How To Change Color Of Rear Defrost Switch Light?
Alright so 88fastgta got me thinking about this. How do you change the color of the rear defrost switch back lighting(this is in an 86 Camaro BTW)? I changed all the other lights in my car to red so it kinda sticks out. When I tried to take out the switch I couldn't find a light bulb, is it buried inside the switch? And if so is it a 194 bulb?
Thanks
Alex

Take the rocker switch cover off and paint the back side of it. I did this also to my radio buttons.

Also red LED lighting in the gauges, the pic shows more orange than what they really are.
