Changing the blue/green color of the dash lights in 2017 GMC Sierra

[Mouwzer]

Hey Guys,

 

I've done some searching and mostly have only found comments about this but couldn't stumble across anyone actually doing it.

 

Has anyone successfully changed the blueish/greenish backlights in dash/radio back to red or even a different color?

 

I currently have an All Terrain 2014 with the red lights and I'm about to pickup a new 2017 All Terrain X and I'm kinda shocked at how disappointed I am with the blueish/greenish, even more so with red stitching in the seats and on the steering wheel.

 

So much to the point where it's making me consider just keeping my 14 haha.

 

Anyway, I appreciate and help or insight in advance.

 

Cheers!

The red looks horrible though. I'd much rather switch if possible.

I'm on the other side of this one; I have a 2015 Sierra and would rather have the "Chevy" bluegreen colored dash light trim.

hey Mouwser

 

check my build thread. i think the changing of interior lights starts on the second page.

 

there are lots of "how to" pics with getting things taken apart

when i changed my lights over i used a blue plastic 'gel' to cover the white LEDs to make them blue.

 

i'm toying with pulling everything out again and actually changing the LEDs to blue... mostly just to get some 'truck therapy' time

We can reprogram everything back to the other scheme IE the IPC and radio etc.

Sorry for the grave dig but has there been a walk through for this one a 2017 or similar interior set up? I have the blue and want to go red.

I currently looking at doing the same thing. I saw a post (with no pics) on how to remove the faceplates and blue tics and recover with transparent film.

Just go up to @bc-chris post above and click on his link. I believe that is what you want...

Thanks! However, I must be doing it wrong. Every time I clink the link it keeps bringing me back to this thread! ‍

I just tried that link and same like you, went back to this thread. Try this instead
