All you need to do is undo the two Torx bolts on either side of the back of the steering wheel and the airbag/horn assembly will come right off.

Unplug the harness from the column and the horn and then remove the two phillips screws ont he back of the switch assembly and you can pull the circuit board right out and re-solder the LED. Install is the reverse of removal of course.
Obviously disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before starting this just to make sure you don't set off the airbag.
When I get around to it I'll post a How-to in the DIY section. Maybe tomorrow morning. | Hey GregS where's the DIY? I am sure you are busy just trying to give you a hard time! I just know Dummies like me need pics! and Thanks for All your help!!! | |

15 if you are just doing the dials, digital speedometer and display. If you want to do the indicator lights then you'll need one more for each. | |

Also remember that the leds have a polarity so if you twist one in and it doesn't light try it the other way. DO not forget to test them before you put everything back together. The rest require soldering.
