Gear Light in RS

[BoOdOg]

I was just wondering if anyone has changed the light (not really sure what it would be called) right next to your shifter, says what gear your in? I am wondering if the bulb itself could have a green cover or a green tint to it. I am asking cause I would like to change mine over to a blue to match rest of interior and the new HVAC that I have ordered.

If anyone has done this, could you tell me the bulb size and also if this was hard. I would say not as if the light goes out it would have to be replaced anyhow. Also a picture would be great.

I've changed mine out as part of my red/black interior in my RS. The bulb I used was a 194R which is the red one. To change it, you need to remove the rear console, then the front console cover. After that remove the shift cover and change the blub. It shouldn't take to long. I changed it while I had the stuff off to paint.

They are talking about the automatic shifter where it lights up and says if you are in P N D and so on.

sorry I didn't know what to really call it, but like mx3TT it is the P R N D 1 2

I checked at the auto store.... spend a lot of time there lately. They had 194 (White), 194R (Red) and 194B (Blue). I didn't see green or any other colors, but you could either get a cap to cover the bulb or use a green sharpie. I did one blub red and it's still working great.
