Default Shifter Light

Does anyone know if it's easy to change the light that lights up the shifter in a 2005 F-150? Also does anyone know the make/size/model of the bulb? is it possible to get different colors ? I attached a picture, Thanks

Yep , less than a 5 min job. Open your center console and pop of the plastic piece around the shifter. Takes a little effort so be carefull but just work it off slow. Then once its off the light bulb is down to the bottom left corner of the shifter itself. Takes small hands to get to it but not to bad

I put an 194 tower LED in for the shifter cause my original was burnt out and LED was all I had laying around...I wouldn't advise it, it's too bright. I prefer a more subtle glow from there, I will be going back to a standard 194.
