Buy a 73/74 blue LED bulb without harness, take the change dispense off in center console, unbolt the two 7mm bolts all the way, pop the console out, twist turn the factory bulb out, exchange with new LED and reinstall

hmm sounds interesting, anyone have pics of this done? sounds like its just simply replacing a bulb, if that the case can we do the same thing for those little orange lights in the firebird doorpanels? the really little ones that almost never work in any f body? just curious, brynnda, is it typical for alot of girls in nevada to drive cars like that or are u an exception? lol and no i dont mean that in a rude ******** kind of way i am just wondering, it seems that most girls around here wouldnt know a firebird from a camaro if they had both camaro and firebird in front of them, and i see u got an LT4 head/intake set up and alot of other pretty involved mods. Do u do your own work? heres another, whats the best quarter u got with the car? lol last one, do u have one b4 and after the stall?........sorry i hope that wasnt too much of a personal question.......

Engrish? I'm pretty sure you blew a fuse. Check your fuse panels. There's one at the left side of the dash, and there's a fuse panel under the hood. I'm not sure where the fuse is for the interior lights, but it's in one of those

If you want the red selector to be blue you have cover it with blue tape or paint. I did mine in green. If you don't everything will light up blue and the selector will still be red.
