Cobra 29 Backlit slide switches

[wcsd106]

I've been seeing a few Cobra 29's float around ebay that have had LEDs installed to backlight the slide switches.

Here is a link to a youtube video showing one that has been done this way:


Has anyone done this mod themselves? I'm wondering about LED size and placement.

I actually did this a few years ago to an old uniden pc68xl for my daughter. I wired them to the power for the meter light.

I used 5 pre-wired 3mm 12v leds. I hot glued each one above the switches, but in between them if that makes sense.

Here is a very crude drawing of how they were placed.
