Hey mate, there 2 ways to go about changing the colour/s:

- Replacing the bulbs with new LEDs of the colour you want
- Getting bulb covers for the existing bulbs

I went with the latter many years ago when I did it as I didn't have a soldering iron let alone the skills to use one to replace the old bulbs with LEDs. The job generally takes around 30 minutes taking your time and it's fairly easy to do.

Firstly, get some covers like these - https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/334447143640?hash=item4dde9a6ad8:g:AgAAAOSwvEBbUq7f&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4IQEDltWZ4cA%2BUpeq5OtrxKWlBe4euuIJJE1GZzfYX%2FpZ5VoVIKX89Wqydrowxo8v%2BgAwmaqrM6Hl2iB2MykiEk5QDgFHG7pcpVNlTo5iL2snnvIHMalVjFWdEhgWc0sNg40aov7WepkMkgYzYUHM7izk5pPyrSRaM5%2B4V1LtkvHikydkU28oZfH55abduRefa6xwZlGaqjMsnoULZ8RRonhzQFwsyPgyvxPwIlnZiBB%2BB%2FQnrlPo7EMV7uxAUCcKhDxQZs2vsDCZiqVEjv02YTKba1cMp46cdrPiqEPx4Yf|tkp%3ABFBM9quz8rNh. It is annoying that they come in packs of 100 as you'll only need 11 to do the entire centre console area (climate control unit and cigarette lighter).

You can follow this guide Kenshin X created some time ago that I used and this will get you out of trouble: 

Thanks for the reply!

I would love to do purple on the interior, as it's a gorgeous colour (in my opinion) and I think it'll look wicked with the black car. Only issue is finding any sort of lights in purple, especially the dash cluster lights.

I'm also not too sure if the 03 tivos have a red lining inside them, as when the car's off I can see a hint of red where the light shines through, so I think it would probably have to be removed.

Hey all, 

I have a 2003 Corolla Sportivo I just picked up, and I’m not a huge fan of the red/green interior combo on the climate control/dashboard. 

Does anybody know how to change out the bulbs on the dash and climate control module to be a different colour? A friend has purple all round in their car and I absolutely love the look. 

I had a look online and on youtube and cant find any tutorials for these cars, so any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

TIA
