Question Have you changed your AC Control Lights?

Has anyone changed the color of their AC controls?

Seriously . . . none of you have been in there yet?

If you try it please take some ‘pics and write a DIY

BTW, if you’ve got a setup similar to ours beware the white box (seen in above photo). It has a knob on the other side with ball bearings that will shoot out in all directions if provoked.


Skeeter, no offense intended to you -- you’re fleet is totally killer and I’ve got nothing but respect for your mad skills.

Re: Have you changed your AC Control Lights?

Thanks for the warning. Do you think they just pull off or do I need to remove the silver trim piece around them? I know we have diff rides but just thought I would ask for your .02. Sorry for the stock pic I am not near my car to take a decent one.

I would say the odds are good you'll have to get that trim off.

Honestly I haven’t spent any real time in a 08.
(Well at least not in a 08 that had an interior )
So I haven’t a clue how they work.

Did you find my DIY for the classics? It should at least give you a starting point. I haven’t look to see if there are any 08 DIYs that involve removing the center trim; you might want to look for that. Also the “other site” tends to have a more complete tech section.
