window switch globes

[VDUBD]

anyone changed em? i got it off the car, and poped the front buttons off but dont see a way to remove the globes. do i go in thru the back of the switch?

also the light switch globes, got 1 off but the 2 green ones are well in there...

if you've got the switch out, then look on the sides of it, if you use a small screw driver you should be able to GENTLY open the gaps at the side to let the inner clips separate from the surrounding plastic and the inside of the switch should slide out the back of the part of the switch that actually has the buttons on it.

that probably didnt make any sense...try it anyway.

sorry if that didnt help at all
but once you've got it unplugged you should be able to separate it once more so you can see the globes

Ditto - to match my headliner.

I was told they are little LED-like bulbs that are soldered in place, so you have to chop 'em off and get 12v replacements and solder them on or something.

yea i got them all apart and i found the globes, they are well on there, same as the light switch, i ordered a kit off ebay to do with changing the lights and comes with detailed instructions (apparently) but ill let yous know once it is all done and if there is an easier way to do it.

i wanted to do this for ages, i found some website about a year and a half ago that sells a really awesome looking dash panel and a kit for like 12 bucks to change all your interior switch globes to red instead of that icky green we have.

i think the company was DPP or PPD of something but i havent been able to find it since i really liked it.

yeah let us know how you go man!
