Default Changing Dash lights?

I was wondering how I would go about changing the dash light color from the stock green in my 2000 SLT

Once you get to the LEDs, you can swap them for other colors or add gel caps on top of those there to change the color.

Is this an easy process or no?

IIRC, there are some screws that hold the dash housing in place. You have to find them and remove the cowling(?). Then the bulbs are accessable. You can then change uot for LEDs or gel caps like Indy said.

You can also use new instrument cluster face gauges and they look great as well.

There are a number of places like ebay and others. Please be aware that there are 2 different styles.

1. The orange indicator (for transmission gearing) on the lower right had side in the 1998-2000 with the manual orange indicator in the instrument cluster;
2. The electric version which is in the newer versions of the Durango 2000-2003.


Google "durango cluster face"

I saw this thread and was wondering where you can get the LED's. Can you find these at auto parts stores or would I need to get them online, and what ones do you get?
