The shiftgate just never shows up good in pics....The only hotspot is on the temperature selection knob, on the very bottom right.
I have yet to get around to the other buttons.
And I am using neither pnp or ledautomotive kit, I am just taking some 5mm leds and doing it myself.

I cant get the defrosters to show up blue, because the inside of the button is yellow, so thats what shows through....Any ideas?

I don't believe theres anything you can do about that. correct me if Im wrong but when I got mine done I had no choice. I just did the AC part all white and the defrost shines a brighter yellow and looks good.

edit: also for the hotspots try putting a piece of tissue paper underneath the template to reduce the hotspot
