I'd love to convert mine as well, but I never will since it'd be a pain to do.

There was a member here that did crazy LED conversions on any part you wanted, I can't remember his name and I am trying to find the old thread but having a hard time. Ill report back if I find it but I am sure its possible!

Heres one link, not exactly what I was thinking of: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-07-gs350.html

i was considering doing the same thing at one point until i found out how much work is needed to put into it. soldering everything would freak me out considering how expensive the console is.

thanks for the input guys.

yeah soldering is not a problem along with the amount of time and work for me. i was just curious to see what it would look like and if anyone has done it an easier way.

thanks for the link. in my opinion i think those are a little too bright and i might use a less luminescent LED.
