Take a picture of the board front and back, anything you soldered and any and all bulb sockets and leds you replaced.
first of all, what kind of led, and second witch buttons?

Okay sorry I haven't posted the picture am currently away from car.......


And the led that am using are the 5m diode you can buy from eBay ..I had to shave them down to look
The same as the stock ones.... And the button are the indicator the ones that let you choose where to send the air
The only one I didn't replace was the front defogger because its orange and I didn't mind it like that
yeah post a pic, too many results on ebay for that diode

5mm round ones are too big, even when shaved down. You need to also cut the clear plastic pieces that go into each button so it doesn't make contact with the leds. Other wise you'll be crushing them.
Okay so I got home today and decided to double check everything I did and even make sure that the led were getting power and it so happens that I put my led backwards 😣 i know kill me for been so dumb..I flip them all and they all work like it perfectly ..thnx for helping me out guys !!!!!
Again sorry for my rookie mistakes
