Blue Cooper Dash lights R56 "S"

I would like to change all the bulbs in my dash to blue ones. Has anyone had one apart and know what type of bulbs I need? And does anyone know exactly how to pull it all apart? I just got my MCS 3 weeks ago, and I always work on my own vehicles and I hate leaving things stock! Any help would be great!

Wow, that looks great! But I'm sure LimitLess will want to know who and how.

Having had the dash lighting upgrade on my own MINI I double-checked with the MINI dealer on warranty and was assured by them that this cosmetic modification would not affect the warranty at all.
