Hi, i was just wondering if anyone know how to change the LED lights on the dashboard, really would love to have green LED's as that would be the matching lights for my interior and color of my car (green/black)

First, tilt your steering wheel all the way up. There's a little panel behind your steering wheel where your ignition and dimmer switch are. Take that off (there are finger holes on the bottom, so just carefully pop it off. Be sure to unplug the connector for the dimmer switch). Now you need to remove the gauge cluster cowl. Tilt your steering wheel all the way down now. There are two bolts immediately behind what you just removed, and two more holding the plastic cowl to the dash cowl. Remove all of them. Then there's gonna be 4 more bolts to actually remove the gauge cluster from the dash. Two on the bottom and two on the top. Once you remove those, gingerly remove the gauge cluster (it takes some creative angles) while unplugging the cables from behind it. Then, you can remove the main three bulbs for the gauge (they're the biggest ones, you won't be confused). Then just replace those with 194 LEDs. Some LEDs are have a polarity, so they have to be pushed in a specific way (you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right the first time, so just install all of them, push the cables back in, and test it out and reverse any of the bulbs that appear dim). Then just re-attach everything and you're good to go!
