STi HVAC/Key ring green -> red light mod
I'm going to order the following red lamp covers which will allow you to convert the HVAC and key ring lighting to red. I plan to order ten 10 packs to get the $1.50 price break. You will only need 5 (4 HVAC, 1 key ring) to do the mod, but having extras probably doesn't hurt. Let me know if you want and I'll hold a pack for you. If more then 10 people are interested I'll order more then 10. With shipping it'll be around $2.20 per person.
If someone finds something similiar locally (Radio Shack, etc..) let me know.

I was going to go the marker route, but others have said it fades as time goes on. It's only going to cost $2 and the time is probably about the same since you still have to remove the panels and the existing covers.

They came in the mail today. The cost is $2 for a packet of 10. (Includes shipping). I'll bring them to AutoX on Sunday. If you won't be out there on Sunday PM me and I'll figure out a way to get it to you.
I already did the HVAC controls on mine and will do the key ring in the next day or so. They are not a snug fit over the bulb itself, but they are long enough to pull up over the end of the bulb where they will not fall off. I also found it better (after ripping a a few) to remove a few more screws and put them on from the front rather then try to insert the bulbs with the new cover.
When you do it, you'll know what I mean or I'll be happy to help anyone. It takes about 15-20 minutes if you take your time.
