You want to tear things apart just to replace the little green LED?
I've never done it but, from the looks of things, unless you have a
compelling reason to replace it, I would leave it alone.

ouch, I was simply "thinking the opposite way", that is, I just need to
change a simple LED and it should be very stupid to take apart those pieces
of plastic, so why should a live with this faulty thing?

I could be wrong but I don't think you're going to be able to remove
the LED w/o taking everything apart.

Are you saying I must remove the wheels? What do you mean by "everything"?
It is under the plastic cover of the steering wheel so there couldn't be so
many pieces, being the airbag the most problematic.

The problem, like any other modern plastic assemly like phones, tvs,
radios... is being able to "open the box" without damaging too much the
covers, and you can only guess how the retaining mechanisms are done after
you see inside only.

I've never done it. By everything, I'm refering to the same thng you
are (i.e. opening the "box" that holds the cruise control buttons).
Also, I'm thinking that you'll be unable to replace any LED w/o
replacing the entire switch.

Are you saying "impossible"?? Mmmmm this starts to sound challenging to
me...

I wouldn't think impossible. I was just suggesting that it may be more
trouble than benefit. Unless, of course, it's your hobby. If so,
enjoy!

 Have you checked the dimming feature is working. On my 96, when the lights
are switched on, the LED goes to about 1/2 brightness. i.e., if I turn on
the headlights during the day, the LED is usually not bright enough to see.
At night it is fine, and during the day, if the lights are switched off, it
is OK, unless the sun is shining through the drivers window.

Do LED's actually get 'dimmer' with age??? Maybe the LED lens has some
'goop' on it. Have you tried cleaning it with a toothpick and some tissue?
