*PICS* Blue LED interior and dash light conversion

Well I haven't been on here much due to being slammed at work, but this is what I've been up to on the truck lately. I have been wanting to lose the lame green dash and interior lighting for some time now. So I finally got to changing all the green lighting out and installed all blue LEDs. The cruise control switches were especially "fun". It was definitely a project that tried my patience but I think the payoff was pretty cool. It looks great at night! Here's a few pics of the project.

That is BADA**! On a scale of 1-10, what would you rank the difficulty at??

Where are you located?? How long did it take you to do??

It took me the better part of a month to change it over but I would only do one or two switches at a time. If I had to add up total labor involved I'd say around 8-10 hrs,, but I'm not an electronics guru. If you're really good with circuit boards and soldering you could do it faster. A big part of the project was just figuring out how to get the switches apart without breaking them with my monkey paws,,,
