Howdy, rather new to working on cars just got a manual 2002 mustang over the summer and one of the bulbs went out in my dash cluster so I wanna replace it but instead of the green light I want red, where would I get that stuff to change it, also wanna switch to LED

This Forum and others get lots of posts from people who have changed to LED lights on vehicles that did not come with them and have had electrical problems . You might not want to do that .

Why are there so many negative replies when someone wants to “customize” their vehicle? GM engineers think that the AM radio with one speaker is all you need in your 66 Impala, so never yank it out and install a newer system?! Tommy, yes you can change the backlights in your dash to LED in whateve…

One of our cars is red lights on the dash.

No no I just wanted to change the color of the covers like the radio numbers, the gauges, and the ac controls, not the signals or anything
