Hey guys, jsut wonderin if anyone has done, or knows of a way to change the color of the screen on the SLE temperature readout, stereo, and all the other none matching green color stuff.

See, i dont need an exact match to the guage, but i m replacing the stereo and it has blue color scheme, and im gettin underglow thats blue. Really, i just want some sort of variation of blue, just to keep the consistency.

Thanks for all the help guys...
Oh, and i tried searching, but i keep finding out that i m really bad at searching, so if i need to search better just tell me.

yeah, swap to the Gen 2.5 unit. Any from 2007 up and SLE will work.

do you know if thats a tough install/swap?

Unless you find a junkyard center console to swap with, that could be expensive. Michael T swapped his LEDs in the guage cluster. It's time consuming and takes some soldering skills, but it's cheap. Tough part is finding the blue you want. Most blues out there are brighter than the "Indiglo" pale blue of the guages and the '07+ stereo. I looked at Mike's and that blue would clash with my stereo. So I'm still looking at blue speedo etc, blue stereo, green HVAC and center guage cluster.

yea, finding parts seems to be the hardest part of trickin out our Solara's.

Oh well, ill just look for the gen 2.5 console, and if i find it then ill do it. If not, than i need to find some way to make, Bright blue, indigo blue, and green sound like its consistent. haha
