Thumbs up Blue Led for Console

Found this on a Japanese website.

The guy opened the console and replaced the green light with Blue Led.



Here is a night shot

I believe so. MD although wasn't successful in the States, but it was widely used in Asia.

Although, its kinda funny they still have it on the new cars. Since most people are into IPOD/Mp3 players.
