I didn't have the tuner in the 80, just the Duramax.
The antenna up and down was a bit lethargic no matter what I did so that had to be corrected. Cut down and soldered a 3 SMD LED into the little bugger and it matches the others perfectly. I tried adding a 1 SMD LED to it like the other buttons but it just looked terrible. The way the button is made the light has to reflect left and right into a little pocket to illuminate the face and an LED pointed down just doesn't cut it. It is hard to take pics at night...the color is more blue in reality but the same brightness.
Before and after:
What reverse lights did you install?
Just a quick Q on this -
Any hints at getting access to the instrument cluster shift light ?
Does the center white section just pull out from the back of the instrument cluster ?
I didn't pull too hard as the plastic is pretty brittle after 13 years.
Wait a second, does the Antenna switch actually light up in stock form
I don't remember seeign it light up and from the pic of the switch itself pulled out, I don't see any space for bulbs
BTW, you're INSANE!!![]()
I am going to run the fog light bulbs for reverse lights. LED technology isn't quite there yet.QUOTE]
I use headlight bulbs in my reverse lights, fitted a relay to take the load off the reverse light switch though.
Works fine in my Disco so should be OK in a LC

Just threw these in the doors....yup they fit and yes they are brighter. Pattern is good but different as the top LED is close to the lens and isn't as dispersed.
