You will need:
Steering Wheel (volume,seek,mode)
1206 (x3) LEDs

1) Pull the horn fuse. or else you'll get annoyed of all the honks while working the steering wheel.


2) Use a flat head to pull out the covers... use the exact location shown in the pics because that is where the release tab is located. it is the side closest to the steering wheel

Left side

3) Use a torx screw or a hex wrench located inside the opening



Right side

4) Pull the steering wheel cover


5) Use a philips screwdriver to unscrew the screw and pull apart the control
There is a ziptie holding the connector. You will need to cut it.




6) Turn over and uncrew four screws with a small philips screwdriver


7) Pull the black cover to expose the electronics board. Unscrew one more screw and pull out the electronics board.



You can see the ugly green LEDs


New LEDs... all 50 of them... hahaha


Size of LED compared to a penny

8) I was stumped on how I was going to pull out the LED... If you get a knife an stick it in between the Led and push, the LED will pop right out.



It'll keep the prongs that fit snuggly with the grooves on the new LED's shown above with the penny

9) Solder the new LED's and use reverse steps to put everything back together
