Have you ever replaced the ignition keyhole light? Mine is burnt out and it appears to be hardwired in.

But...you will see two white wires going into a rubber cavity. If you look hard this rubber cavity is actually a rubber plug that goes into a rubber cavity. Get some small needle nose pliers or a small pick and gently pry the rubber 'tube' carrying the small bulb out. Then you can pull the bulb out of the rubber tube thingy. Over here I go to Radio Shack and get a 12 volt 'grain of wheat' bulb. They have various colours. One that I got was cool as hell, it had two small pieces of heat-shrink tubing included. Anyway, just cut the leads as close to the bulb, slide some appropriate sized heat shrink tubing over the leads a ways back to give you some room, solder in the new leads, slide the heat shrink tubing up and apply some heat and, voila! Now just put the bulb in the rubber tube thingy, and...this is the fun part....slide the tube back into the cavity. It helps to apply some sort of lube, I went with a silicone based stuff I use on 'O' rings and it slid right in.

Enjoy this semi-cool little feature of the FD.
