My next project is running for make blue led interior lights with door switches,
All control ***** (radio,CD, AC), cigarette ashtray, cup holder, door handles, coin box, instrument cluster, ignition switch, glove box etc. and blue light illuminated door sills rear and front. I already bought blue led and smd led and door sills from e-bay and parts.com. I already had HID headlights, LED- parking lights, license plate, top mounted stop, courtesy lights. Only 3 lights will be cool white: dome, interior and trunk lights. I will follow up with pics when done.

Today replaced the glove box white bulb to blue LED and AC /cabin filter. First remove the glove box holder by removing 4 screws from top and bottom (10mm) on both sides. If you need to replace glove box bulb you need to pry out switch/holder by small flat screw drivers on both sides(L/R). Here is the pics.

Last Sunday I finished my blue led project with help from my friend Chris. The blue led that I upgraded recently did not have plug and play, we have to modify a lot of things. Here are the pictures for blue LCD instrument cluster, door sills, control *****, switches, center cup holders, and etc. My daugter Noshin helped me take pictures

Power source for door sills
Thanks for the inspiring comments. Akabond nothing was plug and play, I wrote that before. I had to modify everything to do those mods. For the front and rear door sills, I got the power tapped with the ignition switch. I used RX 330 door sills and it is almost the same size as the RX300. All you have to do is match it with the door clips and make it shorter little by little for the front door sill. For the rear one, it almost fits perfectly. The original sills comes with orange colors and I changed it to blue by leds. Here are some pictures.

Instrument LCD cluster to blue
For the LCD-instruments cluster, you have to remove the cluster like how you change the D light bulb. And then, you separate the LCD screen from the mileage memory device. We used special LCD tape to make it the blue color. It is not a very easy job. You have to be very very careful. Here are some pictures.

Blue Center Console
For the center console, I taped the power source from the cigarette ashtray light bulb. I drilled a hole and added a blue LED to make the color blue.
