How-To: LED Power Window Switch Mod 99-02 GMT800.

Damn nice post man

I would like to do this to all the lights to match my stereo

 

Does anyone know if you can do this to the headlight switch. I have seen HVAC, Cluster and now the door panel.

 

 

The headlight switch is very simple. All you have to do is swap out a bulb, like in the instrument cluster. I actually converted the bulb on mine to accept an LED and resistor, but you can buy an LED bulb to replace it though.

Cool thanks man.

By changing over to LED, are you still able to dim them using the dimmer, or it just simply on or off?

Yes, you can dim them just as you would have before, at least in my 96 and I don't see why it would be any different

Just so you know, the dash dimmer control does NOT dim the door switch light. It only dims everything on the dash and center console. Even with the factory bulbs its like that. So the door switches are not dimmable at all, but I can still dim my cluster, headlight switch and the AC control panel and I did those all in blue LED's as well.

Anyone done this mod on a 2004 sierra crew cab? Does it work the same?

You'll have to solder the cluster, but that's basicly the only difference.

What type (ohm) of risistors and bulbs y'all using?

Did you look closely at the first picture in the OP?

Can anyone help me out with the wiring for the passenger door? I need the pins to solder to for the leds.... Anyone??

I use 470 ohm resistors on a 20ma 5mm LED. Flat top LEDs seem to disperse the light better.
