Default How do I change the light behind the speedometer ?

Anyone know how to change the light behind the speedometer? I want to change it to a blue color. I can't seem to figure out how to remove the entire dash or part of it, because I assume you have to to change it. I can only find one screw on the dash, in the center to the right of the speedometer. Anyone know how?

that whole piece of trim pops off the screw is not a screw at all but a push-in plastic snap, just carefully take a screwdriver and pry on the piece of trim it will pop off.
But, as far as i know the light is some kind of led i couldnt acctually find it and dont know if it can acctually be changed. I think it may be attached to the printed circuit board. Although maybe you can find the light source and put some kind of blue translucent cover over it. The lights for the A/C stuff on the dash are tiny bulbs with yellow covers over them, it may be pretty easy to change those though.

so all i have to do is pull out the screw and the rest will just pop off when i pull on it? I also noticed that the back of the speedometer is another piece of the dash. will I end up pulling off the front?


Thanks,


Eddy
