Default Swapped my console, steering wheel and door switch lights..

Hey all thought I would share my little project I finished..I broke my ankle and had to have surgery so while I was home I decided to swap out my led's on my console, seat heater switch, steering wheel, door switches, and engine start button. Pretty much all the lights possible.

Wasn't to hard, just took a lot of patience and a steady hand.. I will try to get up a diy here once I get a chance. I really like the way it looks now.. I hated the green.

You should give yourself a "pat on the back" because everything looks great. The blue looks much better than the Lexus green.

Can't wait for the write-up.

The whole front part of the console removes so you would just have to ship that. Not the whole system itself..
