Ignition Light Ring Change?

Hey...I finally changed nearly all my interior lights to blue which includes clock, temp. gauge, instrument cluster, etc... Unfortunately I do not know how to change the light at the ignition ring....II already have a # 74 blue bulb for this job... Can anyone please help me change this light for a 99 Acura CL?

Found out how to do this at http://www.ledautomotive.com... Just finished the installation today. The only hard part with doing this is soldering on the blue led because the led is so small that you cannot hold it still to solder it to the key chip. The 98-02 keyhole kit that they sell on this website also works with 97-99 Acura CL. If you are planning to do this installation...you must have a low watt soldering iron, de-soldering braid, and silver solder preferably from radio shack. This is a helpful hit to find the cathode mark: on the led that you buy from this site, the led has two connection on each side that is different color; the color green is the cathode mark, which should be installed opposite to the stock anode mark.

Here is a direct link for those who want to do this:
