How would i go about switching my interior lights (dash lights, radio/control lights, etc..) on my 2006 trailblazer ext to red LEDs. I've see people on here do it but i can't find anyone explain how. I want to know what i need and how to do it before i rip it apart and start dicking around like i would normally do.

I did all mine in blue leds. It was a pain in the ass but totally worth it. Especially since most of my interior lights were burnt out

Done! After hours of troubleshooting I decided to just switch all the LEDs around. And it worked!.. On the Bose radios all the positives on that diagram above are backwards.. What a pain in the ass!!!
