Here is a copy of a PM I had for converting to all blue lights. It takes a bit of time to get the dash apart to acess the lights but cheap to replace. since you have it apart you can convert to LED
Here are the links for the threads I used. If the links dont work for some reason, just do a search on here for "Interior LED mod" by JCGRCYA. thats the exact title of the thread so it should pop up. I read through that whole thing a few times and got most of my questions answered, I think I may have even posted a few in there.

Here is another site with some good info. This guy has a full write up on how to remove the DIC and everything. I used his instructions for getting my car pulled apart, it was a very good how to.

Finally here is the link for digitalcorvettes.com. Again if this one doesnt work, just go over there and do a search for "Blue LED lighting on everything" by Vette1171. again thats the exact title so it should come up for you. Also a lot of good info here, and Vette1171 is the guy who did the led mod to my HVAC for me (send him a PM if your interested in doing that, tell him I sent you). If you get everything done it really looks good, unbelievably so in fact. I get comments all the time on it, and most people think it was from the factory. It looks really subtle, but at night the first thing people notice is that your switches arent the standard green ugly color. I dont have any pics right now but I did the door switches, HUD controls, DIC controls, HVAC, trunk release, and TC/AH switch. I didnt do the radio because I am going with an aftermarket unit anyway (that has blue backlighting!), but it can be done. The switches are all relatively easy and if you get into it I can help you out with that. The TC/AH switch was where I had to get creative, but I came up with an easy solution that I can share with you if you want it.
