Dash LED question

I'm strongly considering changing the color of the speedo and ac... can you change the color of the LCD display too? I don't want the rest of the car blue and still have a yellow LCD display... I checked Evilution's website for the disassembly instructions but didn't see anything on this.

Are you talking about the display beneath the speedo or the one in the Radio9/10? You can change both of them. Scroll down about 3/4 of the way - he shows pictures of both displays.

Do you want to do the counting on how many LED's of each type we need?

I'd still like it done... but that will be done by a professional after the warranty has expired....

Does it affect the warranty? It would take me forever to do probably if I tried it

Well atleast that part of the warranty...I doubt they would cover any issues that arose with the speedo if they turned it on and it was blue.

Man and i thought it took balls to crack open the headlights and paint them, but that is some SERIOUS balls, maybe if i had a place to get the LEDs i needed and someone that was awesome at soldering. Im ok with tearing apart the car, its just the soldering im not great at.
