Just wondering if anyone has figured out the best option for backlighting the climate control, people have modified the base with a new led, people have just bought those neo wedge based led's, and some people have soldered thier own.

Has anyone tried this with a couple different options?

I want a nice looking blue for backlight, i already have blue led's installed for the buttons. How can i accomplish this? im not too worried about light dispersion as long as its semi close to being evenly lit.

Thanks guys.

i know he does them, he uses led's and solders them himself. Like i said ive read for 2 days..... i just wanna know what option might be the best looking or less complicated then others. I know people have tried different routes, maybe some pictures of other people's blue backlight cc and what they used would be better to ask.
