Default Interior lighting question

Hi Guys,

Has anyone tinkered around with the center console button back-lighting on their IS, specifically replacing the 'Toyota green' with white lights to better match the instrument cluster and floor lighting?

Sometimes the lights or LEDs that provide backlighting for HVAC buttons and audio controls have plastic or rubber covers over a white light to provide the colored effect. I was wondering if anyone's seen the backs of these units to see if that was the case.

Thanks in advance!

Cathafer on here has her backlights in blue. It looks sick but she said it was quite a lot of work to have it done. Search her name and her car, there should be a few pictures on here. Looks great, I've just heard it's a pain to do If i'm mistaken and it's easier, let me know and I'll do it next weekend

You mean like this? Yes. It's been done a couple of different ways.

Ok, that's absolutely sick! Exactly what I want. Does anybody know a place in SoCal where I can get this done? Lexus, please take note!

I would love to do that, but in all red. Easier on the eyes at night. At night I prefer not to have it bright in the cabin.
