Hey I really want to do this for white interior LEDs, btu I really and rather inept with car electronics, I disabled my DRLs and nightime light sand that's about as far as I go. I know flash had a great tutorial on it, but I still found it a little hard to follow.

StockSolara did the gagues in white and it looks sick, but I just don't know what LEDs to order for different parts or anything. I don't really even know where to start with all of it. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me out with that. I go to those LED sites, and it's some huge obnoxiously contrasted harsh red and blue typeface that won't allow me to look at the site for more than minute without my eyes hurting.

Is there a way to change the leds in the stock CD player? Cause ive been wanting to do this but what holds me back is that i can change everything but the CD player and i think that would ruin the whole look.

Yup like BradOwens did... just easier to swap out to a aftermarket headunit...

Just wait til your stock one blows... save the money =P

it has a white option too. the lil blue led down by the shifter is the buttom to turn on the leds(wish i had gotten a red one instead) and the red led thingy turns the leds different colors
