Cheers chum...
Should have used the search
Must send you that few quid for the badge.
Though thinking about replacing them all (heaters, windows, CD player, dash)with white SMDs. Not a fan of the orange.
No probs Paddy just pm the details in my message when you want someCheers chum...

My 2003 2.4 exec has orange coloured for most buttons and a white display for temp/radio at the top of dash.
If all the orange were white it would match up nicely.

The bulbs for the switches in the main are filaments which can just be swapped over for an LED alternative. (T1 leds probably with an inline resistor of resistance 'X')
The bulbs that are on the head unit / climate control are surface mounted SMDs. (which will require desoldering and resoldering with the required colour change.)
I am going to do it next week when my exams are over so I will take a few photos to give folk an idea of what the procedure entails.
In the mean time would people be so kind as to point me in the directing of a guide to strip the center console and the doors. I could figure it out but would shorten the time taken!!
Also how is the dash clocks removed?

From looking at one of the posts by another member it may seem that the colour is from a filter and not the bulb itself.
It makes me think it may be near impossible to change the colour of the switches as the filter is in bedded in the switch itself.

i've managed to take it out very hard and indeed the lights were burn.. but in the same time you should check the bulb contacts but 90% is a worn bulb...
