Default 4x4 ****

I want to change the color to blue to match all my other blue lights in my truck. So what I want to know is there a light bulb on the 4x4 switch I could change out to a blue one? or is there an after market switch I can buy from somewhere that is a different color?

I can think of two thigs:
1. you can try to solder in a blue LED bulb in place of the existing bulb, you just gotta make sure + and - are lined up properly.

2. spray paint the exisiting bulb with high temperature spray paint.
