Being that you don't live in AZ, I can't help you with this. It's hard to warranty this kind of work when you live out of town.

Maybe Ghozt can you help, he might know someone in your area.

Sorry.

Hey djtonyg, did you use the fuse box inside the cabin to power the footwells or did you use the on in the engine bay? I want footwell lights.

Man this really does look amazing djtonyg. Great work. Lol I'm not trying to be a hater and I honestly don't know if it would be possible but I think what would really set it off is if you could change the orange needle to that hyper white that the lexus's have in them or even the blue you already have. I guess I'm just not a big fan of the orange they put in our cars.

Wow, that is some great job. A red needle would have been great. But you did great on how it turned out to be.

Oh cool stuff Ghozt. I guess to each his own. I'm sure he stuck with the orange because he liked it. I've never done any types of mods like this. Maybe I'm a whimp but taking apart the odometer and all in a new 30 some odd thousand dollar car just makes me little queasy. I'm sure that dj has done this many times before. I know I sure wouldnt have my new car be my first guinea pig.

Here's my question. Did the odometer LCD's need an LED change or are they just using an orange filter on the LCD? I have the monochrome style center screen in mine and I'm guessing those LCD's are the same as the monochrome.

No worries. I was going to do that, but my buddy (MooShoo) did it already and I did not want to copy his. 2nd I'm a big fan of VW's, i like there dash colors.

In regards to the car being less then a year old ($35K) and me messing with it. I wanted to be the 1st person to do this to a 7th Gen. Hopeful I did it.

Word of advice make sure you have a steady hand!!

Thanks for the feedback.
