Default Audio System Lighting
We have a 2007 Ultra. The only thing I don't like is the red lighting of the audio system panel. It's hard to read at night. Is there a (preferably easy) way to change to white light bulbs for this - even if I have to have a dealer do it?

Oh, PLEEZE don't say that! Say it ain't so. I don't have my owner's manual handy, so I can't look up if there are replacement bulbs specified for it. I know LED's last a long time, but I'd happily go for incandescent just to get away from the red lights. When you think of the number of dresser riders that are over 40, I can't believe H-D missed the mark on this.

Dang! If only there was a way to pressure H-D to correct that.
