| Follow the steps in the Climate Control Install Guide [Here] to remove the climate control circuit board.

The blue circles indicate the stock LED's that we will be
removing.

To
remove the stock LED's put your soldering iron on on of
the LED leads on the back side of the board (opposite
side from the LED lens.) (Red Arrow.) While doing so,
pull the lens of the LED in the direction that the blue
arrow is pointing. The lead will start to come out of
the board. DO NOT FORCE the lead out,
when the solder is soft, is should slide easily. You will
not be able to get it all the way out yet, but that is
okay. Allow the solder joint to cool slightly (enough
for the solder to harden.) Next do the same thing with
the other lead, and pull the LED in the opposite direction.
Let this side cool and start the next side again. You
will basically "walk" the LED out of the circuit
board. Repeat this process until all of the LED's are
removed.


Now
it will be hard to get the new LED's into the same holes
because there is some solder in the hole. Use some de-soldering
braid and put it over one of the holes. Hold the soldering
iron on top of the braid. Hold it there for a short while,
and you will see the braid "soaking" up the
solder. Be careful because the braid will get hot. Keep
using the braid until the holes are cleaned of any solder.

Next
just put the LED's in so the positive LED lead is on the side indicated by the picture below. If the LED
lead does not go into the hole DO NOT FORCE IT,
use the solder braid to clean out the solder a little
more until the LED just slips in.

Put some solder on the back side of the board on the
LED leads connecting them to the circuit board, and cut
off the extra leads from the LED.
