Does anyone have the part numbers for the lights that go inside the foglight and cruise control switch? There's two in each one. One with a black base and a clear light, and the other with a gray base and a green cover on the light. I need both. My local Hyundai dealer has ordered them for me 3 times now, and 3 times, it was the wrong light.

Mine seem to be popping left and right, I had 3 go out in about a month period.

Yeah, I did a search and didn't find anything, but I'm new to this forum format, so it could have been my search. I just saw the thread a few down from this one discussing replacing them with LEDs, which I want to do, but I'm not sure about the resistor. I don't wanna hack the switch up, and I don't think there's enough room for me to mount it on the exterior. I think white LEDs to illuminate the switch and blue to indicate on/off would look killer!!

If there is enough room on the exterior, what'd you use to protect the circuit with?

if you look in here:

i have markings for which way to put the leds and where to break the circuit. if you use a 1/4 watt resistor, its actually small enough to fit in that tiny little pocket right inbetween the lines showing where to cut the circuit. you just have to be a wee bit more careful when putting the switches back in that plastic bracket, but they will fit.

Why couldn't you just solder in a resistor on the wire that powers the bulb, before it hits the harness? Cut the wire, solder the resistor inline, heat shrink it, rinse and repeat.

I think I might bust my multi-meter out and do this, once I get some LEDs.

Edit: Nevermind, I see you already mentioned this.

yeah, i just thought it was cleaner making it integrated in the switch. plus i wanted a way where i could do it and then send it back out to people while minimizing the work they have to do. that way would definately work though. the wire you would want to break is the green/white wire.

Is it the same wire for the fogs, cruise and rear defrost? Also, I plan on doing BOTH bulbs. The bulb that illuminates the switch in white, the bulb that indicates on/off in blue. Any idea on what color wire I need for the white LED I plan on using? I'll be able to find out on my own, but any advice would be helpful.

Many thanks!

the illumination wires for every switch are green/white(+) and green/black(-).

for all the activation lights, i would just hit the black ground wires running to the switch. the schematics show they are only there for the activation lights. putting a resistor on the power side would probably mess with other things.

if you want to look through the schematics, check the DIY section stickies. webtech now requires you to register, so i made a universal account that anyone can use.
