dfalk Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Has anyone ever changed the interior lights of their car? Im talking about the lights for the window switch, power mirrors, heat/ac controls etc. I like the red but would much rather have blue? I searched a little on here and didnt find much. Once I get my Haynes manual i think im going to give it a shot.
SpawnGT Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Nobody has becuase those lights are some numerous and randomly spread.
SpawnGT Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 More so of a...nobody hass done it becuase its way too much work, and money could be spend better in other places...Exhaust system components, Accessport, Tires, Rims...intercoolers...So on and so forth.
dfalk Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Well im thinking I might try it out. And it cant cost that much money maybe $10 in LEDs. Ill take a look when I tear my car apart to install the stereo/speakers.
Googalash Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 dfalk: If you pull i off I would be interested to know what it took. I too have though about changing the lights for a custom color but haven't really looked into it.

Mr. Ed Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 man ...blue info center.....blah.... kim's jetta gives me a headache everytime i drive it at night
EquinnoxX Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I switched the lights in my window and dash switches in my older vw (from green to red LEDs). Maybe it was a sign that I was destined for a subaru in the future lol It was pretty easy depending on how good you are at soldering. I really don't know how these bulbs/switches are setup but would be curious to see pix if you attempted it!
idontknow Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 vw= interior blue lights http://www.lukelehman.com/GLIMPSE/gauges.jpg Reminds me of my Toyota mini-van interior!
legacy2.5GT05 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 ^ or a mazda MVP. lmao. I feel like blue lights would be distracting. The red is perfect. I had green in my explorer and that wasn't bad but I like the red much better.

I really don't know how these bulbs/switches are setup but would be curious to see pix if you attempted it! My soldering skills are excellent (im an electronic technician) so that wont be a problem. Anyways im going to attempt this. Im gonna tear the dash apart and see what im working with, then order some bulbs/leds. These next 2 weekends im busy, then I want to install my HID kit first. After that ill try, but ill be sure to keep you guys updated.
