Here are a couple of shots of my blue buttons in my control panel. All buttons are lit with the single LED that Shawn sells with the buttons. I drilled a hole for the LEDs in the bottom of the button the same way Whammoed & Knievel have demonstrated in prior threads.
The first shot more correctly shows how much brighter the light is on the top of the plunger. The second shot mimics more how they look when viewed not directly overhead.

Just out of curiousity, but on the Knievel's cab with the lit buttons, didn't he light them from the side? I probably mis-read your post. Which is providing better results? Obviously, the lit from the side method is more time consuming... Is it not possible with these buttons?
I think that I missed something.

I just had an idea, I am going to try a button lit from side and bottom this weekend :D I don't really want to go through the trouble of two lights on each button in my cab, but I'm interested in seeing what one would look like!
