It's not as bright as it seems in the pics. If any of you want pricing, you'll need to pm LED guy yourself. He prices it based on the job. I won't tell you what I paid, as he may want to charge more or less this time around. All I know is he does good work. Takes care of your car and backs up the work he does.

1st, I never drink and drive, no matter what car I'm in. Those are unopened bottles, which are legal for transport. 2nd, yes, the led's on the steering wheel were changed out, and you'll have to ask the LED guy how he did that. 3rd, the PRND12 are not lit up on a 2008. That would of been a nice feature.

The clock is an LCD screen. The only way to change it is to add a filter to make it light light green. Which seems kind of white like in the 06-08 2IS.

The camera makes it much brighter than in person.

You need to take off the steering wheel airbag. 2 t-30 nuts hold that in. 2 screws hold the buttons in place.

You can be the first one to have white and red. I think it would look sick.

I personally have the center console from 2008+, it lights up no problem in green. Take out the center console and change that bulb. BTW i was joking about the bottles not sure why you took it to the hearth

I didn't, sometimes the way I type comes out that way. Trust me I've heard it from my lady several times. "You're so serious when you text!" I was just trying to answer, I just don't know how to put smiles in my writing w/o actually putting smiles in my writing. I have to remember to add those as well as the lol's! lol

If anyone has any recommendations on where I can get this done in South Florida, please let me know. I know a place that most likely will do it, but I don't feel like getting ripped off.
