White instead of blue? Maybe red or yellow!

If there's somebody here who has done it, it's the Dude. Or elduderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

He could probably help you out.

All you'd have to do is change the LED's behind the buttons and screen.
There's also usually a colored thin filter that you'd have to remove from the back of the buttons as well.

It's not easy, you'd have to remove the entire console, then open up the console itself, then solder on the led AND RESISTORS to each light source.

Here's a picture from my previous car (98 Accord Sedan)

Looks like a lot of work ... if some shop can do that it will be good ..

id HIGHLY doubt a shop would do it. acutally it wouldnt be all that difficult if u were confortable with removing the head unit (im assuming it comes out in one piece) from there its just probably unscreing a few things. The resistance should be the same for all the LEDs and hopefully you would be able to find LEDs with the right indepenedence to not hafta use resistors cuz im not too sure if there would be enough room. i think the project would be more time consuming and take up alot of prep time before it would be more difficult mechaniically to do it
