what would you charge to just change led colors for the instrument cluster and HVAC controls? I have a red light switch steering controls and could easily change out the center window switch for a g8 version thats red also?

I do want the red. It's interesting that they look the same with the cluster. Not sure how to swap the faces. Is the red lighting located in the face? AND I got another question. Will the G8 gas petal swap? I heard the PCM needs to be programed to do that..... Thanks

The window switches in the 9c3 are just a tad different with colors. However I took the bottom part of the switch and connected it to the Caprice top and I had red lighting with the color matching my trim.

Thats a great idea on the switch, time to find a used g8 one... whats the issue with the G8 gas pedal? I can't see how it would not work?

They said the PCM could prevent it from working and mess up your car...... Looking for someone who has better knowledge. Maybe Chris will chime in on this.
