Green LED's??
I was just wondering.. do you think it is possible to replace the ugly orange lights in the inside (speedometer and radio/knobs) To be green? Where might one go to purchase this light bulb and set it up )

This has been done before, but the problem lies in the fact that many of these LEDs are soldered into the components so you have to be a very meticulous person with good soldering skills to effectively change those lights. I forget the name of the thread that pops up here and there on this subject.

One thing the thread doesn't cover is the stock head unit. If I have time I can take apart my stock one and provide some direction if needed.

Oh and something to consider before you do it...green is the color your eyes are most sensitive to. If you're going to do it test it first before you do all the work and then end up not liking it.
