: Changing Recon Cab light bulbs.....

So I wanna change my cab light bulbs to blue to match my interior gauges etc. I took off one of the side ones earlier to see what all would be involved since they are the led style and cant seem to figure out how to do it...... The lense doesnt come off. There is a tab on the bottom to release the circuit board that they are all soldered on, but you cant fully release it bc the board hits the lense before the tab clears to remove them...... Can it even be done or should i call it hopeless. lol. I know the pacer lights are 194 socket style and seen a couple like that done before, but cant seem to figure these out. Think i am fixing to go out and bring the light inside to tinker with it. Any ideas?

blue lights on the out side of your truck will get you pulled over real fast.

For warning, if your cab lights are smoked recons blue bulbs will turn them green! Been there done that. When you pull the screws out the gasket will come off and the bulb should be there and just pull the shit out of it!!!!

I have a buddy that has smoked lenses and 194 leds and they light up right...... And i took mine apart but the circuit board wont come out of the socket. So i can even resolder in new bulbs until i get it out. I kinda just gave up on the idea. lol
