Is there already a thread on how to open up the center console? so i can change the green lights to white or blue led. thanks

Curious on this also, have to get it opened up to fix a rattle anyways this might be a nice mod to make it feel a bit more modern.

Here's a good tutorial. They are all pretty easy except for the puddle light.

i believe he is talking about changing the radio lights to blue or white. i did this on mine. too me the trickiest ones were the small light on the 4 ac openings (2 in the middle above the center console, and 1 on each side of the car in the front).

i'm heading to work but i will try and write something up about doing it. too bad i did take pics on my phone but deleted it all. requires some fine tune soldering fyi.

but its a real gamechanger.

and word of warning dont use blue for those ac lights. everytime you look in your side mirrors you'll see a blue reflection and it will look like a cop is behind you lol

edit: quick question do you have nav unit or no nav unit? dont think it matters but i did mine on a no nav unit for a isx50. (dont have that car anymore though)

If this is what you mean. When i did my led swap (pic in post below) i followed this diy:

on my ig account i have a video from my pillars that shows the front window. the blue reflection at night gets pretty bad so thats why i would avoid blue for those ones.
also i believe there is a member who knows how to change out the push start button. i do still have mine (not sure if im gonna sell it though, just thinking about selling it).
but for the push start button i would try to buy one rather than soldering it yourself, unless you are really good at soldering (i sure wasnt so i just bought it)

edit: forgot to add pic

There is a DIY, but it's not plug and play. You need to solder each LED individually.

I did them for my vehicle and I never had that problem.

could have just been the angle of my side mirrors i like to drive with it kinda pointing inwards. idk. also depends on the specific smd led. i ordered some from ebay (china) and some from a store that specializes in led's (forget the name) i noticed for blue and white there was variation between the two sets in brightness for OP to keep in mind if he buys

before op tackles this, you should practice on the window switches. change those to blue or white. if you have an easy time with that, than you can do center console. if not i wouldnt even attempt trying to do the center console.
also all those buttons (gas,trunk, snow/power, rear shade you will need a specific bulb for it.
