Default Blue HVAC lights to match my alpine radio?

Hello all!

I want to change my HVAC lighting to match my blue alpine head unit. I'm just looking for a cheap and easy way to do this, as it's not a big deal to me. The bulbs are mostly burnt out and I needed to replace soon anyway.

Thanks!

Year/Make/Model would help but if 97+ Camaro or 93+ Firebird this will help:

I did hyper white LEDs on the hvac & Blue LEDs in the hvac *****
Bulbs and leds were purchased through amazon a lot cheaper than superbrightleds.com

Thanks for the info guys. My car is 2002 trans am. Does anyone have a picture of the stock camaro hvac lights with an alpine blue radio for color comparison? If it is close, I'll just pick up some hvac controls and lights from a camaro. If not, I'll order some bulbs. Also, does anyone have any pictures of aftermarket bulbs matching an alpine radio?

The red film on your original HVAC is red, which probably won't yield the results you are looking for. I would get a Camaro HVAC if I were you as it has blue film. I have one for sale in this thread:
