Backlit Headlight **** On TA A while back I decided to replace the AC ***** for better grip and that kinda got me thinking about the headlight **** as well. On some other cars the headlight **** is illuminated when the engine is on so you don't have to feel around for the headlight switch at night. I got used to it on another vehicle and wanted something similar for the TA.
Basically, I bought another **** just like the one I used for the AC, cut the shaft down considerably and glued it back on, mounted a small red LED in the ****. Drilled a hole into the **** area of the switch, ran wiring through the hole and then wired it up to ign. using a resistor. It's harder than it sounds, but works great.
Alright, here is the day shot.
Here is the night shot with the lights off but ignition on.
