I highly recommend painting the centre console also.
Although thats a really unnecessary amount of masking done in the pix above. From memory the switch just pops out, there are two screws securing the PRND lights and the little led windows can be popped out with a flat screw driver.

There's pix in this thread and more info, I just used White Night paint and 3 years later it's still looking great.

The torch is a nice touch, Steve:-) I've been trying to get a small fire extinguisher for that spot- my wife can get them overseas but she was too scared to take one on the plane in case she was caught with it and they cracked up about it. I have a collection of LED torches- one lives in the Soarer's centre console, but I think too big for that spot (yours lacks the flared head). Neat!

Couple of new things Ive done including retrofitting of ect switch, converted the window switches to new blue LED's got some new 6 LED wedge bulbs for the doors (the single LED bulbs were just not bright enough against the interior dome white 6 LED bulb for my liking haha). I have also painted the shifter surround. And it looks SOOOOOOO much better! I was a bit hesitant about doing it at 1st but i highly recommend it! Check it out.

ignition barrel?

very very easy man, just pull the clip around the barrel off, then undo the screw and remove the globe and replace with an LED.
