Sounds like you have an infection. Mine has always been a pale peach color.


The CD player and stereo have their own internal lights. Not much hope changing that. You may be able to access the bulbs for the AC controls and swap them as well as the gauges. The window switches and such have internal bulbs also.

i will post up pictures and a write up on this power inverter install for you guys to check out i havent seen one on stang net and ill be doing this a little differently then others you have seen. I am removeing the cd player from the lower din and in the abs plate im makeing will have two ac power plugs, status led and cooling fan. the acuall unit will be mounted in the din itself. Switch relocated to insided arm rest. should look great when im done. Its a 140 watt inverter i ran a ps2 and tv off of one for hours so this should be good.

i've been on a blue quest for my interior for a while myself, (got tired of that plain green interior color). I have switched everything over to blue except for the Mach CD unit. I have the 6 disc changer. Has anyone opened up the head unit to see if there are bulbs we could change out?

They carry some but it's hit or miss when you get there.

Actually my window switches are not lighted. I was thinking of my Expedition. Whoops.
