Interior lighting questions
I went through a couple pages in different sections and couldn't find what I'm looking for, and couldn't find it while looking through Google either. So here it goes, and if it is posted somewhere let me know and I'll delete that question.
First, trying to find out how to get into the instrument panel to change the light bulb to a blue LED.
Secondly the radio console lights all work except the clock, is that a separate bulb and how do I get into the radio to change those lights to a blue LED and to replace the clock bulb?
Thirdly is there a site that lists the bulb numbers for the above components?
Wish it was easier to find on my own, maybe I just don't know how to use Google effectively. Thank you very much for any insight!

Search on Harofreak00 and blue, that should net you Haro'* work on it. Ends up most of the red comes from a film on everyething and clear bulbs light it up.
On the radio...pull it out, then unhook the tabs that hold the face on.. The bulb will be behind the clock area.

Thanks for the reply. I know on the radio console the little red "securitytheft" light is on, so if I go and pull the radio out and switch bulbs is that theft feature going to disable the radio or anything?
Any insight on the best way to remove the plastic trim around the console without breaking it? I'll go see if there are any screws around, but I've heard horror stories, though I'm more worried about getting to the instrument panel bulbs.

Just an update, I got the trim off safely and the radio out, however it looks like I need to remove the circuit board to get to the clock bulb, but it'* fastened with really small 6 sided hex bolts. Does anybody know where I can get a small nut driver/hex tool? Somebody said it looks like 1.5-2 mm but I can't confirm that and Napa or Autozone doesn't appear to carry anything like that, unless the employees are just lazy over the phone.
