Default Climate Control

Anyone have any idea how to do this?



Member, d3fc0N_21, did this to his and that is his climate control in the picture. He never bothered telling anyone how he went about doing this and he hasn't been on in months.

Was wondering if any of you guys have figured it out because that looks sick.

Thanks!

except you have to get the right bulbs and take apart basically the entire center console and the green ring around the key hole

How about the lighting behind the buttons and how did he manage to change the text on the LCD to white and the background to blackish-blue?

Please, excuse my ignorance.
