Ok the dash it self, heater controls ect do not have condoms. the bulbs that light up the controls are white! theres 3 all the dials and indicators have those lenses over them. once you remove the lenses the dash will light up white, and don't forget the knobs. they to have lenses on them. now you can pain the bulb which won't last long or put the blue sleeves over them. as for the AC/defrost/recirulate switches those have lenses over the buttons to and a LED for the indicator. you must remove the lenses and put sleeves or color those bulbs. The LED indicators can b replaced with Radio Shack Blue or any other color LED I did not test current on the led my best guess would be 2-3 volts but to be safe add a 880 ohm reststor to the posistive side of the led if it don't light up remove the resistor. now as for the Sunroof, Mirror, cruise, fog and window switch these all have sleeves remove the sleeve and replace with blue sleeve or color to taste. I will post pics tonight with the dash lights on. E- mail me with questions or post them here.
um.... ya know, ya could just get some color filters that they use on lights for theater... i work at a studio and we used "gels" to change the color of the lights... im just gonna snag some from there

dayam! dat looks totally cool... condoms? hehehe where'd u get the sleeves? or that thing that you bought to make the bulb change color. i wanna make mine blue! all blue! hehehe
It is easy to do the sunroof, cruise, mirror switches take about 10 minsthe dash takes about 30 mins the comdoms are the trick tho very hard to find not impossable and cheap. I was going to package them and sell themto all you guys on the board but I will tell you all where to get them. avter all making a profit off friends is wrong. So go to any stereo shop and ask if they have a old Ford radio from a Madza or a Probe remove the face and tons of little condoms. and extra bulbs.
