Default LED help

Has anybody replaced the bulb in the floor shifter gear indicator with an LED bulb? Can you tell me what bulb I would need for this? I'm starting the journey of changing all of my interior lights to blue LED's and figured this would be the easiest place to start. Thanks in advance for your input!

So the LED bug bit you too! I've changed all mine out as well and my cargo, reverse lights and puddle lamps. I love them! I haven't changed that bulb in mine to LED, curious how it looks though.

Yes it has, and I'm infected, LOL! I'm stopping at Autozone tomorrow to see if they have the LED I need for it. And, I just scored an FX gauge face, the bezel lens, and the clear plastic lens off Ebay.... no cluster, just the face. Now I'll have one that I can take my time with and remove the green film from the back. I also plan on painting the bezel lens black and the round trim rings silver. Then I'll either replace the stock bulbs with blue LED's or I'll place a blue film over the back of the gauge face and use white led's. Mod, mod, mod......I figured it would slow down after time but man was I wrong!

My wife only knows what she sees if she gets home before I do and there's a package waiting for me, LOL! I hope I'm home before her when my flares arrive!!!

I've done the LED modding to an extent. Not quite to the cluster and shifter. But I did everything else that had the yellow halogen glow. I'd be interested in seeing how the shifter change goes. Been thinking a different color would look pretty awesome. Pictures would be nice of during and after!
