Little light blue LED
If you don't have the sunroof, it's not quite that simple. You need to get under the headliner.

The other blue available from RS is 276-311, 5MM Blue LED, 5 volt, 30ma, 300mcd. I tried this one first and found it to be too dim. Nice mood light but not much light on the controls.
I believe the part number you are looking for is 276-316, 5MM Blue LED, 3.7 volt, 20ma, 2600mcd.

Thanks everyone for the response, I'm going to go buy the 276-316 tomrrow. Who can give good instructions on how to remove the light from the headliner. I have NO sunroof or On-Star just the light.
Thanks ahead of time

Since you don't have a sunroof you have to accesss the bulb from the top of the headliner, which involves removing a pillars and visors, and pulling GENTLY down on the headliner. You have to be very carefull as the foam board behind the headliner will break. Just pull it down far enough to get your hand back there. The wire harness is glued to the top of the headliner board also, and I had to remove it to access the bulb. Once you get your hand back there you will feel a stiff wire, just feel for the tip and pull it back towards the front of the car, and the bulb pops right out. You will have to trim the new bulbs wires, just trim to match the legnth of the old bulb. Make sure you put the new bulb in the right way. If it's backwards it won't work, and could pop. Good luck and just be carefull. It's not a tough job, but you have to take your time. Hope it helps.
