    I'm wanting to replace the lights that are inside. Just a little attention to detail. I can't find any information on if this can even be done. Help me out guys

    I believe so, I can't imagine that they have writing on them only to read in the daytime. I know other area are supposed to be lit up. Like the cargo window switch, the Climate control panel, etc buttons and a few others I can't think of. I've done the rest of the interior lights in green including the gauge cluster. It looks killer!

    It totally looks different now that I put a 7in touchscreen in it that is programmable, so I matched the green LED's. It lights up incredibly cool at night

    My alternator did go out and I replaced it with a 165amp to accommodate my new stereo system. You could take a charging port out and add a voltmeter to monitor your power, super easy and super cheap.

    My alt went out at 400,000 miles. They aren't suppose to last nearly that long.

    Maybe I haven't noticed. I've had my 2002 since new and never remembered the door controls to be lit up. If you figure it out, let us know.
