Shifter - pull out your ashtray and you should be able to get to the bulb lighting the shifter column. Slide a gel cover over it or replace it with a red bulb. Avoid the pre-made blue bulbs as they tend to fade back to white pretty quickly. Red is very bright and will never fade.

Gauge pod - Hopefully you all know how to get the pod out (that's a separate set of instructions). In my case, I purchased reverse indiglo guage covers a number of years ago when they weren't so trite. I left them in because they still look good... The problem was that my odometer and clock still glowed a nice cheesy yellowish. I pulled the bulbs from the back of the pod (I only replaced the bulbs nearest the clock and odometer. Best bet there is to use gel covers (autostore). I went with red. The clock and odometer now glow a very attractive and bright red which matches the red numbers on my gauge faces. You can easily fit all of the bulbs with gel covers if you do not have indiglo faces. I have done that to another car and the results were great. LED's work well too (see HVAC unit). Tip for people with white faced gauges: color the front of your clear needles with a blue sharpie (tm). It looks great and you can see the needles against the white background. They will still light up from the sides and back.

Convertible top / cruise control switches - Normal LED's are too bright for these. Yank the switch straight out. Grasp the front of the switch and pull. Go practice on a junkyard car. You can then see the tiny bulb. I cut a gel cover into sections and glued them in place. You can also try weak LED's from radioshack.

Am I missing anything?

I was at radio shack and they had a pretty weak LED selection... which autopart store did you find your LED's at?

Thanks, this is going to be my project for next weekend.

Deffinately, I already have the reverse glow gauges installed... I put them in three years ago before they were pretty played out, but I still think they look really good. The black gauges were just too boring for me back then and I wasn't ambitious enough to try anything else at the time.
