Default Changing to LEDs

I am going to buy the plug and play 74 style blue LEDs for my HVAC and door handle lights. I plan on doing this myself.

I, however, do not even have the tools and/or time or knowledge to solder and swap out the ones needed for the fog light switch and the headlight switch area.

So, I was wondering, is there any company (sponsor?) that would do this for me (aka I send them the fog light switch and headlight switch assembly and they swap out the LED's - charging me the parts and "install" - and then shipping them back to me?

I do not see a problem sending these two parts out, as I (we) have the automatic headlight feature on our cars, so if I decide to drive the car at night the headlights will still automatically turn on, I am assuming.

Anyways, is there anyone that does this kind of work?

Your not really doing it yourself then. And a solderer is only like 15 bucks.

I replaced my door handle lights with plug-N-play LED's that have the same base as the 74 bulb. Took me all of 5 min to replace both lamps. I haven't touched my dash with LEDs yet and don't see a need to unless I was looking to change the color. Everything else on the car besides the headlights and foglights are LED's.

Yeah, I plan on changing the color to blue, to match the color of my car and my head unit/stereo.


Also, are the LED's for the HVAC the same as the door handles? Hoe many LEDs go ni the HVAC?
