you really should right a walk through on how you did some of those. like the lighter and the button next to it and which filter you used for the message center.

Should be all in my thread....last page

Message center is kinda dark during the day time, I may have to go with a lighter blue. Headlight switch, lighter, defrost button are T10-8 smd's in modified housings to fit in what ever spot I used them in. Soldering iron works wonders with led's.
I getting ready to take everything apart again to make some adjustments so if you need different pic's then I have posted let me know and I'll get some up!

Dash lights (T10's) are but T4's or T5's need adjustments! At least mine did in my 94.

My first Mark, a '96 base, didn't have one either. Neither did my '97. I wonder if the '93 to '95 were the only ones that had them?

What did it look like before you installed it? The strip I mean.

Pretty much like this:



I don't have it wired into the interior lights yet. It still has a controller box in the console with 2 AA batteries in it. So if I want to turn it on I have to use the control box. I just cut it to fit and used some super glue to fasten it to the inside of the bezel and ran the wires to the inside of the console for the control box.

They are simple you pull the bulb out of the slot and install the t5 bulbs for all instrument cluster bulbs other then the gear selector lights. Those are a smaller bulbs.
Here is what mine looks like now, waiting on the bulbs for my gear selection bulbs:
