You can change them to what ever colour you can buy the LED's in. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. You need to get about 15 3mm LED's in the colour of your chosing and maybe 5 610ohm resistors to do the headlight switch and all the power window switches. Next on my list is to do the power door lock switches.

Ah, y'see the power door lock switches on the '05's don't light up at all (at least mine don't seem to do more than emit a sick green glow that's just about invisible...)

'course the fact that the cruise switches on the steering wheel are dark as pitch at night is a major PITA, but nothings gonna change that I fear...

I was reading about this earlier today. The door lock button has the LEDs in there already, but they aren't wired. Go figure.

There is a post on Focus Fanatics about how ti wire them up and get them working. Basically a couple of screwdrivers, a soldering iron, and a couple of feet worth of wire. I am going to do it tomorrow.

heres the link:

There is link in there with some pictures/etc.. and a couple of pages further, this is important for us (05+):

Ok well i just got mine installed. At least on the 2005, the passenger side is different from the drivers side. You have to connect the (+) to the solid green wire and the (-) to the black wire.

I always thought threre was a LED in there. The plastic (white) is a bit different than the rest.

It looked transparent.

I guess the EURO Focus' lit up.

Another neat little thing N.A. got left out of. :(

I tried to do it today, but the wiring is very different in the power locks. I have a sedan too, so more wires in there.. None of the wire colors matched up at all.

I went through all the combinations of wires with a multimeter, but couldn't track down which wires were for the lights. I even checked the wires for the window locks, and they were always hot, so those aren't helpful.

I will pop the panel off and take some photos af where the wires go. I used a test light to probe the window switches to find the power source. I should be able to have some pic's by Friday I think.

The door lock harness dose not have any wiring for the lights, not even any female terminals for the wires to hook into. You have to do some work to make it light up. I had the switch apart to find which terminal was the positive and negitive.
