Umm i dunno but one thing
why would you want to do that???
are you gonna get super hyper blue lights?
why not just get a blue neon and attach to the ceiling???i think that would be alot better then changeing the bulbs because what if one day you really needed to use that light and all you can see is blue?would be kind of hard to read the map wouldent it?

there are little grooves in the edge of the covers... i used a knife and pried it off SLOWLY the front uses 3 bulbs of the same size as your front parking light bulbs and the back uses one long dome light bulb, remember LONG, i bought a short one, and i had to mod it to fit.

its in the owners manual, and i made all my interior lights blue. the front map light i put in blue bulbs and cut out blue filter paper to fit it and it has a real nice blue, the back dome i took the bulb out and colored it with a blue sharpie marker, and put the filter paper in and it shines awesome!! better than the map light....i love markers [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
