    I am currently modifying the side mirrors switch to add LED lights behind each button. Here are some pictures. What you think about this? Still working on the backlight setup but I hope to finish it by next week. Let's see.

    Modified. I made a hole on all areas that can be pressed, and filled with glue (school glue for now :rofl:) that change from white to translucent when it get dry.

    This is how it looks with LED lights behind it. In this picture LEDs are not in the final position and the front end is not in place, so probably that light around each button is not going to be that bright when I finish. Let's see....

    Also I plan to match the exact color and brightness, but still WIP...

    Here is a detailed video about how I completed the modification of all buttons.
