2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Dash Lights
Dose anyone know how to change the color of the dash lights in an 02' Ram 1500 or know if it can be done?
I recently installed a Kenwood MP3 player that has the awesome purple'ish/blue and red colors and it clashes with the factory green'ish color.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

WARNING: To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
