Default Stereo Backlight Color Change

Looking to trade in my 2005 ES330 for a CT200h. One issue I have always had with Lexus is the green backlight on the radio. I just don't like it for some reason. Has anyone out there made an attempt at changing this light?

I am thinking a shad of blue or red.

Blue would be fantastic.
I think one of the errors of Lexus was not to use blue for all interior electronical lights...
If you find a solution please share it with us !

I don't think that it will be as simple as an LED change unfortunately. I think that it would require changing the display unit. I would think the system would need to be removed and then have a new display unit soldered on. I could be wrong but it looks like by the radio type that would be required.
