Now that sounds like a plan! "Electrical crap" is my arch nemesis, we'll have to plan something this summer once I figure out the design.

push button ignition is up and running! the switch i bought was kinda crappy and the relay blew out after 1 start.. the leds in the switch went out too.... had to hotwire the vx to get to the store for a new relay.. would have been really bad if i got pulled over since ignition wires were just twisted together and ignition column was exposed
anyway it works well now and is good fun
anyone looking to do it in an 01 the ig wire is black/red and the st wire is black/white
Sweet mods!!!
time for another update!
dash lights are done now too
white LEDs behind the gauge cluster, gives a very very clean look
blue LEDs throughout the rest of the dash

Looks Great!...:thumbup:
Eric,
Looks great. Ya gotta get a new overlay for the guage cluster tho. All that orange hasta be changed over to 'lectric blue.
Tom
Mighty fine.
DADGUMMIT etl! I've been debating this little "mod" for some time, and now that I see it done I want to do it even more. Looks like I'm off to buy some LED bulbs.
Looks good :thumbup:, but I'm with T4B; gotta find a way to change the tach and speedo color.
its super easy to do the LED conversion the way i did it
went on autolumination.com and superbrightleds.com
the bulbs you will need
(4) 194 bulbs for behind gauge cluster (blue does not work well, doesnt light up the speedo/tach well, green was OK, white was best for me)
(4) 10mm base Neo wedge bulbs (i would suggest getting two colored glass bulbs and 2 led bulbs, the bulbs that light the airflow positions are inconsistent with LED lighting because of how they are designed
(1) Red 8mm base neo-wedge bulb for hazard warning light
(2) 8mm base neo-wedge bulbs for illumination of "on" indicators for mirror and rear defrosters
(3) 8mm base neo-wedge bulbs for illuminating cruise control, heated mirror and rear defroster symbols
the ones i ordered from superbrightleds.com worked well but were a VERY tight fit, so if you put em in backwards theyre a pain in the rear to get back out to flip
i also got a single 74 bulb to light up the ash tray when pulled out, make sure you get something that a. fits through the hole and b. has side facing LEDs, otherwise it wont light anything
