That had me worried for a while. Edited 19/09/05 10:28 AM by ColinT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue paint is a good idea and easy to do Just gotta keep an eye on them cos those little LEDs can create a bit of heat so the colour may fade over time.

And also the switches are not set up to have illumination from standard.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
