Search the web...I used to have a link to a site that sold LED's already installed in the common sockets for most cluster applications (I used to have an 84 Volkswagon Camper; they sold LEDs for it!).

This site also sold just the LED's themselves, and you could install them into your existing cluster bulb holders yourself, although in some cases, it's a big PITA to do.

Google "automotive LED's"....

Default interior lights color swap

I've just changed out all my LED's in my truck, headlight switch, a/c controls, door switchs, power pedal switch, gauges, shifter, even the passenger air bag light, all to the blue. the factory radio is next. they look great. I'm looking at doing it for a hobby, trying to figure out how to make it work. I was going to get a whole set done, then sell it for $ + the buyers switchs. I got a quote in town from a shop to do the swap for me, but they want 85+ per hour, and that's even if they can't fix it. I bought the LED's and took about 3 hrs to do my A/C cause you have to test each LED after you put them in cause they work together (sorta like x-mas lights) email me for pics of my project. 2008 FX4 5.4 1400 MILES AND ALREADY TAKEN IT APART!!!!!

Default LED swaps

I'm looking into the price to do the swap. I'd need order @55 LED's (that's a few extra just in case)
The labor is the hard part... it took over 2 1/2 hours to do just the A/C panel cause after each LED is done it has to be tested, cause if it dosen't work, the next one wont either( like x-mas lights) so going back and forth takes a lil time. The plus side to that is you know everything works before it's installed for the final time, and it would be tested using my new truck.
a/c panel = 2-3 hrs
single door switches x5 = 2 hrs (window /lock)
driver door switch x1 = 2 hrs (window)
headlight switch x1 = 2 hrs
4x4 switch x1 = 1 hrs
@ 10 hrs worth the work give or take......250.00 plus parts( @30.00 )and return shipping (don't know what that would be@ 20.00 should cover it) so I'd say 300.00 should cover everything. hit me back or call me. 757 735-3770
