Blue interior lights?
My apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseam, but I found a pic the other day (sorry, misplaced it) of an interior like mine ('18 350 F Sport), but instead of all the lights (like the temp and radio) being white, they were all a cool blue color. All of them looked identical in color as well, so it led me to believe this was some sort of factory option. Is that the case, or is there an aftermarket kit to do this?

I think you meant blue but not as in the photo you posted (which is a stock car) right?
I haven't seen the photo you are referring to but if someone did it, that would be because someone opened up the hvac/stereo etc and individually soldered blue LEDs in place of the stock white ones. A project i want to do one day to my CT. (but with white LEDs) i want to mimic my IS. The CT has old fashioned 90s green Toyota LEDS
Very popular in audi and BMW circles to change out the LEDs. people do LED swaps. it's a very advanced project requiring advanced skill. so even given my extensive DIY experience I'm afraid of bricking expensive modules all cause I wanted a color change. possible but difficult and time consuming. but could be worth it if you want it bad enough. the downside is blue is visually straining to the eyes at night. Red is shown to be the least straining, which is why BMW does red.
