Default changing backlight bulbs with led bulbs

i did read a post on multicolored led strips behind the gauges and i find it fascinating but since i just want my gauges with blue back light i wonder if someone replaced the oem bulbs with those new fancy led bulbs you see on ebay now , those bulbs are in any color you like



if so can you tell me or link me what i do need to order plz ? and can the back-light of the ecc and audio be replaces too with them ? i guess with blue replacements the factory buttons will look odd so i guess its better to use white for those

i have to tell you all that i'm dutch and most of the mods i see i have to order from the US since the SC400 wasn't officially sold in the Netherlands so they cost me a ton of shipping costs
i'm new on Lexus after owning a prelude for the last 16 years and i'm still learning about the Lexus technics
i saw on photo's that the gear selector left of the the gear stick are also lighted , is that stock ? maybe i just miss a lot of bulbs in my center console i don't know for sure

thanks

if you do the strips it is just your gauges that changes, plus you can change the color with no hot spotting.

And yes its those colored ones that you have to pull, I think they may have left a couple out by zooming in.

I would recommend the strips.
