Siliconed T5 bulb covers in "hyper-white"(light blue shade) whiter than rest of backlighting, but blue bulb covers made it dark blue and the backlighting isnt as bright as the rest. Did not want to attempt soldering the original LEDs on there, dont think my hands are steady enough! The LEDs can get bright, but you have to give them more power than the backlight wire. Could be resistors on the circuit board are calibrated for different backlight voltage in newer trucks. Need to button this thing up, so Im done messing with the switch panel.

Short of tapping into your radio, hvac, or vcim connectors...
I recommend using the MBEC.

You will need to wire the main relay power direct from battery of course.
