    Ya, I am suspecting the angle also. I am going to finish the right switches and do a night comparison to the left side (stock).

    Cool. I've got one of mine that's dimmer than the rest, I'm pretty sure it's all in how aim to light up that little bit of clear plastic.

    A few notes....

    1) Don't use 1W resistors. They are physically to large to work in the small space in the switch.
    2) Don't use 15* LED's. The viewing angle is to narrow and don't illuminate the switch very well.

    Now to go get some more parts.
