Using a small screwdiver pop the switch out of the head lining.2. Unplug the switch.3. With small screwdrier remove the switch cover and the buttons will come out.4. Desolder the 5 x green 1206 SMD LED's.5. Solder in 5 x new blue 1206 SMD LED's.6. Replace buttons and cover.7. Plug in the wiring.8. Snap back into head lining.I made a slip on tool for the soldering iron to desolder the LED's. LED's are approx 150mcd.Cheers,Scott Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34394-sunroof-control-switch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did it take you the entire process?? Do the 150mcd match the interior brightness??CheersNathan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34394-sunroof-control-switch/#findComment-525284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 150 mcd are about spot on in terms of brightness.The tricky bit is getting the old ones out ... that's why you need to be able to heat both ends of the LED at once. If you have a look at my post in the "Illuminated Window Switch Guide" I give a link to where you can get the LED's.Good luck!Cheers,Scott Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34394-sunroof-control-switch/#findComment-525315 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the XR blue require more forward voltage than the switch uses. This is the same procedure on all Webatso/Holandia Sunroofs I think also.Matt Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34394-sunroof-control-switch/#findComment-525339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 24/04/07 10:30 AM Author Share Posted 24/04/07 10:30 AM Matt,The blue is pretty close and the brightness is about right. They are the same as I used in the window switches. I took the punt that they would be ok in the sunroof switch ... so far so good ... the roof still works.Cheers,Scott Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34394-sunroof-control-switch/#findComment-525514 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell are they green when everything else is blue.Could you do it for a price if I sent my switch across, I'm handly with a soldering iron, but not that handy - take it to PM if you like Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34394-sunroof-control-switch/#findComment-525640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
