Lights Under The Floor Shifter

Hey, im looking into getting the red interior lights in my GTA changed to blue, you know, like the AC/HEAT controls and the lights under the automatic floor shifter, the ones that light up the R,N,D and so forth, how do I do without ripping my interior apart?

Remove the 6 screws that hold the shifter plate into place, turn it over and look.

3 screws

Those are some tiny lights, but if you find some diff colored ones lemmie know
They aint red either, the shift selector and HVAC have a orangish tint so no matter the color it will look redish
I tried to replace the one under the gear select with a green one to match my interior and it still looked orange

Oh that's right. I had a brain fart and was thinking about the Camaro's shift plate.

alright, so where are those screws at and what about the power window buttons on the trim surrounding the shifter?

Will it pull the button wires or will they be effected by me moving the trim thier put into?

You all know what the iinside of a GTA looks like, with the digital guages, how all the lights for the floor shifter, radio and AC/Heat controls are reddish looking, that's because the plastic has reddish tent right?

Also, How do I take off the trim around the ac controls so I can replace the light behind it? One of mine has went out and its really annoying.

look at it and figure it out jesus christ. My girlfreind could figure this out before you could. Youve already been told and ur still asking. There are VISABLE screws...this shouldnt take much thinking...

Next ull be asking what size bulbs...

Dont be afraid to "tackle" this yourself, just a little common sence and you should be able to go from there.
