Thanks for posting this L! I too would like a different color to the LEDs, but thanks to your effort, it looks like it's something out of my skillset and comfort level.
Would be pretty sweet to replace the green with White or Light-Blue LEDs.

i bet if our cars came with anyother color we'd be all... wow i wish i could change it to green... like if we had clear tails to start with we'd be all, oh we need redouts, then someone would put on amberouts and everyone would jump on that too

I have seen similar walkthrough on the JP car sight. It definitely a lot of work to change out lights.
However, I do like the white or blue interior L.E.D's since it matches our drivers gauge.
Not sure why Lexus designed their gauges to look nice and styling but ended up with remaining parts with green light.
There are people who have done this mod already (in JP), and I would think a lot of people on this forum would do it too if it didn't require so much work and some knowledge of taking the car apart, removing the LED properly and soldering in the new LED's. On top of that, we are risking potential damage to the electrical and void warranty if done incorrectly.
Anyways, props to the OP for taking pictures and sharing insights. This give people some idea on how to approach this mod if they are considering it.

Wow, thanks for resurrecting this one, I must have missed it the first time around. It honestly looks easier that I would have guessed, just gotta find someone with the tools.
