New dash LED upgrade, new colors!!!
Well thanks to GEC, I got my interior lights changed out. Instead of going all blue I decided to mix it up a bit and go white with blue. Just installed everything and it looks amazing. It's like a whole new car inside!!!

The hotspots on the gauges are not even like this in person (figured someone would comment!!)

I also got crazy with my new dremel tool (went waaay furthur than planned) and opened up the hole for the accent light in the upper center console. The entire armrest and drink holder shine a nice blue now!! You can see the armrest in the 1st pic.

I also bought an LED light strip (60 led's) and ran it along my new speaker box, Turned out pretty nice...

Those gauges look really hot. I like the red shifter lights. But I think you should have went with a red console light as well. I did that with my console light using this red bulb
.This thing is bright as hell and it looks reall good at night.

Yeah I thought he was going to do yours before he did mine...I don't mind being the gineau pig!!!

No diy, way too involved. (see the link) The bottom screen is the non nav info screen, moved down from the top...

all you gotta do is interupt the odometer wire with a toggle switch...
find the wire cut it, add switch, then you can toggle it on and off, have done it on a lot of vehicles, including am 03 max,
