Which do i need to have up so i dont have the parts fall out

It will come out no matter what you do, but it will be easier if you split the switch open and actualy lift the housing up off of the buttons. Have the buttons facing up and the backside facing down. Do it over a baking pan so when the parts fall out, you don't lose them. Its a little slider thing that is gonna fall out. The rocker switch moves that slider side to side to select which mirror to control.

And if you are in no rush, I actually have one here that I'm doing an LED conversion on this weekend. I can take pics if you want. Probly won't be till Sunday till I have a chance to mess with it though.

Easy to put back together?

 

[junior3815]

no rush at all!

Easy to put back together?

Yeah, very easy. But then again, I say that its very easy for me. Different people have different skill sets. The hardest part is getting that little slider lined up and then you just pop the switch back together.

It is actually not bad to do at all. Like Scotty said there is just that one little piece but its pretty easy to figure out how it fits. If you are good at puzzles it should be easy.

On a side note... question for Scotty, how did you fit the LED and a resistor in that little bugger of a space where the bulb was in the mirror switch?

Very carefully.





I had to snip a little bit of the plastic out of the actual "switch" part that sits over the bulb, to have enough clearance/room for the LED and resistor. Also had to cut a hole in that blue rubber thing that sits in there. It took some creativity to figure it out.

Yeah I did something like that too but now the switch only works half of the time. I have an extra so I've got one more shot... You think when you do the one this weekend you could post up a pic of how you did it?
