This wont proivde you any direct help... but there is a guy on here that changed out both the TCS and the Fog light switches and added another one and changed the colors on all of them...

its pretty simple just find the + and - and put and led in there.. Just make sure you have the right size resistor. I have them in my fog and trac lights

I would go with a 3mm led and a 1k ohm resistor or above, you dont want them really bright.. Radioshack should have everything you would need.. You would have to solder everything in too..
