Can anyone tell me how to pull apart and find and replace the defroster bulb in an 02 neon and replace it with a LED..

also I have motorised headlamps and the switch is located right next to the defroster, I want to replace that as well...

and what type of LED is required

thanx

how do yu get motorizeed headlamps on a Neon?...are they hide-away like a corvette?...in your pic it looks like every other Neon's lights I've seen...

..and the light on my defroster switch is already an LED...or is it different on the 00-02 models?...or are you talking about changing the color?

I'd definitely like to see some of those motorized headlights as well.

adjustable headlight leveling, from inside the car. It's a standard feature on BUX neons. I assume it helps if you go from flatland city area's, out into the hilly countryside.

It helps when your trunk is full...

You can use every 3mm LED plus the right resistor. (for blue LEDs 480 Ohm)
Don't use too bride LEDs.

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you use too bright leds?
