How hard is it to change the interior lights from red to blue. I'm guessing you just take the dash apart and solder in the lights where the old ones are. So sick of the red, blue looks way better.

Actually, the majority of the light that are red had rubber diffuser covers on them. All you have to do is take the switches apart and get blue ones. The problem is that so far, i have been unable to find them. This would be easier then soldering new bulbs in. Hope this helps.

Also, so of the parts, like the knobs, are actually molded in red, so you'd have to get different knobs. I know that there are some GM cars out there that have clear knobs (under the gray coating), that are interchangable.

the one problem your goiong to run into is...with pontiacs, the manufacture decided to coat the back of the gauges and hvac with a red film....so you can get new gauges or do like i did and scrape that stuff off! after that its really easy. i can get pics if you would like to see just let me know!
