Default Ignition light

Do any of you guys know how to access the ignition light. I pulled down the dash peice where the pwr, ect n snow buttons are. That exposed a little space to reach behind the ignition but I don't want to pull any wires since it's an
electronic start. Is this the only way to access it or is there an easier way? And does anybody know what bulbs are used..I was thinking they might be those tiny 6063 LEDs or whatever the offical number is. Any help would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks =)

Yes I'd like to change it to blue. I seen it in a thread where they changed every light in the radio and one of the pictures i seen they changed the ignition light too. Id like to do the same however there was no info on how they did it. So instead of it lighting up green it would be blue and so would the light above the wording. Any clue on how to access it?

Heres the link to the thread if you want to see what im talking about.

I pmed 2slow and figured I'd share my knowlege w everyone. The first thing u have to do is pop off the chrome peice. It's held in w nothing more then a few clips n should come off realitivly easy. The next part however is a bit more complex to explain. Once u get the chrome peice off you will expose the ignition peice. Stick a pry tool(i used a taped pocket knife) in the bottom of the ignition. It should now be sitting in between the black ignition peice and the dash material. I insterted the knife about an inch in then pryed it foward. This was the hard part. As your doing it you'll notice as u push the knife down to pry foward, the ignition peice might get a little stuck at the top. If you notice this is happening just stick something between the wall n the peice and it should now slide out. I then opened the black casing of the ignition which revealed a chip. I stopped at this point because I ran out of time but I am planning on continuing. Hopefully this will help some of you =)
