Default Change light colors

Hey, how is everybody. Yes, this is my firstpost and I have searched the forums for this.

I saw the posts on the LED mods, and I want to do that. I have plans to put in LED's in the cup holders, little storage places, stuff like that.

What I also want to do, is to change the color of the instrument panel and on the power window switches. I want to do it all blue. Is there any way to do what I want?

Thanks!

sounds pretty cool, nut at the same time sounds like a PIA for such a small, and to most people not noriceable thing to do. to change out all of your switches, drill holes in the cup holders and anywhere else, excluding your instrument panel....i dont think its worth it..all the wiring, switches and anything else....forget it. sounds cool but its too much work for something that most people wont even notice unless you point it out

The instrument panel you can replace. Plenty of places sell them.

yeah, buy an aftermarket dash panel, as frogger said, they are common. If your patient you can add little leds to the storage, cup holders etc. just make sure they are shielded from your eyes, you just want to see the glow, not the led. You will go nuts at night, trust me. it kills your eyes.

As for your switches, imo. A huge pain in the ***. But hey, if you wanna spend the time, you would probably be the only one to have it

Cool, thanks for all of your help. I'll look into putting in a new instrument panel, but I'm headed to Iraq again for a year and will probably do that when I get back. I think I'll try to start the other LED's today. I may try to put one behind the speaker grills too, but will hold off on the switches.

Just to be clear, there is no way to replace the bulbs in the instrument panel?

Before the '08 arrived I considered changing over the instrument panel lights, I wasn't sure I'd like the green all that much. Problem is, Dodge did a great job of coordinating all the dash panel lights. Instrument panel, CD player, overhead console and heat/AC displays are all exactly the same shade of green, giving the dash a really nice unified look. I don't think I'd want to change one without changing all, and that seems like a lot of hassle. Besides I find myself growing fonder of the green.
