changing dash light colors
I'll be perfectly honest here, I am OCD I had to replace my in car CD player now it is blue, so i got to change the lights in the dash of my 2002 GT. I've read it is just changing the LED bulbs, well how many are there? I want to change allinside lights to blue.

Between 10 and 20, buy a chilton and haynes. You will use it more than this one time I promise, you'll need it to remove you instrument bezel anyway trust me. And even if you do replace the bulbs the plastic gauge face is still the green color. So they will still look almost the exact same.

RE: changing dash light colors
you can just get some new gauges from speedhut.com that are backlit blue. or caribbeancustomdesigns.com. i know i hate the teal gauges on my 2000. my alpine HU has the amber or green backlighting. the green matches the 01 and up green, and the amber is too orange to match the "red" from the gauge needles so i'm just waiting until i find a GT cluster to have the 150 MPH speedo and then i will get new gauges and AC panel.
you could just get the LEDs for the lower TC and rear defrost buttons.

exxxxxxxxcept the rest of the interior doesn't match the gauges 
. cheap-*** ford. and if i had an S197, i would just buy a Pioneer or Eclipse DD navi unit and keep my gauges green to match it.

RE: changing dash light colors
hmm...not sure. i believe the normal glow ones are illuminated with the stock bulbs behind the cluster. and then i believe the reverse glow oens are backlit and powered by a 12v source.
