I think quite a few people have done it. I got mine from Deknick, whose lighting happens to be blue like you were talking about. You could try Timywong too.


Floor lights are white but you can't even make it out in this picture

I wanted to do the same too. Does the T3 bulb work for the cluster, climate control, radio and shifter?

I can't answer the question because Deknick put the kit together and sent it to me, but he could answer if you pm him or if he chimes in

When you pull the cluster out and unhook the connectors, you can see what screws hold the circuit boards together and you just undo the screws that need to come off. Go slow and just take your time looking at it but you should be able to tell just by looking. And there's 2 strap-looking things at the top you'll see, you just pull up on the white tab that runs around it and they unhook
