Here are 2 pics of my LED dash, I didn't use Hondahater's thing he's selling, I made my own and did all the work based on the info iamnotwhoiam has given out so far, thanks BTW.
Close up of the radio area
I don't know why the pics came out so dark, they are considerably brighter in person.
BTW the rear defroster button lights up in red when I turn it on, and the AC is still green, looks better than red I think, not to mention I couldn't find a 3mm LED to fit in there.
Started on the dash, a little harder and a tigher space to work in, but should be worth it in the end. Also looking for LED's in my local Radio Shacks, they're all wiped out. Anyway LMK what you think so far.

Ryan I did them to my car......they aren't as easy as they might seem.
I did mine a few weeks ago so i am going from memory, sorry if somethings aren't 100% clear.
First you need to remove the 2 barrel shaped buttons. Then you need to open them up so that you can see the circuit board inside the barrel. (From what i remember you need to use 2 tiny screwdrivers to seperate locking pin things then pull the inside out of the barrel shell) After that you need to find a way to solder the LED using the connections on the circuit board, and don't forget to use the resistor... That part is very difficult because you need to snake the wire from the LED inside the button so that nothing hits the wires or the LED, then you need to make sure they point the right way. If you know nothing about soldering or don't have the patience to deal with a tiny little thing thats very finicky about positioning, connections etc. then this isn't a job for you.
Good luck...
