I really want to do this, wheres the best place to get Led's?

Seen then on Ebad but unsure if they are correct. i want to make the inside of my mk3 look like the inside of my mk5, lights wise if you know what i mean.

you need 12v leds. In the window switches you have limited space. I got my 12v leds from rs componants but they was the red leds. The heater controls have loads of space behind but you can get this plastic piece that fits behind the heater dial control. Think the website is noman.pl or norman.pl its about £20.

Mine wasn't tinted just a green led which was soldered in to the board bit likebthevheated rear screen switch. Got my LEDs off eBay, brought per wired as they have all the resistors attached already to convert them to 12v

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20-x-Pre-wired-3mm-Bright-Red-LEDs-Prewired-12V-LED-/280790960482?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item4160720962#ht_1054wt_922

This is who I brought from, 3mm is best but you can use 5mm. When they come you will need to remove the wire a just use the led and resistor, this way saves you soldering the resistors on. If your doing the heaters you need the wires on.
