Here some pics of how to change your light-bulbs to blue LED's:
The original light, like you take it out of your dashboard:

Take the glass part out:

A LED and a resistor:

Adjust length, because space is something you don't have:

Weld the resistor to the LED:

Again adjust length:

Then you can weld this little piece of art into the "foot". Be carefull not to make contact between + and - ;-)

The LED's I used, were from a local electronics-store, the resistors where delivered together, when I told they were used for 13.9 VOLTS
RESULT:

Little recommendation:
LED's have a bad ray of light for this use: the ray is too narrow...
That's why you have to take a little piece of sanding paper (p160) and "damage" the LED like this:

Now the light-ray is diffused, and perfect for use in a dashboard ;-)
