hmm...not exactly what im looking for, but thanks anyways. I was actually talking bout the lights that are kinda orangish? wen you turn on the lights at night? ex: a/c buttons, volume, #'s 1-6, and so on. i was wondering if anyone painted in red to match the interior light.

how can you change light in there

well, the evoIX's interior is white except for the gauges and i know a person that changed it red to match his gauges. So i was wondering if it can be done to the si also.

Search around, I remember sombody on here did it. You dont paint the lights, you remove them and replace them with red LED lights. Alot of saudiering(spelling) is required. It is a pretty extensive job.
