I know the insert comes apart from behind the clear plastic as Ive done it before. I might have one kicking around the house already out and see if it can be switched over in colours

Re: heater contor panel color swap

The funniest part about this is all you need to do is use paint... GM painted the backs of the panels over the text and labeling according to the car model (Chevy blue, Pontiac red/orange, Buick/Olds green). I'll dig mine out when I get out of work... I painted mine a while ago but forgot how .
