    So awhile ago I installed red leds in my dash lights although I really liked the look I decided to swap them back to stock only because the other console switches were still green.
    So the other day I decided to take apart the console switches and solder in new red leds everywhere. Now I am happy.
    The picture isn't the best but you get the idea. I still have to do the door switches and my a/c controls have no lights since they are carbon fiber. Now I need a new radio since this one has blue lights unless of course I can take it apart. ;)

    Just wanted to share my project I know the haters are going to hate.

    Nice!

    My eyes are so used to BMW and Porsche where they use Amber~ish color, acquired Lexus RX350 last year for my wife and man, my eyes had a hard time to adjust.

    Quite a bit more sinister!! Looks like the devil. They also look really, really bright. Don't blind yourself!! :)

    Edit: You're not really selling your car, are you? ;)

    They are much brighter than the stock green plus I think the picture is a bit overexposed making them even brighter. I just finished up the door switches tonight now everything matches.

    I go back and forth about selling the 355 just depends how she is treating me at the moment.

    They look great Erick. Another example of making your Ferarri YOUR Ferrari.

    I like it too.

    Plus, I've heard that red light is easiest on the eyes at night.

    Yep, it doesn't ruin night vision either that's why it's used in aircraft.
