Interior / Under hood color

[Theessence]

I just put in a blue air filter with blue couplers. I'd like to replace all of the tubes under the hood (or at least the largest ones) with blue tubes but I don't know what all of the tubes are for so I don't know how to search for them. I'd also like to change out all of the plasticy rigid wire insulator things with blue ones but don't know what those are called either.

I'm also going to get a new head unit and it's going to be blue. I'd love to change all of the LED's in the dash, power lock lights, and all of the other stock red ones with blue ones. I don't know where to start here, or if I need special lights for each part or how to get to any of the stock lights :-p.

I have plenty of time on the weekends and LED's aren't expensive so I'd love to start getting to work on this. Can you guys give me any idea on how I'd go about this like where to get LED's, if replacing them is hard, am I going to get in over my head, etc... I might just have to try to get into the instrument panel and see how much stuff I can take apart until I get down to the LED's but I really don't wanna go in blind.

Thanks

Most of the plastic loom is sold at parts stores for around $12-15 for a bag'o'loom. They sell two different bags, one has larger loom the other smaller loom. I've seen red, blue, yellow, white.

The interior lighting is a bit tricky to change, I had thought about this myself. The door locks/window buttons are lit up with a tiny bulbs with an Orange silicone boot over them.
I had tried finding some liquid silicone in blue but didnt find any.....

I know LEDs will work... except you'll need to install resistors in the power feed wire close to the button that you want to change.
Then the LED will fit (with a little work) into the factory bulb socket, I had one laying around here I'll see if I can find that. YOu just have to know which side of the LED is positive+ and it has to goto the positive contact in the button switch(s).
Yeah its a lot of work to do in one day, but can be done here and there.

Plus it will lower the battery drain we get a night, like when you brake- lights dimm

In the Appearance/Non performance sub forum thier are disassembly procedures for the interior, might check that out and see how things go together.
Thier are also pics of the window/lock buttons
