does anyone know if its possible to change the lights on the center console from that crap whitish color to red? im talking about the buttons and stuff for the climate control and head unit. any ideas?

 

you should be able too open it up just dont fry anything and swap out the bulbs try radio shack for the bulbs

 

theres actually a how to on how to do this. i think the guy put different color sleeves over the bulb and didnt actually change the bulb.

later

 

yea that could work also lol

 

i wanna kno if i can make em brighter the camrys is hella bright

 

i can't think of a reason why you would want to do that...
do you want the guy next to you to see if you have your defroster on?

 

its dim for me
i want it to b brighter
but still b able to adjust the
intensity

 

did you try the dimmer switch? maybe its been turned down and you didnt notice it...otherwise i think they are pretty bright, i end up turning mine down at night b/c they are too bright

 

FWIW lots of people have done it in J-bodies.

 

maybe the dimmer fuse blew out

 

Swap parts with a G5. Pontiacs use reddish lighting.

 

this might work. I thought the hvac and radio lights were leds...i work at a dealer and we cant get bulbs when these burn out, must replace the assembly same for instrument clusters

 

i looked through the how to's and couldnt find that thread. could someone link me possibly? thanks

 

PM me if your interested. There is a how to that I wrote but its on how to do the gauges.

I would like my gauges just a hair brighter. could I put LEDs in there? btw i do know how to work a soldering iron lol, or would they simply not work?

 

Black Cat Custom's sells new guages and LED kits for your display.
You can buy just the light kits without the guages.
Now all things being fair you would think the lights in the dash are the same however this is GM and a Cobalt so chances are there not, seeing as they wanted to make madding the damn car as difficult as possible
Heres the link

Scroll down to bottom for pries on just the LED kits.
BTW I think the prices are in Canadian so make sure to double check.
