Looking into changing my dash instrument cluster and climate control lighting with something with color. Can't find anything, or i should say I gave up looking, for a 2012 Big Horn. Suggestions?

6.4 swapped
The led's are soldered to the circuit boards & technically not serviceable. Doing the swap will require de soldering, figuring out the positive & negative of the circuit boards, & carefully soldering in without getting sloppy. I've taken apart a window switch & rotary shifter so far, they are very small (about 3-5mm including the base). I'm in the middle of figuring out what sizes are needed for all switches for a full red swap.

I had some success just tinting the button itself with red Lamin-X from the underside.
