LED Swap complete 07 GS350
I wish I had taken more before pics, but oh well, I took pics of everything removed, then everything reinstalled. I had Tim Louie do it in California, we had some trouble with UPS Losing the box, but in the end everything was found and returned to me so after a week of stressing out about the box, it finally came in.
My goal was to remove as much green as possible and go to almost all white, I didn't want to end up with a "custom" look but more of a factory look. I think it turned out perfect for what I wanted.
Also all window controls were removed and changed, and I changed the seat warmer / cooler, cig lighter, shifter LEDs myself.
driver's door
control pod
starter button with foot depressed
seat heater cold / hot blue / red
shifter now white
cig lighter
center stack all done, had to fix a few led's that weren't lighting up upon arrival
steering wheel
starter button without brake depressed....and the center stack before I fixed the non-working LED's

it takes about 5 minutes to get them out, I didn't replace the LEDs myself on that component so I'm not sure if they are plug and play or soldered in.
that was my favorite part too due to the disgustingly dim factory leds in the wheel I couldn't tell whether they were on or off, finally I can see them

yup he helped me through the process.
as a head's up to anyone who's going to mail their stuff, make sure you insure it properly, take no chances on the value, it might cost a few hundred to ship it with insurance both ways but it's worth it if they lose it, and also, I would only recommend it if you're mechanically inclined, when it arrived a few LED's didn't work which required me to either ship it back to california, and since UPS lost my package once I didn't want to do that so I was comfortable enough to tear down the radio stack to the circuit boards and fix the issues, didn't take too long to figure it out, and I'm very happy with the result.

The one thing I would put lights into are the buttons up top..... buttons for lights/moon roof/etc.
Hard to turn on the lights when I can't find the buttons for those lights.

Nicely done!
I'd love to do the steering wheel buttons. I also like to do the overhead compartment (lights and moon roof buttons) if someone makes them available.

yeah to put them up top you'd have to wire them up there and seems that would also require a lot of work
