Default Interior LED Change

the ONLY thing that has made me sad about my IS350, is the fact that they should of used white / blue lights for the dash buttons..

Reason? I think it works well with the cluster! and the white lights on the rest of the car..

I have not seen this mod done ANYWHERE.. however today I accidentally found it and I think some of you would love to change that green..

The seller does not offer the LED for sale, nor does he provide the instructions.
He only does the installation, sadly for me I am in Alberta, and he is down in the states

Some of you may want to go get this done, here are the links..

I also have attached my photoshopped picture of what I would want done..

If anyone knows how to do this, it would be awesome if you made a thread with photos on how you do it!

this is a repost.. the guy charges like $1000 or something.. u can do it yourself if you have expierence with taking apart your dash and your good with a solder iron.. all you have to do is go thru the circuit board and change out all the 2mm leds. good luck. it will definately void out ur warrenty on your electrical on your dash.

I don't see why the Lexus Dealership themsevles wont do it, their trained technicians should have no problem for this simple (yet time consuming) switcharoo..

Do we have anyone who is willing to do it?

I've did the blue IS-F with all blue LED conversion last year...

The reason for being high price is that, you literially have to take apart to the bare circuit board and you have to work from there..
It's not as easy is just swaping out LED bulb..
Also it uses like few different type of LED and some are custom made to fit...
The whole pricess takes about 4-6 hour and it's pretty labor intensive...
