Maybe get to see it in the flesh tomorrow (so to speak), although depending on the amount of  [smiley=beer.gif] it might look like that anyway!  ;D

So, has anybody spotted the obvious problem with LEDs and the climate panel.......



...they don't light the switches as the light from a LED is emitted at a 30-40Deg angel (and thats a good one!) and the switches require the light to be emitted from the side (i.e. a filament) into a light pipe.

I really like the look they give, specially in that colour. Only problem is they're too bright. If you'd known about that would happen, I guess you could have soldered resistors to each LED before fitting them! Not that you could have forseen these things.
