needed: interior LED converting..

i desperately need to find info on how to convert every lighted button on the dash to a blue glow. ive seen it done before, just not on the 2001+ civics. matter of fact now i cant find anything, everything is a broken link or fails to load! im totally lost and i desperately need this done!!

from what i remember you need some sort of blue latex bulb sleeves but there is no info on where to get them or anything. lets shed some light on this shal we?

for those of you who are alittle slow, heres what i want....

now a lot of leds already come a certain color, so the color-condoms are uneeded

www.autodynamic.com sells lots of bulbs and has lots of colors, and from what I can remember...they do have blue

there are no 12V leds. you will need to hook them up in series with a resistor

simple:
To my understanding, series just means that the whole circuitry is sharing. If u have a 1 volt LED, you'll need 12 to get the circuitry properly working. You will have to connect it all up together in a sort of "circle" (series). I'll draw you a picture when I get home. I'm at work right now. Unless somebody else has an already made schematic....
