back for us to re-install, and then done.

And he'd do the same for the HVAC panel. So I need a front/back shot of the panel so he can see what he is working with... if it's too hard I can ask him about Indiglo.

If you have slider controls, yes (if it looks like mine in the pic) but I suspect you have the push button kind all along the top so it is not the same. I found a black overlay on ebay.de for push button controls...
