Well, anything is possible with the right tools and know how. So I imagine you could wire in a red LED, but they do sell that bulb in colours, I got 2 red ones for about $4 at crappy tire.
It is not hard to change the bulb if you are handy with a screw driver. Although you do have to remove the entire center console unfortunately.
-Remove the trim screw in front of your cup holders.
-Pop out your power window switches/coin thing and take out the screw out you see in there.
-Open up your center console and take out the two screws in the bottom.
-Lift the center console right out of the car, now you can see a plastic box with a harness going up to it, near your shifter.
-Twist this out the harness and you will find your burnt out bulb.
-Replace the bulb and put everything back together.
Hope this helps if you haven't already figured it out, pretty simple job, figured I would type it out so it might help someone in the future who runs a search..
What year, ?????? most of the time the bulb is a 194, it was for the 05 Cavalier I did at work
- 2004 Cavalier - 124k, owned since new
Thanks Mike for typing it out. You were right, I did a search here to figure out what was involved in changing the bulb and your post popped right up.
