Default Change color of monsoon LED's
I just bought a Trans-am monsoon for my Camaro and it does not match the rest of the interior. Is it possible to somehow change the LED's from orange to white?

prob. Dunno on the monsoon, but most radios color is controled by little caps over bulbs. open it up and remove the caps & you'll have clear bulbs.

They are colored bulbs behind the stereo. I would suggest replacing them with red LED's.

most likely if you are replacing LEDs you'd have to melt the solder to get the old ones off, and solder the new ones in their place...
