LED power window switch mod 99-02 GM fullsize

You'll see some clear plastic light diffusers surrounding the stock bulbs, these will have to be removed. If you leave these in place ans just swap an LED in place of the stock bulb, it will look like crap. For even light coverage on every switch, I hot glued an led into each switch.
Scotty, what do you mean by "Look like crap"? Do you mean it'll be dimmer, similar to what it looks like stock?
I ask because I'd be okay with it being whiter light but still only about as bright as it was stock.

No, that's not a banana in my pants.

I'm sorry I didnt see this sooner Tobias. By "looking like crap" I mean that it will be VERY dim across 90% of the switches and VERY bright in the one spot that the LED is in. LED's fire straight up kinda like a spotlight. The stock bulbs emit light 360 degreez all around therefore sending more light to the diffuser. To get the look I wanted, I ended up having to put an LED on each rocker switch. The rear door switches though are a direct swap. The stock bulb is directly under the switch, so the LED in the same spot fires directly up at the switch. I think this would be an awesome mod with white LED's
