Edxmon should chime in about the cigarette lighter bulb... I believe his is red. I never knew the damn thing even had a light to be honest, mine never worked.

If you pull the cluster out, you can simply replace the bulbs with different color ones. For the HVAC lights, I believe there is a how-to on that one... anyone?

I've been out for a while... emoji

There is a how to for the ONE Hvac light, thats all there are..lol you will need to remove the center vents and the A/C switch to get to it.

The cigarette lighter bulb is accessed from behind the console. you can either remove the top of the console to get to it or remove the driverside side panel and reach in.

The gauge cluster you can just remove the cluster itself and the bulbs twist our from the backside.

Its realyl not the difficult, just be careful.

Have you summoned me Saikou? emoji hehehe, right on the spot Sai, I did my interior in red LEDs, and went just a BIT farther by changing the ring color around the ignition key. It's a nice detail let me fish the old thread up for you:

Well since the ring is amber (it IS amber right?) red light will still shine light through it, i just changed the incandecent #74 to a red LED #74, and voila!

Also check, maybe its just the bottom of the ring that has an amber coating, so maybe you can sand it off? Aside from making another or buying the generic ones they sell at Vatozone idk how you could make it shine while light.

Yeah I changed the cigarette lighter ring blue by adding a blue led plus the greenish blue ring from an aftermarket cigarette lighter found at napa.

Changing the light is quite easy. Move your seats all the way forward. Then you will see that there is a screw on each side of the console toward the rear. Take them out, and then remove the bezel around your radio. Pull the cupholder and ashtray out. You will see 2 screws. Undo them and then lift the console up. Then you can just pull out the light and replace them. reassemble and then you have a new light. By the way, what's the point of having the light anyway?
