Change the little map light bulb?

I have been searching all morning and I know I read it somewhere, for the SS's and I am guessing the base's have that little tiny circle light next to the sun roof button.



the little circle there in the center next to the sun roof buttons

Can that light be changed, and does anyone have a quick how to? Is it easy?

Yup, we changed ours to an orange one. Just give the cover a yank and it will pop out a little.

I do believe if you were to change it you would have to pop that off, and remove it.

Are you thinking an LED color change is in order?

You can get replacement LED's at Radio Shack, and you have a wide range of colors to choose from, they run about $1.99.

Yeah when I paint the few interior pieces but I figure why not make it even more blue. Just want to make sure it is simple and not something I will end up breaking.

I say you do pink, purple, and blue LED's to match the BFM on the outside!
