The light cover pry's out with a screwdriver or knife.

And it takes the dome light sized bulb....so yes you can change the color if you want.

at a local auto parts store I saw tubes that fit over the bulb to change the color. don't know how well they work. I changed mine to Red with replacement bulbs that fit a little loose in the socket but work fine.

This is what the assembly looks like:

All of the replacements I have seen (dome lights) are smaller than the puddle lights from the factory. Like vf454 said they will fit loose. You can use the tubes but I don't know how much light they will block. I know they weren't the effect I wanted to achieve for my cargo lights. Now, do you want them to be cool or functional you must decide ;D

Those are fun lights to change, just did mine today. Actually...I think I might have uh...umm... overdid the red lights today. Oh well, it's something different.

Really makes a difference and sure is affordable!

Haha ... that is great IM. We have another picture hacker on the board. You should have at least connected it to a power source ;D

To POST the picture you have to upload it to some webspace and refer to it like this using IMG tags in your POST:

Code:

PM me if you need more help.

Sweet! I have some bulbs laying around that should slip right in there! I bought them for the interior of the Blazer, but never got around to putting them in ..... they're HID look alikes or something... some crazy blue color...

:D: I changed every conceivable bulb on my Av., to Hyper-white bulbs; headlights (high/low),turn signals, reverse lights, licence plate bulbs, fog lamps, DRL's, interior doors, floor lamps, map lites, doom lites, cargo lamp and puddle lites. I dropped about $350 on all the bulbs but they gave my Av. a really nice "glow" and gave a few people whiplash when they "double-take" the truck ,at night. It's just a suggetstion for some of you ,who might want to make your truck standout from the rest. >:D

welcome to the board AVonDubz, now have you moded the all headlights on, the DRL -> NRL and the fog lite override? Couldn't resist. ;D

BTW, did you get the ashtray light, rumor has it that it is a bugger to get out.
