Changing interior switch colors

[5.0 POWER]

Well my unlock switch started to give me problems so...this weekend I decided to start working on changing all of the old green switches to a more suitable color for my red x..... red = ). So far so good. i am ordering more led's online. I will try to get picture up when i can figure out how to do so, but right now i can't figure out how to change the size. I figured out how to replace all the door switches and now i am figuring out how to change the center console and bezel switchs. I am also ordering a spare gauge cluster to modify with a new printed background and needle color change. Does anyone know where i can by colored rubber pieces that would fit over a small bulb?? Since most of the dash lights have a bluish type sleeve over them already. It would really make this easier to do.

You could try a set of inverted 194 wedge bulbs for the gauge cluster. You can get different colored ones. I just ordered a set of white ones since i have a burned out one, might as well change them all to leds.

Here is a set http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/10x-...009QQitemZ190199023758QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

There are lots of threads about this in the performance lighting section, I've replaced every light up front (windows, unlock, 4x4, defrost, rear wiper, headlight, outside code pad) with blue LED's. Some take more work than others but most are pretty easy.

Here is a dash light replacement thread with lots of good links (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=194673)

Here is a keypad change thread (http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=193400)

I really like that keypad color change. That is really cool. Has anyone tried to change the COVER of the light that is on the doors. I was looking at this and thinking abour just cutting out a piece of plexi and frosting it, then siliconing it in. Any one tried to get rid of this??

i did all mine about 2 months ago. i would say in total, it took me about 6 hours to do everything (dash, and locks). for the door locks, i took apart the switch, and gutted it, then i drilled the holes out to fit a 5mm l.e.d. . also, i love this page, he covers basicaly everything. hope this helps
