    Cool, but it will not look so good together with the amber color of everything else in the car. You will need to exhange the lightning for everything to get a overall effect.

    Default Just replace the bulbs

    with LEDs

    I replaced the three OBC bulbs with LEDs and resistors and it works.

    Just gotta sand the LEDs to defuse the light and fit them to the base.

    The display is still amber, but the diming function is not as good.

    i think it would look better, more BMW-esq if one were to use white LED's instead, does anyone have pictures of all the amber lights converted to LED's?

    Any more detailed explanations of how to do this? My pioneer radio face illuminates the same color blue.
