Default LED installation in stock stereo

Can anyone help me, I'm looking for someone who does the installation of the LED's in stock stereos. I need to convert mine to the blue LED to match my car interior.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God Bless Our Troops and the U.S.,

I was kind of looking for someone to do it for me. I was going to get (LS1_SS) Nathan to do them do he has not been on the site for sometime now. If you know of anyone doing this PLEASE let me know. I would hate to try it myself afraid of trashing the radio.
Thanks for the info and God Bless Our Troops and the U.S.,

Ditto! When dealing with the cable on my HVAC Control (changing from cold to hot) being worn out, I guess when I bumped the Monsoon Unit- a few bulbs blew. Now I can only see part of my radio at night. Plus the HVAC bulbs died. Never had the shifter bulbs. I need to overhaul. I have a soldering iron, but have never dealt with electronic soldering. Just arts and crafts. Do you need a specific type of solder? How do I know which end of resistor to solder to? Where can you buy resistors? I just purchased replacement HVAC bulbs from superbrightleds so I am in process at least! Now to get my radio lit up again.

Anybody know the bulb for Steering wheel controls. I had a steering wheel from a wrecked car I got a spare set out of, but they didn't light up either. So I can mess up a pair replacing bulbs if I need to.

Thanks in advance?
