This is the light I'm referring to. It turns on with the headlights to illuminate the center console/cup holder area.

This light is a little dim for me, and I also wanted to change it to red, so I decided to take it apart. After disassembling it, I found that the light source is actually a 3528 SMD LED soldered onto the circuit board:

I don't have any red 3528 SMDs lying around, and I'm not sure if my soldering skills are up to par, so I'm going to postpone this project.

I created this thread so that others who are also interested will have more information before diving into this project. If you do decide to change this LED, I'd love to see pictures of your finished product. Happy modding!

I JUST asked about this to everyone because I don't know which cars came with red and which with blues. Did you ever do it? Mines red and I want blue.

Is there any models that are blue that DON'T have a sunroof? My roof panel is just the LED light and that's it, but its red, I want blue.
