Climate Control Backlight, Ive read every forum for the past 2 days no concrete answer. Help. Options

[94celigts]

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 soldered in 2 individual LED's with resistors for the backlighting, I'm not happy how it illuminates. It lights up really bright where they are and then the rest is dim...and still green....one day I will do more experimenting but I believe it involves removing filters.

Here is what my setup looks like right now



On a side note I did replace all the LED's on the board itself with white ones and am quite happy with that outcome...just have to figure out the backlighting and I'll be set
