This is probably the trickiest one cuz its the hardest to change the color. Remove the tray at the top of the center counsel. There should be a screw beneath that. The rest of the dash just unclips. Remove the wiring harnesses for the AC, passenger airbag light, etc. There are four screws holding the AC unit in place. I think they were torx screws. Remove unit. This part was the part that took the longest for me. I had the HARDEST time prying this thing apart for some reason. Its held together by clips on the sides. Just keep prying until it comes apart as it may be on TIGHT! Once apart, you should see the circuit board and on the other half, a clear plastic light diffusor. The easiest lights to change out will be the 6 LEDs surrounded by the grey rubber (pic #4). The rubber just pulls off from the front. Follow same steps as in http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/...-cargo-switch-gear-selector-54738/#post813811 for desoldering and soldering new LEDs. The rubber can be reattached. I just put the rubber legs (you'll see what i mean when you have it off) through the holes and and pulled them with a plier. The top 3 lights are the hardest to do (pic #5). You can either pull out the bulbs and try to solder in some LEDs in there place but this will require resistors to keep them from blowing. Or you can buy some colored film and just stick it to the clear plastic on the other half of the unit. That works if your changing to red cuz the light is already orange but if your doing blue, youll just have to swap the bulbs. Test, reassemble.
