as above, do they have a back light(illuminated) wen the ignition is turned on??

if so, is it possible to change the bulbs for nice blue leds??

correct me if im wrong also, but the original vauxhall window switch is located on the tweeter cover on the "passenger side"(plastic cover bit above handle) and is a single switch??

and on the lower plastic door panel on "drivers side" double switch??

cheers

it should do cause all your doing is replacing the switch, so wherever the old switch went the new one will go.

doubt u should have problems with the switch

A 3mm led will fit in the window switch if you want to change the colour, but it will need to be soldered in place.
