Custom Fog Light Switch LED Conversion (KY)

Custom Fog Light Switch LED Conversion (KY)
Just wanted to check interest for those of you who'd like modded Fog Light switches with LED's.
My old process required the LED's/wires to be permanently soldered to the contacts, BUT my new process allows me to use the OEM bulb holder.
I just shipped a couple to Police Interceptor & he seems pretty happy with his.
I have a few OEM Fog Switch bulb holders that I can mod to hold a RED, YELLOW, WHITE, BLUE or GREEN LED.
NOTE: All the colors EXCEPT Yellow look awesome. The yellow LED's don't seem to have as much output as the others, even though they have the same mcd rating. The yellow looks ok at night, but it's hardly visible in the daytime.
Here's a pic of my current radio bezel with 3 of my modded fog switches:
MY OLD LED MOD:
In most cases, there is only a slight modification needed to the fog switch bracket behind the bezel. Sometimes, a little of the locating tracks of the bracket need to be trimmed for clearance of the wires. Nothing major, a wood chisel, small wire cutters, etc. can be used to trim the plastic.
No need to make a permanent mod to your fog switch, you can even change the bulb holder if you get tired of the color. These will work just like the OEM bulb holders/bulbs... half turn to install or remove.
My mods to the bulb holder ARE permanent, I solder the connections in place to keep them from coming apart.
I didn't get good pics of the modded bulb holders I just shipped, but I hope to have a couple more modded this week.
This is ONLY for the OEM bulb holder modded with a LED (your choice of colors). OEM Fog light switch not included.
Pricing: $8.00 for each bulb holder FREE SHIPPING (US only, I'll need a few bucks to ship elsewhere)
Buy a few & I'll try to cut you a better deal.

I can also mod 4x4 switches & headlight switches with LEDs, but I currently don't have any extra bulb holders for those.
Pricing: $8.00 for each modded bulb holder (as of now, you'll need to send your bulb holders for me to mod). FREE SHIPPING (US only, I'll need a couple bucks to ship elsewhere)
4X4 SWITCH MODDED:
I may use the inverted cone LED shown OR I may use a regular rounded LED, it depends on what I have in stock at the time.
The OEM bulb holder will work just as normal, 1/2 twist to install or remove. There WILL be at least 1 wire coming out the back of the switch, but there's plenty of room behind the headlight or 4x4 switch.

Turnaround should be pretty quick & they'll ship out USPS 1st Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation included. Insurance is optional.
Every modded bulb holder will be tested with my extra switches.
PayPal is good for me.

In the next 2 days I will be doing LED's to my switches, the thing is, for one resistor I need 3 LED's
So if they don't fit, I will get some from you

Do you have any of the fog light switch - bulb holders now?? I'd like to buy a pre-modded one in blue if possible. I'd like to see a picture of how you mod it too just to see how it'll fit. I know it's a tight fit in that switch as far as space is concerned..
P.S. Don't forget to let me know when you recieve that radio bezel..

ALSO NOTE:
My OLD fog switch mod WAS permanent.
My NEW fog switch mod IS simple & easy to install or remove at any time.
It will take longer to remove your bezel & the mounting bracket than it does to switch bulb holders.... should take a novice about 15 minutes (10 minutes of that to find your tools)

From doing some reading on here is there two bulbs in the foglight switch? One for the icon and one for the little dash mark above it?? One being internal and not screwed in??

Yes,
There's a green LED that indicates when the switch is turned on, that'll stay the same.
My LED mod is for the "dash lights" indicator... when you turn the headlight switch to parking lamps or headlights, the light for the little fog light emblem on the switch will light up -in your case blue-.
For the 1/2 twist in bulb holders.
I've seen the little "ON" indicator modded with a LED, but it requires dis-assembly of the switch, kind of a "pain in the butt" mod.
If you want, I'll send along another blue LED & resistor (or whatever color you want) if you want mod the "ON" indicator.

UPDATE
Working on a couple more fog switch bulb holders in BLUE, but I don't want to mod all my extras in just one color.
I'm sure somebody wants to be different with a GREEN or RED fog switch.

Only have a couple fog switch bulb holders left to mod.
When these are gone, you'll need to send your old ones in for me to mod unless I run across some more.

Looking for Head Light Sw, Fog Sw and Maybe Cruise Control Sw’s, all in bright RED LEDs, they need to be as bright as the pic in the above post.
E-Mail: nnf000@gmail.com
Let me know how much, or maybe what you would trade ?
I have extra switches and bulb holders, Sw Holders and Power Outlets but no triple holders.
Very interested, no time lately.

UPDATE: PICS
Finally got around to getting some detailed pics of my upgraded mods.
There's a couple of the fog switch bracket that attaches to the back side of the bezel & where it may need to be trimmed for clearance.
NEW & IMPROVED Fog switch mod:
Some close-ups of my modded bulb ***'y:
Fog switch mounting bracket (behind bezel):
Headlight switch LED mod (4x4 switch is basically the same):
Close-ups of my improved bulb holder mod:
That's all for now.

Free bump for ya man..

I've only got a couple more fog switch bulb holders left, but I have a couple people looking for more of all the bulb holders for me so I can have a few made up, ready to ship out.
Anyone interested can still send me their bulb holders & I can mod them & ship 'em back to ya.
