Default Dash Lights
Does anyone know anything about the lighting in the dash?
I would like my lights to be red rather then the orange color, any suggestions?

You can replace the bulbs with red LED's.

If I'm correct, the 06 GK lights are LED and soldered into the circuit board. Can't swap them out.

Anything can be swapped out, it's just a matter of difficulty level.

Just wanted to add that when you swap standard incandescent bulbs for LEDs, 9 times out of 10, you will end up with uneven lighting. It requires modification to do a proper swap and end up with factory looking results.
