Changing color of interior lighting?

I was thinking about trying to change the color of my interior lighting from the standard orange/amber color to a blue color. Can someone give me some info on what is the easiest/cheapest way to do this. Can I just change the bulbs out? Does anyone sell "kits" with all of the different bulbs I will need?

Thanks!

Here's a write-up of how to do it. Pictures seem to have been removed, but you can still figure it out, pretty detailed instructions.. I think there's another one, I'll look around for it.

Thanks!......but I'm not sure I want to mess with pulling all of the gauges apart just yet. Sounds like a pain in the butt. I'm just looking at the other "cabin lights".....the ones that light up the floor...and top of the car on the inside.

Look in the interior/exterior threads to find bulb #'s, and you can pretty much get anything you need here:

Just remember your actual dimensions so you don't buy led's that are physically too big for where you want to put them.
