check out post 63 i think
i havent done this but you could ask him

 

snap off the center fascia cover.. then on the side you will find the bulb, you'll have to turn it and it snaps off. it looks pretty much like this..

i dont think its necessary to take the whole clear plastic off, but i did, just so it could be easier to replace. got any more questions just PM me..?

 

wow that's cool...great work Chelito

 

thanks man, i thought it was harder but once you start snapping things off.. you'll find it very easy.. soldering the LED was a **ich tho.

 

thank you very much... yours looks awesome by the way

 

Is the green factory backlight a bulb or LED?

 

Wow great job Chelito. I think I may end up changing mine now that I know it isn't too hard.

 

What is the LED or bulb code? I want to make mine blue

 

Actually you don't even need to take that piece off, you can just reach in with the center fascia and stereo pulled out and twist the bulb out. There's more room to work on it this way. And it is a bulb, not a LED, I soldered one in with a resistor though and it looks great!

 

thats pretty sexy lookin. im gonna have to do that as soon as it gets a little warmer here

 

so theres colored bulbs that can go behind that? i want one in red.

 

im not certain but i think any colored bulb has sortof a colored rubber "condom" that goes over the actual bulb IE: i know for sure in automatics the + and - on the shiftronic have those caps. so it is possible to find a red cap and just cover the bulb.

 

but wouldnt that cause the cover to melt?

 

no the bulb isnt hot at all its like a flashlight bulb. it may get a little warm but not warm enough to melt anything.

 

ohword. what type bulb is this again?

 

These are very tiny bulbs ive taken a few out of other vehicles before they are somethin like #74 size. im not for sure if thats what bulb it is i wont know until i see it but those bulbs are used in the shiftronic and in the HVAC so its very possible for it to be used in the ignition ring

 

i guess i wont know until i rip it apart and take a look at it for myself, huh?

 

(site removed) that site has replacement bulbs in all sorts of colors so instead of soldering an LED it can just be replaced

 

http://www.lightlens.com/coloredbulbs.htm that site has replacement bulbs in all sorts of colors so instead of soldering an LED it can just be replaced

The link goes to code when I try to purchase.

 

hmmmm honestly ive never bought from that website so im gonna remove it from my post. im sure there are plenty of other websites out there that sell #74 size bulbs and even ebay has them im sure, sorry about that

 

diodedynamics should start stocking these imo!

 

http://www.diodedynamics.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=51_64 right there. those LED's are great too i used 3 of them in my HVAC, they work alot better than normal LED's

unless you were talking about the actual bulbs instead of LED's which would probably have a better angle of light so there arent any dark spots. that would be cool, i would probably be more apt to get the bulbs instead of the LED

 

there is one led behind the ring.
i changed mine to white.
