Project Blue Too
I decided to replace the dim red blinking security LED with a BRIGHT blue LED instead. In addition to replacing the LED, I also modified a resistor value to further increase the light output. I estimate the new blue LED to be 2 to 3 times brighter than the OEM original. The two pics of the LED lit up on the work bench were taken with it hooked up to a 9V battery. 12 volts = brighter yet
DULL OLD RED
BRIGHT NEW BLUE
IN-DASH PICS:
Day-time:
Night-time:
Props to esucaris1 for relinquishing his extra security/dimmer module so I could take it apart and experiment!
If anyone is interested, I'm offering an upgraded Security LED service in the ES300/330/350 Classifieds Forum.

Thanks guys.
If you want one of these - and let's face it, who wouldn't?! - but don't want the hassle of buying parts and tackling the modifications yourself, check out my ES300 classified thread:
