Tired of dim/burnt out bulbs in your interior switches? step inside

So I've been replacing my interior lighting over to all LED and my biggest gripe was the horribly lit switches on the dashboard. If anyone has attempted this they would know it's not a simple plug and play for the light bulbs. But the end result is definitely worth it.

As you can (barely) see in the before picture, the lighting is so dim that my camera can barely pick up the lighting on the switch even at the most optimal setting.

And now for after the bulbs have been replaced with LEDs

The camera on my phone doesn't do it justice with the ambient low lighting, but I'm sure you guys get the idea. If anyone is interested in doing the same, I'll glady follow up with a tutorial.
