Default Changing button light color

Hey all I've been searching and can't find any write up for it. Trying to figure out if it's possible to change the button color on the nav, ac, etc from that ugly green to white so it matches the gauge cluster. I know in toyotas a lot of the bulbs are just covered with a green cover but wasn't sure if this was the same.

For this car you actually have to remove it and resolder on new bulbs and everything, not simple.

I had it done on my car and there was a member who did a bunch of our cars. It takes a LOT of work soldering all the little led bulbs but looked so nice.

Here you go, good luck!

If you're planning to do it, use two soldering irons for easier removal of the LEDs.
