While the headlights are now sorted, I moved on to the window lifter switches and the back lights of the center console switches. The interior lights thread on the forum gave me inspiration to sort these out. Some of the window lifters did not work at all and all of the back lights were very dim. I decided to purchase new Meyle window lifter switches instead of replacing the leds in the old ones. Here is a comparison photo old vs new

Back lights of the old window switch was not very good either

So I replaced the lights. It was light outside when I took the photo so the difference is not so obvious

Here they are all pictured in the dark. Window switch is still a bit dim compared to the mirror switches, even if I used a little bit more powerful bulbs than oe. But it will have to do for now.

I also changed all the back lights of the switches in the center console. They are all evenly bright now but it looks a little like the rear window heater is on even though it is not. I will have to work that out in the future to make it flawless. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Again this picture is taken when it is bright outside. Finnish summer is kind of bright even at nightime.

I took much more pictures during the process of changing the led's in these switches and my plan was to make a good write up on this, but as I never got into doing so, I figured I'd post a few pictures and couple of words instead
