Yeah, been there, done that. I tried taking that thing apart to change the bulbs to blue LED's, but no avail! I believe you have to remove that big temp. **** to access the panel. I tried my hardest in pulling that **** off, but I also didn't want to risk in breaking the unit, so I gave up. It made me quite mad, because I wanted that unit also to match my on-going "Blue-LED" theme in my interior. Check out my homepage for pics!
