How To: illuminate switches for windows and mirror adjust

Please pay attention before you start that this is not the first time you handle a soldering gun...
The switches are very easy to open with a small screwdriver.
My translation under the pics could be inaccurate, my english is horrible.
Please help me with your comments.
Hope you enjoy my very easy HOW-TO.
You don't have to drill any holes, rewire your harness or such brute force things....
AND: The switches are ready for plug-and-play. You could prepare them and they'll work in every Neon without modifications.
HOW-TO for the door locking switch will follow...

Wouldn't the lock for the door be the same? Or is it a different type of switch?

You might be able to find an LED that will eliminate needing a resistor at all.

Need some help here. I did all the switches no problem. Finished the window switch and when I connect the window/turnsignal fuse blows??? The switch lights up but as soon as I go to put a new fuse it instantly blows!!! I do have the switches that had LEDs and the illumination wires. I soldered the led in and soldered the resistor on the wire. Any ideas?????

My guess is you're going to need a 560ohm resistor.evilneon02 wrote:ok well i installed the 480 ohm and it worked fine for a day. when i left work to go home the drive side switch was already burnt out i dont understand this do i need a bigger resistor???
Here's a calc that might help you.

that's a very impressive writeup.
another option also, is you could use driver window switches for everything so it has the needed pins, then just add that wiring into the door harness (easy to do on driver door, but a little harder on passenger door)
you just have to cut off the plastic locating tab on the switch casing...
