I finnaly got round to starting the led colour change conversion inside my focus, i started with the clock! Took me 3 hours to change 2 smd led's to red. But am happy i did it, even though i did take ages and lots of messing about with the soldering iron, happy with the result.

Anyway, quick question, with the 3mm leds for the switches etc. Whats better, flat top or rounded? Just wondering if either disperse more light/a more wider range?

Thanks in advance:)

I've done the headlight switch and I used the rounded ones. They seem to work fairly well. :o)

round tops will work better in the lock and window switches.
