DIY Blue Interior Lights

First off, yes I know there've been multiple posts on this - I've already done a search. However, my efforts have yielded only one picture, and no really clear instructions on how to do this. So, if anyone has done this - I know you're out there - please lemme know.

Mostly I just need to know how to take off the various cover pieces, the blue gel replacements and such aren't a problem, I can get those easily. But ANY advice is always appreciated. Thanks in advance!

ok, to be more specific - I already changed the lights in the AC controls so they're blue, but basically I just need to know if there's a way to take off the mirror controls, and/or the Cruise conrol buttons? Or do I just start yanking shˇt out and hope for the best? : )

The rest I can figure out, just replace those little puke-green lenses with my new blue hotness ..

Thanks!

Right on, hey Thanks Drew

I was actually looking at it thinking "hmm .. I wonder what that ONE screw is holding on, I bet that's the answer." You've just confirmed my suspicions.

Alright, my interior (dash, A/C, cruise, mirror, etc..) lights are, for the most part, changed to blue - I kinda think I'm gonna replace some of the LED's with blue ones before too long though, and I'll let ya know how that turns out ..

In the meantime, a round of [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] for everyone who helped!

P.S. There's still one more light that I need to change, and that would be the power window "Auto" - how would I go about popping that cover off, or do I just pry it up? Thanks again guys!

Alright I'll give that a shot

No, I'm not gonna sodder anything - I'm not that technically inclined. Instead, I'm just getting some of those interior LED's and mount them where the current stock whitey-orangey bulbs are. They're dirt cheap on eBay, heh heh. I'll figure out the wiring part later ..

And you're lucky you got that beer. A week ago, I would have still been too young to buy you that beer. Ahhh .. to finally be legal, it feels soo good ...
