Default where is a tutorial on replacing the dash lights

I think I have seen this on here before but cant find it throught the search. I thought I have seen complete replacements of all the internal lights (dash, doors,etc). I would like to change all the lights out with maybe blue or some other..... was there some sort of write up on this here? Or am I dreaming.....

There is a lot of good information in these links.

SpdKilz is a member here, this is his website. He has a good step by step on changing to LED's. This was written at a time that drop-in replacement LED's were available for the door switches and HUD/DIC buttons.

This one is very long. It goes through a lot of detail and theory on changing from incandescent to LED lights.

Oh you're gonna have some fun with this one. If you're going to swap out ALL your interior lights for LEDs count on spending about $150-200 dependon on where you buy.

It's a really fun project and the good news is (aside from the HVAC) it doesn't take that long.
