Thread: LED Window Switches

so first off you'll need some window switches from a 02-06 altima (coudl also be maxima to i just stubbled across these one day at the junker)



you can see ours on the left (non transparent switch and the right transparent switch



take yer switch out



unscrew the 3 aroudn the whote cap



pop the top off the white cap, firstly take the window lock button off carefuly otherwise it won't release from the bottom portion of the unit





pop your switches off



now get your altima switch out, and gently shave the plastic nubs down on the back and middle pieces, this is so you can still go up and down without the switch sticking, trial and error just don't shave off alot at first



drill holes in the base front of each switch area



fit for leds



wire your leds up, i wried all 3 up in series to the master auto button light that is already attached to the board



so now the lights will all come on when you turn the lights on to your car
for the pass and back seat lights i wired them to a power source (cig lighter) so they are always on but you could do that and put a switch somewhere so you can turn them on off on your own
pass & back switch



now my leds were freakin' bright so i used 2 1.5k ohm resistors on the wires (this is what i had in the house), depends what you want to for brightness)
put it all back together









i also just replaced all the bulbs in the hvac with leds

was the auto functional on all windows?

man yer on all the boards!

just for everybody else.
no, its only set to the one top left one as it has the device to do, sorry if all those auto buttons in confused any one just tried to see how much light escaped through them as well as the full transparent switches, but i know of the altima pass it had a auto and the drivers top right had it to but the boards and units were very different and wouldn't have even fit into our units

gotcha ya
ya just enough if you use a small gauge wire, i did shave some of the plastic bits in there so it could, its tight though

i like it.... good job.

very nice write up.

thinking about going back to stock, of course i would need your switches in exchange
if anybody is interested in buying these let me know
thanks
