Hi everyone, just got my TR '98 CSVT yesterday and haven't disassembled anything yet, but was wondering if changing out all of the green lights (gauge lights, button lights, etc) to another color like red is an easy mod for this car? I'm sure the gauge lights just use a common 1157 or similar bulb and I just have to find some that are red or have red caps on the bulbs, but are the power window/lock buttons and other dash lights as easy? I couldn't find anything on the forum here about that, nor doing a Google search. Thanks!

Just so you know the bulbs are white. There is a green filter in the gauges. There are threads on this subject. Ill see if I can't find them.
 
The lights on the cluster and hvac are white. Red bulbs will give you a maroonish color. The window and locks are LEDs. 3mm ones IIRC. Those take some soldering and switch disassembly.
